Prevention
- At night, protect your hair from rubbing against cotton sheets and breaking by wearing a silk scarf or investing in a silk pillow.
- Avoid hairstyles that pull your hairline, like a tight ponytail, bun or braids.
- When relaxing hair, wash it thoroughly to get rid of all the chemicals.
- Don’t use excessive heat or gels that contain too much alcohol as this can lead to hair breakage.
- Keep your cleanser or toner away from your hairline - the alcohol in these products can be damaging.
- Live a healthy lifestyle and eat food rich in protein to promote hair growth.
- No matter how much you spend on your weave, you should remove it after 12 weeks.

Cosmetic fixes
Scalp microblading: Brow microblading has become a popular solution for filling out thin brows and now obscuring thinning areas on the hairline can be done by replicating hair strands.
Scalp microblading or micropigmentation creates the illusion of depth and shadow by adding strokes of pigment matched to the person’s hair colour. If you’re interested in finding out more, contact Permanent Makeup Professional
