How do I grow slow growing areas?

[berry87]

OF my head. The nape grows sooooo slow in for weeks i'll get and 1/2- 1 inch of new growth(depending on the consistency of my vitamins) everwhere else, and i'll only get 1/4 inch or so in the back/nape area. I've tried peppermint oil, scalp massages and its the same. When i was natural (and in braids i didnt really have this problem). I also stetch my relaxer from the usual 8 weeks to 10-12 weeks! What else can i do??? Should i try longer stretches?? BTW That area is the thinnest
My 1yr anniversary is in 3 months (although the time below says otherwise) and i really wanna be at shoulder length!!! Waht do i doooo?

Can you massage/stimulate the area every day? How about daily cowashes paying attention to that area?

You could also try not relaxing that area as often or not leaving the relaxer on your nape as long. HTH

thanks ladies for the replies!

I think i'll stretch a lil longer than 10-12 weeks and i'll ask my stylist to relax the crown area then the nape

i relax the nape last. most of my hair is at the top, so I start there first.

also, between relaxers, you might want to look into using follicle boosting products. I use Nexxus Biotin creme, which has been a blessing to my temples. But many people rave about Nioxin follicle booster.
