I bought biotin pills today (300 mcg). 2 tabs 3 times a day. I was looking for 500 mcg but the pharmacist suggested the lower dose to start with. I also read up on biotin and it seems washing hair with dark beer which has a significant amount of biotin is also a good idea. Has anyone tried this before?
I hope combining the biotin and Omega 369 with my oil mix and low manipulation will provide a growth boost!

Ok, does anyone imagine they're losing more hair? I looked in the mirror tonight and it looked like a lot more hair was gone. Maybe it just looks a 100 times magnified now cos I'm paying so much attention to it. So annoying....;(

Yes I do. To counter that I take pictures at regular intervals so I can be sure. Usually, the pictures confirm that I am just antsy.
Hopefully it is just that you are paying too much attention to it.

Added my stinky stuff and copper peptide to my crown and edges this morning and tonight. Did my usual massage to get it in and braided it up for the night.

Just used JBCO throughout my scalp and I'm now under a baggy. I tried banding but I did not like how 'raw' feeling it left my scalp, so I put on some JBCo and a little hair butter with tea tree oil to soothe it. I've come too far with these edges to lose them again.

I am now watering my edges several times a day. I spritz w/water- castor oil mix and seal w/jbco 2x. And when I get my hands under water, I run them through my edges and massage. I am also using Nexxus Biotin Creme 2x a day. This is some intense edge & crown therapy!

Been oyin dewing my nape. Been qhemetting my edges. Sealing both with jbco or unpetroleum. Found my Rosemary hair oil. I will start using it this weekend.
My nape is so much better. I really messed up by using cotton scarfs and tying the knot in the same place. It has grown in a lot.

I'm commenting because I've been using Jamaican Black Castor Oil on my edges for approximately one month and while it does not look like it's growing the hair in that region looks blacker. I will know in another 2 months whether the hair in that region is growing. One think I can say for sure, it is not getting worst.
Background on my hair: I've been wearing box braids for 2 years and 7 months and my edges did not grow an inch. It stayed at the same length the entire time. I have another 2 weeks before I texturize and I will continue to use the castor oil to see if it improves.
