How to Grow Your Edges Back
First of all, I want to start this off by saying... All edges matter!
No matter if your edges are sparse and thin or if you have Elvis Presley's sideburns. The health of your hair and scalp is an ongoing journey.
Enough with the edge shaming!
... even if you're the one doing it to yourself.
There are a number of reasons why your hairline can start thinning but the good news is most of them are preventable.
Check out the tips below to find out why and how to stop it.
How to Grow Your Edges Back
Clarify Your Hair
If you like to lay your edges down with a ton of hair product day after day, then your hair may be experiencing product build up. If left unaddressed, product build up will dry out your hair and lead to breakage.
Use a clarifying shampoo once a week to detox your hair and break down any left over product. The Volume Shampoo uses bentonite clay to gently pull out impurities and improve moisture retention.
Use a Strengthening Deep Conditioner
A deep conditioner with protein will make your hair stronger and stop breakage. Protein also bulks up your hair strands, making it appear thicker.
However, too much protein can throw your hair's moisture- protein levels out of balance. The Deep Repair Treatment infuses your hair with keratin, a natural protein found in hair to strengthen it and the mineral malachite to restore moisture levels.
Massage Your Edges
Not only does a massage reduce stress (which can also cause hair loss) but it stimulates your hair follicles to encourage growth.
Before bed, grab a light weight oil and gently massage your scalp for at least one minute. Amethyst oil contains hemp seed proteins that will soothe an irritated scalp and encourage hair growth.
Be Careful When Styling
Tight hairstyles will cause tension and rip the hair from your edges and nape area. Over time this will damage the hair follicle and hair will stop growing back.
When styling, be mindful not to make your ponytails or buns too tight that they cause tension to your edges. If you're getting a protective style, like box braids or weaves, make sure to let your stylist know when you feel any tightness so that they may adjust.
Lastly, take breaks in between your hair styles. If you wear the same placed bun everyday then the same areas are always experiencing tension which can cause breakage.
Reduce Friction
Friction against fabrics can cause your hair to dry out and break. Be sure to sleep with a satin scarf, bonnet or pillowcase at night to keep your hair hydrated. Never wear hats, scarves or head bands that rub against your hairline on a consistent basis.
