How To Grow Back Damaged Edges: A Simple Guide

The hair strands that frame our face(aka edges) are much more fragile compared to the rest of the hair that covers our head.

As it stands, your edges are the most susceptible to damage and hair loss. If you’re looking to grow back your edges faster, there are a few things you can do to help speed up the process.

Identify the cause

First, it is important for you to identify the cause of your thinning edges. Common culprits include tight hairstyles, overuse of heat styling tools, chemical treatments (like use of relaxer to lay your edges), or simply neglect. Identifying the root cause will help you make necessary changes to prevent further damage.

Massage your scalp

Be sure to massage your scalp regularly. Massaging your scalp stimulates blood flow to the area, which can help to promote hair growth.

You can use a scalp massager or your fingertips to massage the parts of your hairline with thinning edges for a few minutes every day.

Protective Styles

While protective styles are what may have gotten you here in the first place, some can be beneficial to your edge-revival journey. Styles like natural hair twists that aren’t taxing on your hairline can create a favorable environment for regrowing your edges.

Ensure that your hair edges are not under constant tension with whichever protective style you choose. This can lead to further damage and instead hinder the regrowth process.

Use natural oils

Consider using natural oils to favor hair growth at your edges. Some natural remedies that may help include castor oil, rosemary oil (diluted with a carrier oil), and peppermint oil (also diluted with a carrier oil).

Patience

Growing back damaged hair edges takes time, and results may not be immediate. We know it may be hard, but just be patient and consistent in your care routine.

Bottomline

By following these simple steps, you’ll favor the revival of your hairline. However, if you’re still having trouble growing them back despite your efforts, it’s important to talk to a dermatologist to make sure there is no underlying illness causing your hair loss.
