I did add some neutral protein filler to various conditioners to pump up my DC's and I added it to my hempseed mix for the strength as well.

@naturalfinally

I have this too.:lol:

I usually spritz my previously relaxed hair with it, before I get a Relaxer. In case of overlapping.

A former Member tried to get me over a year ago to 'invest' in the Gallon Sized MT. Now I wish I had.:ohwell:
 
Oiled my scalp with my castor oil blend. Gave myself a nice massage. Now I'm sitting under my heat cap for 30 minutes. I have oiled my scalp 2x this week. Hopefully I will see clear results in June.
 
1. Describe the current state of your crown and/or edges.
My crown is fine. However the hair around my collarbone has broken off badly. My hairline around my ears and forehead are fine. I don't understand it.

2. What is your initial plan to start restoring these areas?
I'm going to stop flat ironing and reduce my heat usage. I am going to start wearing my hair in a bun. My sides are long enough to pull back into a bun to hide the broken spots.

3. What products do you plan on using?
Probably castor oil or QBs Castor and Moringa Serum in the back.

4. These areas need to be loved regularly. How often will you check in with us?
Probably once every two weeks.

5. Are you willing to commit to yourself and to support your fellow LHCF sisters?
Yes - I will.

I will take a starting picture soon. I'm having trouble getting the nape of my neck in the shot.

Welcome Adrienne72. Help me out here. Your hair at your crown and edges are fine. But the hair around your collarbone has broken off. Do you mend you are experiencing breakage on your ends or do you mean something else?
 
Still doing the MN/Trigger thing.

Will rotate it with all the other 50-11 things I'm rotating for that spot where tying my Du-rag completely rubbed out.:blush:

WHY didn't I catch this earlier?:nono:

It seems like as soon as I get one area under control....another area starts ackin' up.:perplexed

Thanks for letting me join. I'm sorry. Let me clarify. Basically within the last 2 months the back of my hair near my collarbone has completely broken off. So it looks like I have an asymetricial hair cut (long on the sides over my ear and short in the back). For a while my edges over my ear were broken off, but they have grown back and the back of my hair just needs to catch up so my hair is all even. Part of me wants to just cut it all off and start fresh, but I feel that I need to learn to work with what I have.

Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks.
 
Massaged sulfur oil into my hairline. I'm installing big twists at the moment, so I won't be putting that extra tension on my edges with buns like I did last week.

I think I understand. I think you may be a better fit in the Luscious Ends Challenge. This challenge is for people who are experiencing thinning or missing hair in their crown or their edges. You are welcomed to stay but I don't think this challenge is what you are looking for.
 
Just rinsed out an over night henna and beet juice treatment. Now I'm DC'ing with a mix of conditioners under my Hot Head heat cap. I'll steam in 30 minutes.

@faithVA :lol:

Gurl........errtime I think about it I get mad. :censored:

Double-Tying those long strings too tight :nono:

Before I realized it, the damage was done.:ohwell:

Now, I'm OD'ing on Growth Aides on that area.:spinning:

I had bought a box of 15. I ended up giving them to my brother.:perplexed
 
My crown continues to thrive. Pain and discomfort is completely gone and the new hair no longer breaks. I'm not doing much with my hair and its working for us.
 
When I pull my hair up in the back, I realize how little density I have in the back. It's amazing because I always thought my hair was so thick. :ohwell:
 
1. Describe the current state of your crown and/or edges. My crown is fine. I have two bald spots on my edges. 1 on the left and 1 on the right. The right side is really quite awful. The hair in those regions have always been a tad wispy but now they're just awful. Someone put in really tight cornrows in Feb and instead of taking it out, I bore the tightness. Fast forward to end of March when I took them down. The wispy hair came down as well. :cry3:.

2. What is your initial plan to start restoring these areas? Massage the scalp every 2 days. Massage the bald spots ever evening and apply the oil mix every morning as well.

3. What products do you plan on using?I was using ORS temple balm initially but the reviews made me nervous so I stopped and switched to a mix of coconut oil, olive oil, argan oil, JBCO, peppermint & tea tree EO. I'm considering switching to a mix of JBCO and emu oil only with EOs. I take omega 3,6,9 supplements with flax, borage and fish oils.

4. These areas need to be loved regularly. How often will you check in with us? Probably at the end of every month. Any shorter than that and I'll drive myself crazy looking for hair on the bald spots.

5. Are you willing to commit to yourself and to support your fellow LHCF sisters?I sure am!
 
Still using M/N and a Growth Aide on my problem area(s).

I also incorporated DC'ing with Mega-Tek every other week focusing on that area as well but applying all over for about an hour and then Steam with something Moisturizing. *tonight Darcy's Botanicals DC'er*:lick:

I read in another Thread that the makers of OCT & MT suggested that you should DC with it for several hours or overnight at least 1 per month.

I don't rest well with product in my hair, so Imma do the MT Rx for 1-several hours.

One Saturday (when I have time), I will leave it on most of the day and DC afterwards.
