He/She used to call back the scarce hair towards the crown of the head.
I've posted "He/she" because from the sentence it's impossible to understand if the speaker is a male or a female.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but I have been out of latin for a long time! Capillum is hair, revocare is to call out/back, vertice is the crown of your head (I'm assuming because capillum is also in the sentence), deficientum is like disappointment.
Recall the hair from by the crown of your head and be accustomed to dissapointment? That's all I got, but I think it comes from this passage about Caesar not accepting a laurel wreath crown:
"He was somewhat fussy in the care of his person,
carefully trimmed and shaved, even having superfluous hair plucked out;
his baldness troubled him greatly, he used to comb forward his scanty locks from the crown of his head," Hope it helps?
