Full & Healthy Crown & Edges Challenge 2012

[IDareT'sHair]

It has really helped switching from the Double-Tied Durag to a Netted Wig Cap.

And it has also helped switching from the Double-Tied Silk Scarve (at night) to a Satin Cap.

These two changes have been a Major improvement and took the pressure off my sides from tying those 2 things too tightly and causing damage.

I just wish I would have realized this a couple of months ago.

IDareT'sHair I hope my new bonnet is helping. I still have a satin scarf tied around my edges (not as tightly as previously) because I'm paranoid about the elastic (although it is encased in satin.)

I am more and more pleased with the filling in of my edges. I plan on putting in twist this weekend. It will let me see how thin my front is. I think I am ready to move from filling in my edges to just thickening my hair in general.

I still turned mine inside out. Works Great!

Just massaged some castor oil into my edges. I covered them with a satin scarf like one would for a headband, and then I put my bonnet on.

Massaging in Hair Trigger

IDareT'sHair how does your trigger smell? I want to try it. I may buy a bottle next week.

@hair4romheaven

I personally don't think it smells 'bad'. I think it smells like Coca-Cola or something. Hard to describe.

But I am not paying $4.50 extra to have it scented.

Howver, those that have, love the scented ones though.

Massaged some HBCO into my edges. I am back in twists so will do the full head treatment once a week prior to my wash day.

I used my growth oil for the 1st time in a long time yesterday before a wash. I oiled my scalp then baggied and ran on the treadmill for 30 mins then I did my full wash regimen. Clarify, PC, DC (with heat, what a treat!) ponytail.

I haven't had any type of scalp soreness for my last 2 cycles. I've been ignoring my hair and just doing the basics of M & S. I've had to force myself to DC lately. I always get lazy as soon as my hair starts to do well. But I am being mindfull this time around so we'll see.

Thinking about doing a little Hair Trigger + Mega Tek Combo on that area I'm having problems with. (Just as a little experiment).

I'll try to do it for the next 2-3 weeks 2x a day. Using a 'pinch' of Mega-Tek underneath the Hair Trigger.

I added my Hair Trigger and pomade to my crown and edges after spritzing my hair until it was moist.

I just massaged castor and sulfur oil into my edges before tying up my twist for bed.

I think I am becoming addicted to oiling my edges. When I read the previous post I wanted to go oil my edges. But then I thought, hmm, didn't you already oil your edges?

Well tomorrow is another day. This weekend I am going to find an opportunity to massage my scalp with castor oil and give myself a HOT.

 

[faithVA]
