Grow your thinning edges back in 40 days

IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND
These tips work the best for the following hair loss situations
a. Your edges do not have bald spots. Areas void of hair. 
b. Your hair thinning, is less than a year old. 
c. Currently you are not wearing wigs, weaves or applying any type of tension to your edges. 

BALD EDGES WHICH HAVE BEEN THAT WAY A LONG TIME
If you have clean bald spots on your edges, I recommend that you make an appointment with the dermatologist. Ask the doctor for a scalp biopsy to see what is going on under the scalp. You stand a greater chance at recovering your hair when you seek treatment early. The absolute worst thing you can do for your hair loss is continue to put stress on the area by wearing extensions or using harsh chemicals. Go ahead and make that doctor's appointment. Write down everything you can think of to tell the doctor about your hair loss.

Examining bald areas for yourself, in the meantime

Get a friend to look at your scalp up close with a magnifying glass. Have them examine any bald areas. Even if no hair is there, if the follicle is still alive they should see the small hole. Ask them do they see any holes. Seeing holes is a good sign that the follicle is still alive. This gives you a great chance at recovering hairs in those holes. If no holes are present the hair follicle is most likely closed. Sometimes you will see a follicle that is partially closed. If you see some which appear to be closed make a dermatologist appointment asap. You need to know what is going on under the scalp. Medical tests are the only way to know that. 

4 SIMPLE SOLUTIONS FOR RECENT HAIR LOSS

If you have recently received the hair loss, it will be fairly easy to recover that hair. When I say recently, I mean within the last 3 months. The older the hair loss the harder the recovery.

1.  Remove all stress from the edges. Do not even use a brush or toothbrush on your edges. 
2.  Create a stimulating oil blend and massage that oil onto your scalp for ten minutes daily. 
3.  Cleanse scalp weekly and condition it daily. 
4.  Take a hair growth supplement or a multi vitamin. 

Doing those simple things, you will see your edges recover in 40 days. The main change is to immediately stop anything which appears to  take your edges out.  Your hair will recover in no time. 

Many years ago, my edges started thinning out. I was wearing a curly hair sew in, with a leave out. Daily I was brushing my edges in attempts to blend my leave out with the curly weave. After months of this treatment, my edges began to thin a lot.  I didn't notice it until I saw my edges on a picture. 

I immediately stopped using a brush and did the steps above. My edges recovered fully within a month.

Other tips to recover your edges

1. Do not use gel.
2. No type of brushing of your edges, 
3. Moisturize them daily and smooth back using your palms only.
4. At bedtime, braid or cornrow your edges going in a downward motion. Simply one braid on each side of your head, from top to the ear. 
5. Cover hair with  a satin scarf or at night
6. When you deep condition add extra product to your edges.
7. Invest in a hair growth oil. I recommend the liquid gold sulfur oil 

Best type of flat iron for Natural hair

Do titanium flat irons get the hair straighter than ceramic irons?  Should I use one on my Afro curly hair?

YES, they do get the hair straighter than ceramic flat irons. They have higher amounts of heat. 

NO! 
Not if your goal is to keep your hair healthy and wear it natural the majority of the time. 

Yes! 
If your goal is to be a straight hair natural. You are natural but you desire to wear your hair heat straightened most of the time. Titanium flat irons give you a much silkier, smoother finish than a ceramic flat iron. Expect your hair to come out straighter and require fewer passes. Choose a flat iron which has a digital heat setting so you know what temperature you are using. 

The chances of heat damage are greater with titanium plates. Keep that in mind if you choose one. 

Here are some top consumer rated titanium flat irons:

Five top reasons for chronic split ends

Split ends happen to all on occasion, however chronic split ends are not normal. You must cut a split hair. You cannot heal split ends. You can temporarily glue them together with treatments. Once hair splits, it is split. You cut it off, or it will continue to rip. 

1. No regular trim schedule
A  good hair care regimen should include a trimming schedule. You decide how often you will trim based on what you do to your hair. The Coily Queens Regimen recommends trimming your hair every 4th month. This equals three times a year. This is if you start out with totally healthy ends. When you trim you hair on a regular basis, your hair styles better and does not pop and break as much. 

HEAT STRAIGHTENING 

2. Using the wrong tools
Your ends will  split easily if you use flat irons, curling irons, blow dryers or pressing combs. Heat from these sources, dries the hair out. Because you are trying to maintain your straight style, you are not moisturizing it properly, and that dries it out even more.  Harsh direct heat also weakens the protein bonds. Your hair is made of lots of layers that protect it, heat weakens those cuticle layers. When any of those layers become weak, your hair will split and eventually break.

Using brushes and combs also weakens the hair bonds. It does it slower than harsh heat. If you use a brush even once a week, your ends will start to thin. The thinning is from the hair splitting and breaking. The end result is thin see through ends, which makes your hair hard to style. Using combs and brushes always require you to cut more inches off when it is time for your trim. The CQR recommends finger combing. Finger combing will save your hair.

3. Eat more protein
All hair is made up of mostly protein. Thus you must eat sufficient protein daily to keep the hair growing from your scalp strong. Include protein rich foods in your diet daily, foods such as: fish, nuts, beans are healthy proteins. Animal proteins build the strongest hair. Taking a hair growth supplement helps the hair to grow stronger and faster. Most of us are not getting a balanced diet daily, so supplement help to make up for diet. 

Including:  Herbal Essence, Dove, Garnier Frutics

4. Using harsh ingredients
Cheap products that include cheap ingredients, sit on your hair and weakens your hair cuticle. Yes many of them give you good immediate results. Most of them are filled with harsh cheap ingredients and silicones. You receive great results when you first use the product, but long term use only leads to dried out damaged hair. Stay away from those products, the cheap price and empty promises are not worth it. 

5. No protein treatments
You fail to include good protein treatments in your regimen on a regular basis. Many naturals, in error, feel they are protein sensitive. This is due to what they have read on hair forums. Your hair is protein so you are not sensitive to it. In most cases you have used the protein incorrectly or used the wrong protein product. Not all protein treatments are created equal. Look for a protein treatment that has hydrolyzed keratin protein in the top 5 ingredients. There are other types of proteins, but the animal proteins are the strongest. They give your hair the most strength. If you are going for beyond bra strap length, up your protein game!

BLESSINGS AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR TO YOU ALL!!!

Oiling your scalp daily makes black hair grow longer

 

Some believe that straight hair grows faster and longer, because when the sebaceous gland release sebum it is able to freely travel down the hair strand to the tip and this sebum lubricates and moisturizes the hair and keeps it from breaking.

One theory is that Afro hair, because the hair follicle is shaped curvy and our hair grows out in a spiral coil, that the sebum when released has a problem traveling down the hair strand to moisturize the hair. So the very nature of Afro hair is dry because of this and this is what keeps us from achieving as long lengths as those with straight hair. I do not necessarily agree with this theory, because Father God does not make any mistakes and He made our coily hair and it works just fine. I think it is more so geographic and some other things but that I will save for another forum discussion.

So let me go with the theory that sebum has an problem traveling down our hair shaft. If this is true then one way to make your hair reach greater lengths is by oiling your scalp daily. I do know from experience that this makes a HUGE difference in your hair. So I guess growing up our parents had it half way right, with the oiling the hair practice, but we were just using the wrong product.

I started oiling my scalp daily as an experiment and I was pleasantly surprised to find that my hair did not shed, has no ssks and is just overall easier to manage. I have also noticed my hair grows much faster. So if you are looking for a solution to some of your hair issues, start today with oiling your scalp/hair daily. This only works if you use natural oils such as: extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, grapeseed oil or castor oil. Using natural oils will keep you from getting a buildup on your scalp. When you use oils that penetrate, not only is it feeding your hair roots but it is not clogging your hair follicles. 

If you are experiencing extra shedding, tangles, dry scalp or slow growth, I recommend to try oiling your scalp daily as an experiment for the next 30 days and keep a hair diary of how your hair reacts and which oil you opted to use.
