Hi V,

From what you have described, I have a strong feeling that your hair is suffering from alopecia, due to your front hair being pulled too tightly over a long period. But I cannot see the picture of your front hair to really determine.

If it is alopecia, then there is no treatment to treat alopecia. Over time, the hair would grow out itself, it might take like 1 to 2 years. But if you want that to happen, you would have to stop braiding, using extensions or any other thing that would be used as an attachment. If you do not do this, your hairline would keep receding, and the lost part won't regrow. If you are too concerned about people seeing your real hair, you can invest in wigs. The main thing is that you let your hair rest for a long time.

If you decide that you would let your hair rest, then always rub a mixture of castor oil and olive oil on your edges. Castor oil helps strengthen weak strands, especially around edges, so you don't lose the ones you already have.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Regards
