Full & Healthy Crown & Edges Challenge 2012

It has really helped switching from the Double-Tied Durag to a Netted Wig Cap.

And it has also helped switching from the Double-Tied Silk Scarve (at night) to a Satin Cap.

These two changes have been a Major improvement and took the pressure off my sides from tying those 2 things too tightly and causing damage.

:blush:I just wish I would have realized this a couple of months ago.:nono:
 
IDareT'sHair I hope my new bonnet is helping. I still have a satin scarf tied around my edges (not as tightly as previously) because I'm paranoid about the elastic (although it is encased in satin.)
 
I am more and more pleased with the filling in of my edges. I plan on putting in twist this weekend. It will let me see how thin my front is. I think I am ready to move from filling in my edges to just thickening my hair in general. :yay:
 
Just massaged some castor oil into my edges. I covered them with a satin scarf like one would for a headband, and then I put my bonnet on.

I personally don't think it smells 'bad'. I think it smells like Coca-Cola or something. Hard to describe.

But I am not paying $4.50 extra to have it scented.

Howver, those that have, love the scented ones though.
 
Massaged some HBCO into my edges. I am back in twists so will do the full head treatment once a week prior to my wash day.
 
I used my growth oil for the 1st time in a long time yesterday before a wash. I oiled my scalp then baggied and ran on the treadmill for 30 mins then I did my full wash regimen. Clarify, PC, DC (with heat, what a treat!) ponytail.

I haven't had any type of scalp soreness for my last 2 cycles. I've been ignoring my hair and just doing the basics of M & S. I've had to force myself to DC lately. I always get lazy as soon as my hair starts to do well. But I am being mindfull this time around so we'll see.
 
Thinking about doing a little Hair Trigger + Mega Tek Combo on that area I'm having problems with. (Just as a little experiment).

I'll try to do it for the next 2-3 weeks 2x a day. Using a 'pinch' of Mega-Tek underneath the Hair Trigger.
 
I added my Hair Trigger and pomade to my crown and edges after spritzing my hair until it was moist.

I just sealed the ends of my twists and massaged my hairline with castor oil. I want a thick and full hairline like the rest of you ladies. :yep:
 
I think I am becoming addicted to oiling my edges. When I read the previous post I wanted to go oil my edges. But then I thought, hmm, didn't you already oil your edges?

Well tomorrow is another day. This weekend I am going to find an opportunity to massage my scalp with castor oil and give myself a HOT.
 
I'm faithful to this challenge cause like everyone else, I want a thick/full hairline. I really want to wear my hair back without my scalp showing :perplexed
