[amwcah]

I'm massaging now. I think I'm going to pick up some peppermint oil from my local Vitamin Shoppee.

 

[tressajalen]

I just got my order of cocasta oil from hairveda. It claims to thicken. I will use it for few weeks and see. It feels different from any other oil I have ever used. Anyone tried it?

 

[Mz.Shug]

Just wanted to check in. I've been alternating between OCT and MT every night, massaging and sleeping in my satin bonnet. I can't wait to see results! Patience Patience.

 

[Lanea87]

About to put NTM on my nape area now.....

 

[pringe]

I'm in! started doing this anyway because my edges are a mess!!!!!

“I will apply Peppermint Oil to my Edges & front perimeter of hair and massage my scalp for 5-10 min nightly. I will cover my nape/edges and will choose protective styles such as twists, individual braids on my own hair and wigs to protect my edges"


Will post pics in a week so u can see the damage better.

 

[WaistLengthDreams]

when does this challenge start?

 

[SistaSista]

I'm still hanging in there. I definitely like the coconut oil much better than the castor oil. I don't mind asuch now having to apply it every night.

 

[purplepeace79]

Ive been keeping my edges moist while in braids. I definitely can tell they feel stronger now that I pay attention to them. When I take down my braids, I'm going to be extra careful not to tug and pull around the edges area.

I would love to join this challenge. What is the best thing to use for the edges? I have some MTG, and megatek but not sure of the best way to use them? Is Olive oil better/ I saw that some use olive and something else (can't remember) . My edges are in bad, bad shape

Thanks

Hello, Welcome!
With regard to the edges, a lot of people use castor oil, a growth oil mix, or a "growth" cream, then seal with the oil. If you can take the protein, a lot of people apply Megatek to the scalp. Others have also found successes when mixing the carrier oil with an essential oil (e.g. rosemary, peppermint, etc.), but you have to be careful with those too. If you look at the bottom of the first post of this thread, I've listed about 4-5 ladies who have had successes in growing out their edges or napes, and posted a link to their stories.

Thanks ladies

I've only used JBCO, so I can't say, but I've read threads where ladies have used both, and I haven't seen an overwhelming preference for either one. So, I think as long as it's cold pressed castor oil, or JBCO, you should be fine. Again, do a search for threads on castor oil, and read the reviews.

Ok ladies Ifeeling challenged today How do I upload my pics and list my challenges on all of my post?
TIA
