9 Steps to Grow Back Your Hairline

The hairs that form the hairline, edges and nape are always particularly fragile and thin, regardless of race and hair type. If you're a relaxed head, you have probably experienced a thinning hair line at some point. More so if you have had extended periods of braid extensions, weaves, cornrows or ponytails.

A thin hairline is far from attractive and limits the hair styles that you can wear.

The good news is that with a little tender loving care and plenty of patience, you can grow your hairline back. The exception is if the hair follicles have been damaged beyond repair. If you have bald spots that are smooth and show no signs of hair growth, then it is unlikely that the hair will grow back. Your best course of action would be to seek medical advice - visit your family doctor or see a dermatologist.

List of Natural Oils for Hair Care

Natural oils are a must-have in hair care. Ethnic hair tends to be dry and/or porous, allowing moisture in and out of the hair very easily.They are used to seal moisture in the hair as oils are anti-humectants i.e. they repel water.

Oils are also used to massage the scalp - they contain nutrients that nourish hair follicles. Some oils also irrigate hair follicles. The process of massaging stimulates circulation in the scalp and promotes healthy hair growth. 

Carrier oils are gentle oils that can be used on their own. Essential oils are strong potent oils that should never be used directly on the hair or scalp. An essential oil must be mixed with a carrier oil before use. A drop or two of essential oil in a couple of spoonfuls of carrier oi is more than enough. Exercise caution when using essential oils.
