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.

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

Image
  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.

How to know your hair porosity

Image
Hair porosity refers to how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture. There are three main levels of porosity: low, medium, and high . To determine your hair porosity, you can use the following methods: 1. The Float Test • Take a few strands of clean, dry hair (no product or oil on it). • Fill a glass or bowl with room-temperature water. • Drop the hair strands into the water and wait 2–4 minutes. • Low porosity: Hair floats on top, as the cuticles are tightly closed and resist absorbing water. • Medium porosity: Hair slowly sinks to the middle, as it absorbs a balanced amount of water. • High porosity: Hair quickly sinks to the bottom, as it absorbs water easily due to open or damaged cuticles. 2. The Slip Test • Run your fingers up a strand of hair from the tip to the root. • Low porosity: Hair feels smooth, indicating tightly closed cuticles. • Medium porosity: Hair feels slightly textured, indicating healthy cuticles. • High porosity:...
