Traction Alopecia on Temples

Alexandra73
I have been braiding my hair for many years. I want to stop & have my natural hair but I now only use the braids to cover my bald spots.The scalp is very soft to the touch. What can I do? can the hair grow back? are there any products I can purchase to help or will I need hair transplants? thank you
