Progressing yet experiencing a setback

[moriahar]

Ever since I experienced some hair trauma late late March I have been trying low manipulation hairstyles. The spot that had sever damage has grown back and I am finally noticing that I am retaining length. Now here's the kicker! MY EDGES! They are thinning/receeding. This happened before but I dont remember what I did to grow them back. For my low mani hairstyle, Ive been rocking a foney pony making sure it isn't too tight and that i change the location often. I wear my hair in its natural state for the most part so that it blends with my Bobraz pony tail. IDK what to do. Im very deep into my transition and almost 5 months preggo<does that cause hair loss at the temples>. Suggestions plz

Its the pony tail even with low tension its still manipulation for an already weak area of your hair.
Hope you find another protective style. Maybe a full weave in a bob style w/ bangs that will cover the edges. That way you can just baby them.

I hope you find the cause of your hair loss. Like the poster above said, it could be from pulling your hair back. Or it could be the pregnancy hormones. Just like pregnancy hormones can make your hair grow, they can also cause hair loss in some.

In the meantime, I'd try Sulfur 8 to bring your hairline back. It worked wonders for my hairline when mine was thinned out from a relaxer.

Good luck!
