As you are growing out natural hair you might find that you have difficulty keeping a healthy hair line. You might be frustrated if your hair line is always broken off and doesn't seem to grow in. The trouble is likely due to the fact that this is an area of our hair that we are always touching, brushing, picking at, and otherwise abusing in some way. Here are some ideas of what you can do to help keep a healthy hair line:
Try to leave your hairline alone. This is really hard to do because this is the first aspect of our hair that we see. Try wearing a stocking headband more often while you try to see if you can let it grow out. However, be careful because sometimes the friction from scarves or headbands can also cause breakage. Make sure the hair is protected with oil before covering it.
Get some Jamaican Black Castor oil and apply it daily. If you are wearing your hair natural you can put a little water and then put the castor oil on top of that. It makes it super soft, and the castor oil is supposed to promote growth. This might be referred to as "watering and oiling" as in after you brush your teeth and wash your face at night, then water and oil your hair. Do it in the morning too if it won't mess up your overall hair style. Do this and you will likely see results in 2 months or so. You should notice your hairline getting thicker. You can usually get the oil at an ethnic market or Jamaican store (depending on where you live, of course) or online. The oil costs about $7 for an 8oz bottle, but lasts a very long time.
Sleep with your hair covered. This is one of the general tips for taking care of our hair, but make sure that the hairline is covered in particular. If you wake up in the morning and your hairline is exposed and frazzled, you know it is been subjected to friction all night from your pillows and possibly from the scarf you were wearing. You'll know you are doing it right if you uncover your hair and your hairline is lying down flat the way you left it the night before.
If you roller set your hair, be very careful about how tightly you wrap the hair. Rollers can break off your hair too. (I know, we can't win no matter what we do!)
