Re-claiming my Edges...

Hey ladies So I need some input. As you can probably tell from my avatar, while i'm loving my hair overall, my edges need WORK lol. (distracted hairdressers and quickweave glue do NOT mix [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] ) aaannyways, I'm using castor oil on its own every few days as well as castor oil in my henna treatments to try to bring them back, for those of you who have dealt with thin edges, how long was it before you started seeing some results? Any suggestions for products that may work better? Let me know

my edges on get thin when i have braids. i have kinky twist in my hair now and i dont really expect alot of breakage becuz these are so light n fluffy. when i experience thin edges i keep em moisturized with oils (ur doin good w/castor) and dont stress em. basically just let em be! dont brush em down/back and you should see results soon enuff!

when i bc'd i had one side of thin edges and i just kept it simple and they grew back within a few wks!

My hairline has been obliterated from years of relaxers and certain hairstyles (tight ponytails and weaves in particular). I've been using castor oil by itself almost every day for the past two months and saw results within a week. Since my edges suffered so much damage over so many years, it's doubtful whether they'll ever fully come back. A dermatologist I went to several years ago regarding the problem told me this (I still relaxed occasionally then [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] , stupid me). My edges are still thin and it may take a couple of years before they are fully back, if then. But right now, I have some fuzz, which is an improvement over two months, when I was literally bald.

i have the same issue from perms in the past but i may try cuttin gmy edges to let them grow out

I TOTALLY CONCUR!! That is what helped me to grow back my edges

Cutting your edges will help them grow, please share with me how that works?

when you apply your CO or JBCO massage that into your hair. This will help blood flow to these areas and stimulate growth.

Thank you so much!!!

I used good old Jamaican Black Castor Oil and low manipulation for 5 months, that did the trick for me. After 5 months of this I did finally notice the growth was coming back.

I think I read something about using a tingling product too, like something with mint in it (sorry I forgot) but I know it's suppose to tingle and it's all natural.
