Oh I am soo in!
My edges just look stressed and I feel I need to do something to preserve them right about now. Last night I slicked them back w/ some heavy grease and they look happy this morning. The only thing is that my style is compromised
I usually rollerset my hair at night (which I believe is why my edges are crying) and can just style quickly in the morning.
My hair isn't long enough so I can't just bun it. And I know I won't give myself enough time to do hot rollers in the morning 
Right now I'm just wearing it back w/ a headband and bumped in the back. It looks neat and for the most part my hair looks done but it's so plain. It's like I need a bang or something.

My hair is the same way. So I am not worried about them getting thick, but thicker in general. At the moment I am happy with the way they look
But I am not about to stress them out.

I didnt know it was that expensive. I got it at Vitamin shoppe or world not sure which one but I was in a rush picked up the bottle got to the register and he said $17.## I was like what the h*ll, I thought it was gonna be like $9-$10. I know this stuff better do something.

Sign me up please. I did this over the weekend:
And I don't want to B/C just yet so I gotta grow it back now lol. Little hairs sticking up all over the top of my head now. What was I thinking? Curiosity got the best of me.
Ahhh you did this out of curiosity??? Remember curiosity killed the cat...
OMG I can't believe this...it looks like a hair murder scene!

How I'm gonna talk when I haven't bought mine yet. Howeevr sometimes we say we can't afford it But we can afford to pay $17. If a pair of jeans were $17 you would buy them. It's just the bottle is small and its $17. I know I know.
This is the way I make huge hair purchase. I don't look at the price I set a budget and say OK I'm going to spend $40 on my hair this week. Then I'll buy my oils. teas, etc.

I mentioned to my doctor that I didnt like the way my edges were growing in and he prescribed something called Desonate. He said he would help revive the follicles. I put some in a small area just to see and I could feel the tingling. I will keep putting it there for about 3 weeks, thats the estimated time to see results.

It's coming along okay, I guess. I just wish it would come along faster. I ran out of the KBB Growth Serum, so I'm using the Ginger Juices N' Berries from www.lavidagivenbynature.com (it has amla & brahmi in it) along with nettle extract. I also have the Ayurvedic Herbal Infusion Oil. I think I'll give that a try after I finish the Ginger Juices N' Berries.

I was having the same problem until I got one of those satin caps with the elastic edges...when that gets too loose, I put on the satin cap and tie it down with a doo-rag...solved my prob...

Lol, I just now saw this. Hahah
Yeah, I've done a lot of similar things in my years. I remember one incident with nail glue and my fingers 
erplexedHere's my progress though. When I first posted my starting pic 2 months ago, this hair only stretched to my eyebrow. Look at where it is now. It almost fits back inside of a high ponytail/bun, yay!:
I failed at the nightly braiding... It's just too much manipulation for my fine strands. Does this disqualify me? I do make sure that I am never without a scarf at night however, and still moisturizing daily. OCT has been so good to me as you can see...

I have to withdraw from this challenge. Not because it wasn't working, but because I have decided to loc my hair, so there's no way I can braid it anymore. Sorry! 
On a more positive note, my edges have filled up nicely while I was wearing my kinky twists. I kept them on for 6 weeks and did not bother my edges at all, so they filled in nicely. Good luck everybody! I'll come by every once in a while to see your progress.

Newbie here ready and willing to take on the challenge.. so add me pls!
My edges are a mess; not particularly thin but after a year of edge and horseshoe shaped relaxing to blend in with my weaves, I have edges that are slightly thinner and notibly shorter than the rest of my hair!
Having scoured these here parts for effective growth aid recipes, ill be using a MN mix with sulphur 8, jamaican black castor oil, peppermint oil and grapeseed oil
wish you all luck!
