Growing my edges with NOW Solutions Castor oil




Today, I was styling my hair for a new style: Curly Fro with a Pompadour and noticed something.....

     my Edges were Thinning!

How did that happen?  Well... for the past couple of weeks, I have not been really kind to  my edges. I have gelled it... twisted it a little tighter than usual... and I think maybe not constantly keeping it moisturized as I used to might have been the culprit.

When I was three months into my transitioning journey, I used Jamaican Black Castor Oil to grow my edges in one month. Since then, I have been using NOW Solutions Castor Oil mixed with other oils as my oil mix and leave in conditioner for the girls.  Several times I have been asked which is better, JBCO or NOW Solutions Castor Oil? I know how well JBCO worked for me (click here to see), but didn't know if NOW will do the same.


So... for the next 4 weeks, I will be applying the NOW Solutions Castor Oil to my edges once a day in the morning and will report back with results.


Do you use NOW Solutions Castor Oil? Have you used JBCO in the past? Share your experience.

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut

How to get rid of split ends in Natural Hair

  @breezyspuffs (IG) Getting rid of split ends in natural hair involves a combination of good hair care practices and regular maintenance. Here are some effective ways to manage and reduce split ends: 1. Trim Regularly • Schedule Regular Trims : Every 8-12 weeks, visit a professional stylist or trim your hair at home with sharp hair-cutting shears to remove split ends. • Search and Destroy Method : If you prefer not to cut your hair often, this method involves trimming individual split ends as you spot them. 2. Moisturize Your Hair • Use a Deep Conditioner : Regular deep conditioning helps retain moisture, making hair less prone to splitting. • Leave-in Conditioner : Apply a leave-in conditioner after washing to maintain hydration throughout the day. 3.
