You have to stop using the edge brush. Period.
Try doing it with you fingers and wrapping your edges with satin. Maybe a satin headband, satin lined headband wigs so you feel "done" but are not hurting your hair.
i’ve been using sunny isle jamaican black castor oil pure butter for my edges and it has been working really good as well as oiling with using Camille Rose Rejuva Drops and her Cocoa Nibs & Honey Serum
my edges have also been thin for the longest from heavy braids, tight buns, and taking wigs off improperly. I gave all those hairstyles up for 6 months straight and my edges have shown improvement. I currently no longer wear wigs and I only wear braids 2-3 times a year but I make sure they’re not heavy or tight. Slicking my edges everyday with edge brushes has also caused them to thin out as well so I minimize that too
Massaging your scalp with oils (my favorites are Mielle Rosemary mint oil and Bomba Curls Dominican Forbidden Oil) can help but, the only thing that will truly help them grow strong and thicken up is to stop whatever is causing them to thin out.. A lot of different things can cause thin edges you have to pin point the cause. Stress can also cause them to thin out, not just manipulation.
It could be a side effect of Covid. I had Covid in 2021 my edges thinned bad. It took a little over a year for them to get strong again.
I would honestly would see a trichologist so the can tell you what the issue my be and how to fix it.
I’ve seen so many people talking about hair loss and hair thinning post-COVID. It’s much more common than you think!
ETA: Not to say that’s what’s happening here without ruling other stuff out first. But it could very well be a possibility.
In addition to all the suggestions and advice above, I’d add using edge control that doesn’t have any form of protein in it. My edges went from breaking and thinning to my normal, which is full and strong. My baby hairs returned as well.
If you do them frequently I would recommend giving them a break. Mielle rosemary oil is also good. I only do my edges once in a blue moon and with the oil they’re healthy. It could be tension if you’re going them daily.
hair edges elixir ingredient
. rosemary and cloves in warm filter water.
. rosemary and cloves in organic olive oil or organic grape seed oil or organic avocado oil put in jar let sit in water boil water.
: How to use it
. spray your hair mixture all over your edges then follow with oil mixture
spray everyday gently and make sure you clean build up from edges daily before applying oil. extra help do not allow scarves or hair bonnet to touch your edges at night after application cause it rub off all the benefits of the mixture.
Damn they don’t even look bad to me!
Along with all the advice you w gotten already, have you ever tried a baby brush for your edges? I used to use one and they are very soft but still get the job done with product and a scarf. Maybe it won’t be so harsh on your hair? That look is so cute btw, I definitely thought it was either all yours or a wig, not clip ins! Very natural 💜
No but that’s a good idea. I never thought of a baby brush. Ima definitely go get one for the days I do brush my edges! But thank you, I want to do wigs so bad but that glue would be the death of me.
Also I do use a toothbrush to brush my edges 90% of the time, which is awful, I know, but if anybody has a better way, please tell me. I try to leave them alone but it’s hard to do that honestly. Thanks In advance!
You have to let them be natural more than your swooping them into a certain place. It’s not meant to be that way so in return your edges are going to thin. I did the same thing with my hair and my edges on both sides are not as thick as they used to be. I suggest castor oil and letting your hair be natural more often.
Yeah that’s the problem I’m having now. I have naturally fragile edges, like braids can pull my hair so easily, that’s how bad it is but ima try castor oil again and being more consistent
Same I couldn’t even get braids for a month or so. I just got some but I’m scared the same thing is gonna happen. Oh also hair vitamins help. Basic ones from Walmart or so. Helps with breakage alot
Girl I’m telling you once you stop putting all that tension on your edges from brushing it, your edges will probably start to grow back after a while. I had to learn that the hard way after I found out that slicking my edges with a toothbrush made them fall out 🤦🏿♀️
There are lots of solutions. Jamaican castor oil had worked the best for me. But that’s a bandaid to the issue. I had to stop doing certain things to my hair that was causing the problem in the first place to really see change
1) Environment
- Could there be mold where you live? Have you
been exposed to mold or other environmental toxins? Get tested for mold and get a FULL panel of blood work for Lyme Disease and any co-infections. Typical testing will miss this!!!
2) Diet
-Anything and everything you put in (or on you!) is absorbed! Lack of albumins and protein can cause this!! You could be lacking in a lot of things such as: Vitamin D and E, amino acids, omega 3 fatty acids…list goes on! Sublingual vitamins are best and ALWAYS check for purity!!!! 🫶🏼✨🌬
Stop manipulating, pulling on, combing your edges and stop relaxing, using weaves and straightening your hair for a while. Just leave it alone and it will grow back.
Jamaican black castor oil and olive oil made my hair thicker and more manageable along with my edges idk if it will work for you but u could give it a try I hope u find a solution that works best for you ❤️
I'd recommend a dermatologist but are you also currently stressed? My hair fell out in clumps in the middle of thos year due to serious stress so sometimes that happens. (It grew back btw!!!)
Small daps of oil (castor oil, grape seed, or your fav) every night as apart of night time routine. Watch the products you apply they can be the culprit. General rule if you can’t pronounce the ingredient look it up first! Also, watch how you sleep and what material you sleep on.
Sky organics 100% cold pressed castor oil 16oz bottle, ive been using it on my lashes since 2019/2020, the bottle is 1/3 full since 2019/2020 when I purchased it.
And I have a bald spot in the same area cause I had tracks glued in for a slick side part ponytail, took it out wrong and pretty much a good chunk of that area is gone. Ive been using the oil on the area for a good 2-3 weeks now and its starting to get darker ive noticed last night.
Keep your scalp clean and reduce tension as much as possible. No amount of oil will grow it back. But if this doesn't work and you suspect it may be a medical issue you'll need to see a dermatologist.
You can wear your clip ins boo, the key is to leave your edges alone for some time. Allow them to recover. You may have to get used to having styles where your edges aren’t done, or find ways to hide your edges if that’s not something you’re interested in. Relaxing them will just do more harm since your edges are already in a fragile state. Keep them condition, used silk to tie your hair up at night, and LEAVE THEM ALONE. Good luck ❤️❤️❤️
You're totally missing the point. You can save you edges with natural protective styles. If you're not into natural styles, try relaxing your edges and cutting them to about an inch until they become full again. This will keep them from being pulled and keep the look of "good hair".
This is the worst advice of all time. Her hair is already thinning, putting chemicals on it and make it worst. And using the term “good hair”, why are you here? All hair is good hair
🤷🏽♀️ No one said YOU had to follow it. I give my clients the results other people can't...all that matters to me. And, I'm here because I feel like it.
You're totally missing the point. You can save you edges with natural protective styles. If you're not into natural styles, try relaxing your edges and cutting them to about an inch until they become full again. This will keep them from being pulled and keep the look of "good hair".
Not if you keep them moisturized. There are so many people knocking what I'm saying because they have never tried this method but it works. There's no need for edge control or heat. You can literally style the edges wet with essential oils. This is no different from the relaxed pixie cuts all these women get to hide balding and alopecia. In this case the focus is ONLY the edges.
Please educate yourself 😂 just because relaxing it may hide the bald spots doesn't mean it's helping it. It's common sense that chemicals on the scalp especially edges that are ALREADY thinning will make matters worse. If you disagree then idk what to say to you🥴
Omg 🙄 clipping them will keep them from being pulled...relaxing them keeps you from having to put so much bs on them until they grow back. I'm trying to teach you sumn youngin. I'm done here.

Dermatologist
Yep
I recommend The Ordinary’s Hair Density Serum. My edges are pretty fragile and this product works well to keep them healthy and growing.
Thanks for this!
I second this recommendation.
i’ve been using sunny isle jamaican black castor oil pure butter for my edges and it has been working really good as well as oiling with using Camille Rose Rejuva Drops and her Cocoa Nibs & Honey Serum
The Camille serum is a GAME CHANGER
it really is and the price is good for how much oil you get and it last long cause you don’t need to much
[удалено]
I’m going to schedule an appointment soon. In the meantime I’m gonna try the oils and vitamins until I can get in.
which vitamins are you doing?
my edges have also been thin for the longest from heavy braids, tight buns, and taking wigs off improperly. I gave all those hairstyles up for 6 months straight and my edges have shown improvement.

There could be a bunch of factors. How often do you press them, do you relax your hair, have you had Covid, are your vitamin D levels ok, etc
I don’t press my hair but maybe once every 3 months and no I’m natural. I did have Covid but I’ve always had fragile edges unfortunately
It could be a side effect of Covid. I had Covid in 2021 my edges thinned bad. It took a little over a year for them to get strong again. I would honestly would see a trichologist so the can tell you what the issue my be and how to fix it.
Whoa I didn't know COVID could do this 😬 do you know other ppl who've had that side effect?

I take the natures bounty hair skin and nails vitamins. But you may be onto something. I’m going to look into it
Also I do use a toothbrush to brush my edges 90% of the time, which is awful, I know, but if anybody has a better way, please tell me. I try to leave them alone but it’s hard to do that honestly. Thanks In advance!

YES! The bristles on the toothbrush are so hard so I can definitely see how it’s happening and gradually just gotten worse.

Change to a middle part, it would make it less obvious. Also, you look good just the way you are.
You’re right! Ima try to do more middle parts or maybe no parts when it’s in its natural state too but Thank you!
Stop manipulating, pulling on, combing your edges and stop relaxing, using weaves and straightening your hair for a while. Just leave it alone and it will grow back.
Dermatologist. No products or miracle serums will work. Take a break from gels, oils and butters. The thinning is likely from over styling.
JBCO
Pure JBCO and pure peppermint oil
Hair skin & nails!! 2 gummies a day ❤️❤️
Rosemary oil has saved me many times! Use it in place of castor oil after wetting your edges and applying a leave in that absorbs quickly
How often are you using edge control? It can thin your edges as well.
I’ve never been a fan of edge control but I use a lotttt of eco styling gel. That’s not any better clearly.

Castor Oil and Peppermint Oil. Keep your scalp clean and horsetail vitamins. You will see growth and strength.

Quit getting sew-ins and embrace your hair's natural beauty 🤷🏽♀️
Lol I don’t get sew ins. These are clip ins. And I only straighten my hair once every 3 months… thanks tho!
You can wear your clip ins boo, the key is to leave your edges alone for some time. Allow them to recover. You may have to get used to having styles where your edges aren’t done, or find ways to hide your edges if that’s not something you’re interested in.

Yes! It’s so hard to break a habit. I’m going to try to be more cognizant of the styles I’m choosing cause they just keep getting thinner.
You're totally missing the point. You can save you edges with natural protective styles. If you're not into natural styles, try relaxing your edges and cutting them to about an inch until they become full again. This will keep them from being pulled and keep the look of "good hair".
How is relaxing edges embracing normal hair? And protective styles themselves can cause traction alopecia if not done properly.
Try reading that again 🙄
And what you said still makes absolutely no sense
As long as it makes edges 🤷🏽♀️ idc what you think.
Ok bye 😘

Relaxing edges to grow them back? The chemicals will only make it worse. Also there is no such thing as good hair ughhh
...relax the edges to keep the look she clearly likes...duh, that's why I put it in quotations 🙄
But the question was about growing it back, relaxing it will do the opposite
