mdd: I agree, hair being a Chatzitzah is a Chumra of the Achronim with a relatively weak basis in the Rishonim. But they do bring it down. Pashtus the difference is whether this is a spot where the hair naturally grew, though such a difference isn’t Shayach in Hilchos T’vilah. That’s why I said a combover. Though it’s fairly clear that some Achronim hold that having thick or long hair naturally at the front of the head could be a Chatzitzah. I agree it’s a Dachuk P’sak. But you cannot deny that some Achronim do say it.
