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

I really think you will be able to. And can't wait to see the pictures.

I really didn't think castor oil on my edges was going to do anything. I was quite surprised to see them filling in so easily.
 
Lorks I haven't been updating with this challenge. I'm sure I've had some progress. I'm on vacation now but when I get home and on my PC I'll update.

Been using hair trigger for 6 days now and I really like it. Also taking new hair vits ( country life maxi hair) so I'm pretty hopeful that I'll see some more progress over the next 3 months.
 
I guess I should send out a request for updates more regulary. I will wait until June. That will give those that slacked off another 6 months to refocus. :yep:
 
Oiled my scalp with coffee castor oil blend and gave myself a nice scalp massage. Prepooed with 3 plastic caps and let it sit for 45 minutes

My crown is definitely thickening up and healing. Last year this time, my scalp would have been sensitive and sore when trying to massage it. Now it feels like the rest of my scalp.

I will continue with the weekly castor oil scalp massages until the end of the year or until I run out of castor oil.

Can't wait to see my update pics at the end of June :yep:
 
I'm thankful to this thread. I'm trying to convince a family member that there are things she can try while still wearing wigs to help grow her hair back.
 
I want in

1. Describe the current state of your crown and/or edges.
Edges and nape damaged short growing back from chemical damage
2. What is your initial plan to start restoring these areas?
Let my hair rest min manipulation wigs until I can afford to get braided sulfur and Casot oil as growth aid drinking water and sticking to my vitamin
3. What products do you plan on using?
Conditioner infusium 23 growth aids
4. These areas need to be loved regularly. How often will you check in with us?
Monthly but probably no photos every month
5. Are you willing to commit to yourself and to support your fellow LHCF sisters?
Yes I do

Just posted pics in my fotki :( I'm recovering from dye damage so my hair is a mess but I have high hopes for 12/31/12
 
Can you guys tell a difference? I can take a better after pic. Man I hate my laptop crashed all of my pics are in it. I just stumbled on this one thankfully.

My hair is in a few large twists in both pics.

I just started last week, but I am really liking the Combo of the Mega Tek, Sealed in with Trigger.:yep:

I wish I would have thought of this Combo weeks ago.:ohwell:

My M-T has just been sitting here and I think Trigger will help give me that additional "Boost"

Thanks!!! I still have a long way to go for them to be completely filled in but I've just noticed I can do a little more with my hair lately. I've been doing tea rinses/pastes weekly. And only washing with the clay shampoo.

Oh and what's tigger?

Man! I'm so happy I have those previous starting pics! And can you believe it my hair is actually shorter than that now. Ole girl really chopped off my hair. Oh well. It was probably some stress involved. But also that bad relaxer, etc.

Anyway, my hair is kinda back ....or tryna get back to normal. I've still never had it this short. But I can at least do my rollersets and get the small rollers in the back. It's just that I have to use small rollers on the sides and a few in the crown. Never had to do that. I need to get back where I had the XL rollers on the sides and back! Anyway. As long as I'm back w/ my regimen I'm good. I'll do a retouch this weekend. No old relaxer and just to texlax.

On my edges I'm using Jam and actually they've filled in pretty good. I'll take another starting pic this weekend.

Here goes :) So it's this, the SL, the rollerset, and the 12 inches in 12mth challenge! I'm ready to go. It's still 8mths left in the year so let's get it!

Well keep up your positive attitude and you will be in those XL rollers in no time.
 
Checking in, my crown has actually filled in a bit. When this challenge first started you could actually feel little bald patches, now I can't really feel any. Only problem is it still much thinner and shorter then the rest of my hair and becomes noticeable when wearing natural styles. I hate you patch!!!

I'm going still stick to using my sulfur, EOs, and Castor mix on it.
 
Staying on top on my edges. I moisturize 2x a day. Not sure if I've made progress but I'm going to keep at it until the end of the year and then do a comparison shot.
 
Thanks for posting ladies. It encouraged me to oil my edges this morning with HBCO. I am going to apply it to the front 2" of my hair to help it fill in a bit more. I add a little water to it to help it go on a little better.
 
I massaged my sulfur oil into my scalp and concentrated on my edges. So far, my baby hair looks longer, but not like the area is getting thicker. Who knows... it's only been about two weeks and I like the focused attention I'm giving it now.
 
I think I may be oiling my edges with HBCO 2x a day. By the evening I can't remember whether I have done it in the morning :nono: But it obviously doesn't mind the extra because I can't tell its been done. I am starting to see more fuzzies at my temples. It's filling in but I hope it grows long as well so I can blend it with the rest of my hair.
 
Ive been lurking from the sidelines. I need this challenge in my life. Lol I've been massaging edges & crown with hair trigger, emu oil & onion n garlic oil 2x a day.
I spritz my scalp w/ a tea I mixed.
Horsetail, nettle,thyme,saw palmetto seeds, hibiscus flowers is what I can remember. I brew,seep then put herbs & tea in spray bottle. My scalp pulsates after massing them in. lov it.
 
Every time I see this thread I want to oil and massage my edges. lol I'll opt out tonight since I did it twice yesterday.
