Hi and Welcome to the board!!!! I'm not natural and I'm sure more ladies will chime in to help you with your journey. I've seen ladies on the board talk about massaging castor oil into their edges to help stimulate and thicken them up....HTH

I see from the last picture that the thinning around the edges is pretty serious. I can't tell you anything about what you should do for 3c virgin hair. However, I have seen progress for thinning hair with the use of Boundless Tresses and Vatika Coconut Oil. Some have also said Mega-Tek, Monostat?, and various other products. If you do not have a sensitivity to sulpher, I reccomend the Boundless Tresses.

Welcome. Nice Hair...I've been going through major hairline loss myself. Last month, my left side had no hair in the front due to the comb that I was using in my wigserplexed. I've massaging olive oil one week, MT the next and a little MN. My hairline is almost filled back in like it never dissappeared. I say first try massaging the castor oil on your edges for awhile, if that doesn't work, you should try a growth aid..Worked wonders for me in the matter of weeks. Good Luck.

Welcome!! I would definately try the castor oil/MT mix... my edges were really thin as well and they have grown in nicely... HTH

Welcome aboard!!!

I think you should try the Aphogee 2-step Keratin Reconstructor for strength.

Massage your scalp with an Indian oil it helps to grow thick hair, I'd advice you use Amla Oil a lot of people don't like the smell of it but you know what it makes your hair grow in 3weeks if used overnight plus its cheap

Use amla powder too, I can't give you much info on the powder coz I haven't used it yet.

Cloves are very well known for hair loss healing and growth properties so I'd say whatever oil you use add cloves to the oil bottle or boil it with the oil and let it cool off.


Sorry I can't give you much info into how to tame frizz since am still transitioning but hope the above tips would help
