My baby hairs are growing in so wonderfully but my edges... not so well. I have so many thinning areas on my scalp that I am JUST noticing right now =( I think I need to see someone about this.

I added sulfur oil and extra castor oil to my edges for a quick massage. All of these challenge threads are keeping me and my laziness in check. By Dec, I WILL be whipping Full MBL hair.

Here's my update after getting my hair a bit back to normal. My edges are still a bit sparse but they're much better than they were...smh. I think I'll start adding some castor oil to them.

Still oiling my edges with hbco each day. My edges are filling in but I am wondering if my edges will every be long or if they will just be little soft swirls at the front. They are longer than they were. I could actually flat twist them a bit. Maybe I should start comb coiling my edges.

Last night I did a scalp massage with my sulfur oil and used HH Sprout along my hairline. I think my edges are starting to thicken up with more baby fine strands; the hair that was already there seems longer now. Of course, I'm going to keep this up.
I have to speak to my parents to check if they are having any changes using HH Sprout.

OK so I'm dropping the minoval for a bit to try out MN. Minoval was ok but it REALLY dries the hair no matter how much oil you follow it with lol. Now going to add the MN to my brahmi-bhringraj mixture (never letting that go 
), apply before bed and baggy at night to see what goes on with this MN stuff...

Made a new batch of MT, MN, and jbco for my edges. Last batch lasted me 2 months and some days, so I'm guessing this one will last me around the same time span. I'm not seeing a difference quite frankly, but 2 of my friends say my hairline is improving. Sometimes others can see better than you since they don't see you everyday, whereas I'm in the mirror looking every 2 secs for some fuzz to pop in lol. I use it twice a day. I put jbco on 1st let it set in for about 15-20 mins, then I put the batch of all 3 on top after.

I have 2 bottles of sulfur. 1 unopened and 1 barely touched. Wonder if I should add some in to my batch of cream I made.
How would you say sulfur is working on you? I used it awhile back and didn't see any improvements, but I didn't stick with it very long.

pinkness27 I think adding sulfur to your mix would be great. I am a strong sulfur supporter. 
Before this, I would grow maybe 1/4 inch every month with lots of shedding. Once my health started to improve and I worked on my regimen, I added the sulfur oil.
Here is my picture evidence:
Aug 2011 - Mar 2012 Damp Puffs
This would be normal growth for someone else, but this is 'extra' for me due to my MANY health issues. I hope sulfur works for you, too!

pinkness27 Yes girl! Get your money's worth. I've had this same bottle of Sulfur powder since 2008, and I'm finally using it regularly.
lushcoils Since January, I've been doing a short scalp massage with sulfur oil 3-4x a week while protective protective styling. Before then, (June-December) I used the sulfur oil 2-3x a week while protective styling.

Why no oil for 3 days?

I henna'd my hair Friday, so giving it 3 days to settle in. Oil causes the henna to separate from my strands. So tomorrow I should be able to get back to it.

Thanks for the information! I use oil, leave in and gel after I henna. I'll be on he look out for a decrease in strength. What do you use in the meantime?
