Receding Hairline in Natural Hair


Receding hairline does not only affect men, but also women. This condition can be genetic so I was not surprised when I have been noticing that my hair has been receding similar to how my father's hairline is. I needed to know what I can do to help rectify this problem.

Here is the beginning of my receding hairline journey.

For the year, 2014, one of my main hair goals is to grow more hair along the problematic areas.  Here is my action plan:

  1. Proactively apply hair growth oils such as Castor Oil, Lavender Oil and/or Nubian Heritage Grow and Strengthen Treatment Masque 
  2. Massage the area diligently.
  3. Moisture this area after washing my face; morning and night.
  4. Do not use brushes along my edges, use my fingers instead
  5. Avoid the use of bonnets that are tight along my edges

If all fails, then style to hide problem.. =(... LOL!

    I totally agree about the bonnets, I left using them years ago before going natural because I found they chewed up my edges back then. Good luck on your edge journey.

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut

  @breezyspuffs (IG) Getting rid of split ends in natural hair involves a combination of good hair care practices and regular maintenance. Here are some effective ways to manage and reduce split ends: 1. Trim Regularly • Schedule Regular Trims : Every 8-12 weeks, visit a professional stylist or trim your hair at home with sharp hair-cutting shears to remove split ends. • Search and Destroy Method : If you prefer not to cut your hair often, this method involves trimming individual split ends as you spot them. 2.
