Full & Healthy Crown & Edges Challenge 2012

[gvin89]

Still using Claudie's...

 

[SimplyBlessed]

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!

Where did u find the nexxus biotin creme virtuenow

I thought it was discountinued

 

[afroette]

Just cowshed, going to add castor oil in a few minutes

Oh really? I had a container I stopped using a while ago. Since it was full and I am working on on my edges/crown, I figured I would use it up! If I didn't have this it would be straight jbco for the edges. ETA: I just checked amazon.com and they have new bottles for sale.

Ok, does biotin make anyone else feel quizzy? I take around 1800mcg a day as prescribed by the pharmacist.

I take 5000 and I'm okay. Well, now that you mention it sometimes I feel weird if I bring my head up after bending down. But I've been thinking it's due to a need to reduce my dosage in a prescription.

Yes that's the feeling except it stays for most of the day. It's like I'm standing still but I still feel my head moving around if that make sense. I drank more water and ate more food but it's not going away .

Just using trigger (with extra cayenne, garlic and onion) and alter ego garlic DC regularly.

 

[naturalfinally]

Ok. I rinsed out my DC and added my stinky stuff, copper peptide, Naturelle GO, minoxidil, and some hair trigger to my scalp and massaged. I added grape seed oil and my hemp seed mix to the length along with some Giovanni DL and Komaza care Califia leave in. I braided it up so that this would soak in. Next I added long aid activator gel and eco styler gel and now my hair is in a bun.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Still using M/N. Using it with whatever Growth Aide D'Jour is close.

I've decided to go every other day to see if that makes a difference. i hate that feeling!

Last night, I massaged castor oil into my hairline. I think I'm becoming obsessive over it; I'm trying to relax, but I have an overwhelming feeling of dread when I look at it.

 

[afroette]

first night of applying MN throughout my head. I might focus on my crown and sides more than other areas.

 

[discodumpling]

My crown is still doing well. For the most part I'm using only my castor evoo mix and only to moisturize my hair I only use my growth oil hrs before a shampoo. My hair is loving me lately probably cause I leave her alone to do what she do.

Vits: 1x per day nettle, saw palmetto& fish oil.

 

[faithVA]

This morning, put a little of the HBCO/EOs on my finger tips and massaged it into my crown.

hi ladies, I'm here with another update and pictures this time. Back in april i posted day 1 and day 38 progress pictures. The first two are those previously uploaded pictures as a reminder, and the last picture is today. I am still using emu oil but not as much, I've started to use castor oil daily and emu oil 3-4 times a week. I'm happy with the progress, its better than the bald spot I started with I think the pinkish areas will remain bald/thin, I have lupus and I am thinking that has more to do with it. I will see what my doctor says.

I am glad you are seeing improvements. Keep on doing what you are doing. I don't know if you will see hair in the pinkish areas but its worth giving it a try. My progress has been slow but consistent. You have had some really good progress in a short period of time. I really think you will see more and more.

I've chucked out the biotin bills. I took it during food and in addition to the dizziness, I also had headaches and considerable blurry vision. msbettyboop don't wanna grow hair THAT much. erplexed

I went back to the pharmacy and picked up a hair, skin and nails formula with biotin as part of the components. I've been using it for the last two days and I feel just fine now.

afroette, I've stopped using the bitoin. I'm using sundown naturals hair, skin and nails formula now which includes vitamin B - www.iherb.com/Sundown-Naturals-Hair-Skin-Nails-120-Caplets/32900. Do I need to be taking additional vitamin B to this as well?

 

[afroette]

msbettyboop, those pills are probably balanced

[naturalfinally]

I just added some stinky stuff and that's all. I massaged and braided it up. Just too tired tonight.

 

[faithVA]

I oiled my crown and edges with HBCO/EO oil blend. Not oiling as much since I've been cowashing.

 

[afroette]

I've switched from massaging in jbco to jbco + MN.

I am wearing a twist out today. I was sitting at my desk massaging my crown and it felt sooooo good. I can't wait to get home and oil my scalp and give myself a better massage.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Using Hairitage Hydrations "Jar Of Joe" (Coffee Creme) and M/N

 

[NappyNelle]

Massaged sulfur oil into my hairline.

 

[faithVA]

Using the Deva Curl Heaven in Hair Conditioning Treatment. The instructions say to massage it into the scalp for a dehydrated scalp. I definitely think my scalp is dehydrated. So last night I washed with the Deva Curl No Poo. I used the Heaven In Hair as a DC and rubbed it into my scalp and sat under my heat cap for 40 minutes. After I twisted up my hair I oiled my crown and edges with my castor/EO blend.

My scalp feels really good today.
