Full & Healthy Crown & Edges Challenge 2012

I'm pleased with the way my edges are starting to fill in....I did another set of flat twists away from the face and it didn't look too ridiculous. I will take pics when I take these out so I can compare to January.

I got mine from Vitacost. I can't remember how much? Maybe like $22.00 for 4 ounces?

I haven't been using it much, very sparingly.:look:

But I'll pull it out in the Fall.
 
I washed with mudwash this morning and really massaged my scalp with the mudwash. Then I massaged my scalp with the Deva Curl Heaven In Hair and baggying. My scalp feels so good. It feels clean and no itchies.
 
Have been massaging my scalp when I am doing my daily water rinse. And trying to break the habit of scratching my scalp :nono: My scalp always itches when its wet. I think the scalp massages are going to work out well.
 
I'm loving the daily water rinse massages. And my scalp feels better. But man does it still itch. I am trying to break myself of the habit of scratching my scalp. But sometimes it just itch sooo badly. :lol:

This morning I put my castor oil blend on my finger tips and gave myself a scalp massage to help get rid of the itchies.
 
Using Hairveda's Red Tea Moisturizing Hair Creme.

Just had a Relaxer (Tuesday) so I will resume all Growth Aides next week.

Will also start Visvical Hair Vitamins on Sunday. *crosses fingers*
 
Put a little HBCO/EO blend on my crown and my edges. I'm going to use the rest of this up by the end of July and then give myself a little break from the oils during my cowash test. I may still use oils but not on a schedule. Will definitely keeping doing the scalp massages under running water.

Not sure what progress I'm making but my scalp feels better.
 
I've recently stopped using gel. I only use light hold gels, but can't help but to think it could still dry out my hair. I use heavy butters for hold (around my edges) now-a-days.
 
Oiled my scalp with HBCO/eo blend with quick scalp massage. Going to try only applying oils to my scalp on DC day. But will continue to oil my edges. My scalp itches like crazy so need to narrow down if its the shampoo, conditioner, leave-in or the oil.
 
I added my stinky stuff , copper peptide, naturelle GO, and some Glover palmate to my crown and edges. Massaged it in and bunned it up.
 
I'm no longer using Biotin Creme. My skin has become sensitive to it for some reason. I will focus on jbco and watering my edges.
 
Deva Curls Heaven in Hair conditioner suggests rubbing it into the scalp for dehydrated scalps. So rubbed some in and now sitting under my heat cap for 30 minutes.
 
Every time I see the flyaways or feel the short hairs on my crown I get upset. My crown has seriously become my trouble spot. The hair there is a bit different from the rest in that it is very soft, super fine, and very easy to break off which is what happened over time. :cry3: It is now growing in which should make me happy but it has only made me notice the damage done even more since the hair likes to stick out of my braids. :angry2: I need to search through the fine hair threads to see how to properly care for this type of hair because so far I have been failing. :perplexed
 
i can't really tell if my crown is thickening. i think its impervious to everything. I'm still doing mix of MN and JBCO and garlic oil. Considering adding MSM to my diet.

Sorry your hair is/has broken off. I had similar breakage but my hair certainly wasn't soft in that area :nono:

Hope you find some types of answers. Continue to baby your hair and hopefully it will come around. :bighug:
 
Not doing anything to my scalp at the moment. I am cowashing every day. I'm not oiling it or using Tresemme Naturals and my scalp feels really good. I think the water massages are helping as well.

I will use the last of my HBCO tonight when I DC. I'm going to continue cowashing and see how that does.

Meritamen what have you been doing for that section so far?
 
So far I've been making progress with my edges by using HTGE w/ heaping tsp sulfur. But on either side I have a really short section near my temples, it's not as good as it could be, but it's better than it was :yep:.
