Recently I observed that my hairline is really shedding while the other parts of my hair are growing amazingly. I went on research to find out what I am doing wrong. From my findings, wearing a tight bonnet can place a pressure on the frontline thereby causing shedding. Also I try to grap the front hair while making protective style which is very wrong.
What to do to regrow your hairline
One of the youtubers I watched her video suggest using ginger, flaxseed, onions.
The use of ginger raised a lot of argument, some people commented that ginger is harsh to the hair. I for one have not used raw ginger on my hair, although I do eat it raw and having known how spice it is, I have no doubt of it being harsh on the hair. My own take is, it could be that other hair products those using ginger incorporate into their hair regimen is overshowing the side effect of ginger hence, they can't really notice it.
According to byrdie.com, Penny James, a trichologist based in Newyork City references a study from the National Library of Medicine that discourages the use of ginger for hair growth. The study shows that 6-Gingerol inhibits hair shaft growth. According to researches 6-Gingerol is phenol phytochemical compound found in fresh ginger.

Due to this discovery, I was skeptical using the said ginger and was comfortable to use the below listed items. Moreso, with ginger you have to wash your hair after applying, but this combo is leave-in, and I can apply it upto 4 times in a week, so that makes the difference.
Clove
Bay leave
Coffee
These 3 combo, is what I am using now not only for my hairline, but time to time I apply it on my scalp and hair shaft and the result has been amazing.
