hair loss can often be the result of damaged follicles, and growing back your hairline may take time. But you can speed up this process with these healthy hacks for hair growth.
Hairstyles
Hairstyles that put too much strain on your scalp could result in traction alopecia over time, so try styles such as a slick-back undercut or medium crew cut instead.
Medications
If your hairline is receding, medications available may provide relief. Minoxidil (Rogaine) has been proven to promote hair growth in approximately 40% of those using it, giving hope to many with receding hairlines. Finasteride has long been known to stimulate new hair growth and combat male pattern baldness, possibly contributing to receding hairlines. Saw palmetto has also proven effective at stimulating new hair growth, and both treatments may benefit both men and women.
Scalp Massage
Scalp massages are an affordable, natural way to promote healthy hair growth. Not only are they painless and quickly done at home, but they also increase blood flow to the scalp and provide relaxation, reducing tension and potentially encouraging hair growth or reversing hair loss.
Essential Oils
Essential oils can be a great addition to a hair growth regimen. They stimulate scalp blood vessels, unclog follicles, and reduce shedding/breakage. When applying essential oils, mixing them with carrier or jojoba oil is important to reduce the risk of irritation.
Hairstyles
Avoid tight hairstyles and harsh treatments that may strain follicles or contribute to breakage. Consider bangs as a way to conceal a receding hairline and create the appearance of a fuller crown.
