Hairline Damage: You are correct that trauma to your scalp, such as tight braiding, can led to receding hairline. Stop the offending practice, and over time (several months), this should improve. Nioxin shampoo, or topical Latisse (bimatoprost) (recommended for eyelash growth)' may also help.

Stop treatments: Use of Minoxidil (rogaine) may help to ease the hair loss.
