How do you like the hair trigger? I just received some and used it for the first time last night. I love the smell (vanilla pound cake!) but I want to know how it' works. Tia!

I can't wait to do my picture updates but I need to get my hair out of the protective style to see a difference in my edges, my edges are definitely filling up thoughl.

@naturalfinally

I love it! :lick: ........:love::love::love:

I've been using it about 2 1/2 weeks. I had to stop last week because I was getting a T/U/ and you hafta' wait 48 hours before & after.:ohwell:

Right now, it's my Favorite (Growth Aid) Product. I figured, I could eliminate any other Oils I was using and just use this one product.

I especially love it because it doesn't contain 'Sulfur' which can be very drying. And it smells decent.

So, purchasing Hair Trigger makes it cost-effective for me and reduces Shipping because I won't be buying different stuff from multiple vendors and paying multiple shipping.

So, I will eliminate:

Camille Rose Growth Oil
Claudie Scalp Exlir
Tiiva Growth Oil
Strong Roots Pimento
*and any other growth oil I have/had in my stash*:look:

I will keep the Blends which are not necessarily Growth Oils, but more for Sealing like:

Marie Dean Argan Oil Blend
JBCO *still trying to decide*
Hairveda Cocosta, HV Ayosoya
Hydratherma Naturals Growth Oil

*I stumbled on some YT Videos Sunday & watched them and it got very good reviews.*

@faithVA

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah, it's going to help me cut down on buyin' & tryin' a bunch of different oils. And NO Multiple Shipping Costs *YAY*:grin:

Smell Pleasant, Non-Drying. I am very pleased with it both in Scent & Performance.

It's a tad lighter than JBCO and so far, it's been very nice.:yep:

Originally, Lita posted about it (lots) in the HOTs Thread and we jumped on it.:lol:
 
Starting April I will switch up my castor oil application to only 2x a week. 1x mid week and then 1x on the weekend. If I can introduce cowashes mid-week, I will do it before each wash by applying the oil, massaging it in, sitting under my heat cap and then washing. We will see how that works.

But I will focus more on my edges. I bought some JBCO and HBCO, I will start applying that straight on my edges in April. Then I will be able to fully see how that works from April to June.

I don't know if I can see the difference in my scalp but my scalp feels better. It doesn't itch and it doesn't burn. And those two are major. :yep:
 
Massaged in Hair Trigger :love: this a.m. & this evening

I am also taking Nioxin (again). I may try to take it all summer.

I stopped this Winter and went back on Andrew Lessman Hair, Skin & Nails because I already had several bottles in my stash of both Andrew Lessman & Nioxin.

So, I'm rotating.:yep:

faithVA, what's the difference between JBCO and HBCO? Forgive me if this is already written and I over looked it. TIA! :)

My doctor took me off of one of my HBP meds,
which I think is the culprit of me loosing alot of hair
in my crown.

I pray that a positive turn around will come from this!!

Continuing with my oil massages and keeping the hair clean!!

I don't have a clue :blush:. I saw both of them at the bss and just picked up one of each. The only thing I have seen so far is that it is castor oil from those particular locations (Jamaica vs. Haitia). I haven't read up on it enough to get you a real answer.

And since I got these at the bss, I don't even know if they are the real deal. :lol:. But I will try them anything.
 
I know all about just wanting to try anything. :) Sometimes it's like that! @FatihVa, I hope that they both work well for you. I may have to look up HBCO.
 
I've been consistently using my pound cake scented Hair Trigger an though it's too soon to know if it's working the fact that it smells so fantastic and feels so nourishing is enough to keep me consistent which is a big bonus for me!
 
Starting to see a lot of short hairs have gotten longer around my edges and the crown area. Thank goodness, even though those hairs tend to stick up making a style look old, even when I just did it, I'm still happy to see hair growing in. Started using Jason Biotin shampoo and conditioner so hopefully that will help too.
 
Have started using my Haitian Black Castor oil but just rubbing it into my edges and crown. I do think I see some progress in my edges. My crown is still thin though. Would have to have some thickness there by September.
 
Another round of oiling my edges and crown with HBCO this morning. I wish it was a little thinner for application but I will work it.
 
I had a Crazy AHH HAAA Moment this weekend.:look:

You know how I've been telling you all, how I encountered some 'breakage' from where I was double-tying my Du-Rag too tightly up under my Wig?

Well, I just realize *face palm* I tie my Scarf at night the exact same way.:nono:

I felt like the Class Dunce.:lol:....:blush:

So, I went out and got some Satin Caps and turned them elastic-side out.

I can't beweave I didn't catch this sooner.:rolleyes:

Your funny :lol: I hope that discovery makes a difference in your hair. Let us know.
 
If I can remember where my camera is, I will try to take some pictures of my edges this weekend. I swear my edges look a little fuller.

i had the same thing happen to me with the satin caps. i went two weeks without the cap my hair and and my edges started growing in. i bought a satin wrap treated with something and aloe vera that is supposed to keep hair conditioned from walmart. hopefully it wont take my edges out. i have worn it once. i plan to use it every other night.
