Healthy Hairline Tips: How to Strengthen Your Hairline & Grow Edges Back
No one wants to look into the mirror and see a receding or out-of-control hairline. Seeing your hairline recede is disconcerting at best. Genetics can play a role in this natural process, but is there anything we can do to help maintain a healthy hairline? Yes! Here are four tips you can try at home today.
Tip 1: Eat a Healthy Diet
Did you know your hair is usually the last part of your body to receive nutrients? Your body can even pull nutrients from your hair if they are needed somewhere else. This is why the best foods for longer stronger hair are high in protein, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids.
An easy way to include healthy foods into your diet is by making colorful salads and smoothies with nutrient-dense foods like walnuts, spinach, and blueberries. The more colors you can add the better.
Tip 2: Maintain a Natural Hair Routine
In addition to what we put into our bodies, what we put on our bodies matters too. A simple routine is to cleanse, condition, seal, and style. To keep a healthy hairline wash with a gentle moisturizing shampoo. If your hair feels greasy or lifeless, consider cleansing more often. If your hair is dry or frizzy, cleanse less often.
In addition, when you style your hair pay attention to how tightly you pull on your hairline. If you keep your hair pulled back tight day after day, it is as if you are constantly pulling on your hairline causing it to recede over time. The solution is to alternate the way you style your hair from time to time to reduce stress on your hairline.

Tip 3: Use Natural Hair Products
When you consider your hair care routine, be intentional to use products that are water-based. Alcohol-based products dry out hair and can cause hair loss. Look for labels that list natural ingredients that are sulfate-free, paraben-free, alcohol-free, and silicone-free.
To keep your baby hairs slayed and in place at your hairline without buildup or flakiness, try Pro Beauty Girl’s Edge Control. Made with castor oil, argan oil, and essential oils to add moisture to your delicate hairline. Our water-based formula works wonders on natural and relaxed hair.
Tip 4: Massage Your Scalp
You can stimulate the skin around your hair follicles with a massage. Try gently massaging your scalp for about four minutes each day, or as often as you remember. This increases blood circulation around your hair follicles. One way to magnify the benefits of your massage is to add essential oils like peppermint, rosemary, and lavender in a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba.
If you aren’t a DIY gal, our Luxe Hair Growth Oil makes this easy. For a more intense treatment after your scalp massage, wrap your head in a silk bonnet and let your scalp rest overnight. This treatment is not only relaxing, but it can reinvigorate the cells on your scalp to encourage healthy hair growth. Your hairline will thank you.

However, you can be proactive to keep a healthy hairline by eating a colorful nutrient-rich diet, maintaining a healthy hair regimen, using natural hair products – without sulfates, parabens, alcohol, or silicones – and massaging your scalp. You have the tools you need to make your hair stronger and less resistant to falling out. We’re cheering you on!
