How to Grow Back Lost Front Hair – What Actually Works in Africa
Let me gist you something real.
So back in 2022, my friend Ada had this full, beautiful hairline. Like, edges that were giving! You know the kind of hairline that makes even simple styles look premium. That was Ada.
But something happened.
She had this owambe to attend and decided to try a sleek frontal wig with tight braids underneath — you know, that “snatched” look. It looked nice, no doubt. But when she took it off three weeks later, her edges were gone. I’m talking about bald patches, pain, and shock. She literally cried.
That’s when her hair journey began — the journey to grow back her front hair. She tried foreign oils, random DIYs from YouTube, even the “onion and garlic” treatment someone recommended. Nothing really worked — or at least, nothing worked long term.
Then one day, an older woman in her church told her:
“Why not try what’s made for us? African products for African hair.”
That advice changed everything.
The Products That Actually Helped
She started using Soulmate African Herbal Hair Grow and Sublime Natural Intense Hair Conditioner — two Nigerian-made products with ingredients that actually target damaged, weak hair.
No hype. Just consistency and patience.
Let me break it down the way Ada did it.
Step 1: Soulmate African Herbal Hair Grow – Her Edges’ Bestfriend
Ada applied this herbal cream twice daily — morning and night. Just a little on her fingertips, gently rubbed into her hairline with a soft massage. No harsh rubbing, no combing, just love and patience.
This product works by:
- Boosting blood flow to the scalp with the gently massage
- Waking up dead or weak hair follicles
- Moisturizing and feeding the roots
After one weeks, her hairline looked less dry and flaky.
By the third week, baby hairs started showing.
By the second month, Ada had a decent front again. Nothing crazy, but visible improvement.

Step 2: Sublime Natural Intense Hair Conditioner – Her Strength Builder
Once a week (usually Saturday), Ada would wash her hair and deep-condition it using the Sublime Conditioner. She paid extra attention to her front hair. Covered it with a shower cap and left it for 20 minutes before rinsing.
The conditioner helped with:
- Strengthening the new hair
- Reducing breakage
- Making her hair softer and easier to manage
That combination — Herbal Grow + Sublime Conditioner — was all she used for her natural hair. No stress. No fake promises.

What Ada Learnt (and You Should Too)
- Tight hairstyles are a no-go
Your edges are not elastic bands. If your braids are painful, your front hair is screaming for help. - Protect your edges under wigs
Use a wig cap. Use edge protectors. Don’t let your lace glue mess up your hairline. - Massage, don’t scratch
Massaging helps blood flow and encourages growth. Scratching breaks your hair. - Be patient
Ada didn’t see results overnight. But with consistency, her hair bounced back.
Final Gist
Today, Ada’s hairline is back and even fuller than before. She doesn’t chase foreign products anymore. She simply says:
“I dey use Soulmate African Herbal Hair Grow and Sublime Conditioner. That’s what saved my edges.”
And honestly, it’s true.
So if you’re reading this and you’ve lost your front hair — whether it’s from stress, braids, wigs, or just life — there’s hope.
Try what works. Try what’s made for us. Stay consistent, stay gentle, and you’ll see the growth too.
