For many women with curly and coily hair edges, or a strong full hair line is the absolute goal. 

If you’ve been paying attention to hair trends then you’ve noticed that artful edges are in. Women have mastered laying their edges down beautifully swooping,  swirling and framing their face. 

Laid edges can turn a regular bun into an art show with just the help of a brush and some edge control. 

But for those women who are experiencing thinning edges or hair loss around their hairline, it can be very stressful and upsetting. Any woman can experience thinning, breaking, or balding around the hairline. There are numerous reason why your edges can thin out over time. 

If you are suffering from thinning hair or hair loss around your hair line it is important to find cause and know that there are remedies to help regrow hair naturally. 

The Cause of Your Thinning Hairline

The hairline is usually finer and more fragile than the rest of the hair on your head. When styling, these delicate hairs  are usually the most manipulated from brushing and tugging into ponytails, buns or braids.

According to Prevention, there are many causes of hair loss such as pregnancy, drastic weight loss, stress, hereditary, chronic illness and conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, and traction alopecia to name a few. It is important before you consider regrowing your hair to identify the cause of your hair loss so you may properly treat it.

How to Regrow Hair Naturally 

If you’re looking to regrow your edges it’s important to consider some of these ground rules first. 

Avoid Tight Hairstyles 

Ideally  protective styles like braids, weaves, and wigs are supposed to give your hair a break form daily manipulation and styling, however these styles may contribute to your hair loss from the tugging and pulling it takes to create these looks. The strain on your hairline may result in traction alopecia. 

This also goes for glues, adhesives and wig caps which may prevent the scalp from breathing and yanking at the hair line in order to maintain the style.  Some women my even experience an  allergic reaction to these products resulting in hair loss. 

Stop using Edge Controls

When I say edge control I don’t only mean the gels and pomades, I’m also talking about reducing the amount of heat and brushing you apply at your hair line. Contrary to popular belief, they do not need to be slicked down and manipulated all the time. Give your hairline a break.

Start Doing Scalp Massages 

Scalp massages are a great way to stimulate your scalp to encourage hair growth. A daily 5 minute scalp massage will encourage your blood vessels to increase blood flow and circulation to your scalp and hair follicles. Your blood carries nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles which aid in hair growth. 

Use Stimulating Oils and Treatments

While you’re giving yourself that scalp massage, grab a stimulating oil or cream mixture for those problem areas. These treatments help in encouraging blood flow, repairing the follicles and encouraging growth. Our favorite natural treatment is Edge Naturale.

Sleep on a Satin Pillowcase 

Start sleeping on a satin pillowcase at night instead of cotton. Cotton is drying and will absorb the natural oils and moisture right out of your hair while you toss and turn in your sleep. This loss of moisture can lead to breakage. Your edges  desperately needs your natural oils and moisture when they are thinning in order to regrow.

If you have been experiencing hair loss around your hairline it is important to properly identify the cause and try these steps to naturally begin to regrow your edges back.
