ARE YOU LOSING YOUR HAIRLINE ???
Growing up, i was very partial to braids, they were convenient,good to manage (u could just up and go,no need to brush or style and you still looked good) and extremely easy on the pocket (that was veeery important),being that u could carry a braid for 6 - 8 weeks. u'd look a bit crazy by the eighth week but who cared, we were all young and care free, the most important thing was at least having something on your head.
I don't braid anymore cause i lost my hairline, all my years of braiding gave me a ''mama mi l'eko'' hairline which i'v been trying to grow back for years.Most women don't realize the damage to temple hair from years of over-processing, tight braids and pony-tails is permanent!
The condition is called traction or scarring alopecia and affects more black women than any other group of women because of the hair styles and chemical processes we subject our hair to.Every time our hair is braided or woven to apply a weave,the tension caused by the pulling of the hair strands inflames the pores causing them to swell up and close. When this process happens again and again over time the damage becomes permanent and the hair follicle dies.
When detected early, traction alopecia can be reversed, here are some tips to follow to maintain a healthy hairline-
-STOP all hairstyles that put extreme tension on your hairline,braids and ghana weaving especially.
-When fixing weaves make sure your hair stylist separates the fine hair along your hairline before she weaves your hair.
-IF u have to braid or weave ur hair AT ALL then apply a cortisone cream once a day to the hair line and any other areas you feel extreme tightness, this will reduce the inflammation of the follicles that eventually leads to scarring and hairloss
I'v found Organic root stimulator 's TEMPLE BALM very effective in combating hairline loss - it is a miracle product! applying temple balm to your hairline with an old toothbrush not only makes your ''baby hair'' sleek and polished, it also has the added advantage of gently exfoliating and stimulating the pores along your hairline.
Regrowing your hairline is never a quick fix,don't be discouraged when results are not immediate.,be patient, stick to the routine and u'd see the results eventually.
