I believe the answer is:

widows peak

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hairline' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both body parts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'wow a spiked sporty' is the wordplay.
'sporty' indicates anagramming the letters.
'wow'+'a'+'spiked'='wowaspiked'
'wowaspiked' is an anagram of 'WIDOWS PEAK'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for widows peak that I've seen before include "V-shaped hairline" , "Barnet v remaining" .)
