My Hairline is coming back slowly but surely...(pics)

[SelfStyled]

Slow and steady wins the race- nothing dramatic at all just wanted to share some progress pics of my hairline.

Some background info on me: I was diagnosed with genetic hair loss in 2007, I had relied on weaves for about 3 years before finding the hair boards. In 2007 I quit weaving cold turkey, I am not knocking weaves at all, I wish I could wear them, but they are not the protective style for me at all.

I have not experienced any dramatic length changes, but my hair is slowly getting healthier, I have been feeling very discouraged lately, but after looking at some old pictures today, I realized how far I have actually come.

All this to say- keep the spirit ladies, do not give up on your goal for healthy hair.

Okay enough words..... here are the progress pics.

Nice progress! Were you massaging them?

 

[SelfStyled]

No I actually left them alone, outside of just regular moisturizing and sealing.

that is a great improvement. My temples are thinning and it seems I'm rushing to grow them back. I should be patient like you have been & then I think I would see results. Thank you -SelfStyled for the inspiration.

[mzsophisticated26]

nice progress. I may need to go get checked out to see if that's my issue. My temples are like that and have been worse bald at one point. But when I look at my mom's, grandmother and aunts hairline they are very thin and patchy none of them wear weaves. My mom wears wigs.

Congrats on your progress!!! You did a great job.
Can I ask what happened to cause the breakage in the first place? Did you have a baby?

Good question,after the birth of my youngest (he is 6 now)- I had the worst post partum shedding, my edges never really recovered, they would grow back a little, and then fall back out. The tension from weaving did not help either. I thought I was just doomed to no edges until I found LHCF.

Don't be discouraged, you have made great progress! Strides in everything else will happen in time. Just keep doing what you are doing!

 

[wannabelong]

Keep it up, you are doing something right.

 

[YankeeCandle]

You give me hope that even people with genetic predispositions can make progress.

SelfStyled: Thank you for being so Transparent about your 'Edges'

It takes a Woman Comfortable in Her own Skin to be able to honestly share what is really going on with her.

I am sure this thread will help many of 'us' that struggle with edges, crowns,napes, etc.......Your Open-ness, Honesty and Advice on just Being "Patient" speaks Volumes.

Definitely Appreciated and an Inspiration.

Great Progress.

Thanks for Sharing.
