Thicken Up Hairline Challenge

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

Great...Welcome Ladies

I have been extremely busy over the last month or two so I haven't been updating this challenge.

Anyway, I have had good progress using the ORS hairline serum. To answer the question...I do not think that you can use it on the nape of your neck. I think this is stated in the directions on the package.

So far I think the things that have helped are:

1. I keep my hair and scalp clean. I conditioner wash 3-5 times per week and shampoo once per week usually with a clarifying shampoo.
2. I do not put my hair up into tight buns while it is wet (anymore). The wet hair dries and shrinks up making the bun even tighter. I only put wet or dry hair up very loosely.
3. I wear my scarf loosely and try to avoid friction on the hairline as much as possible.
4. I still don't brush and try to comb only while wet (About 90% of the time)
5. I wear a fall and I put the front comb in very loosely so that it doesn't pull on my hairline. I leave the back comb out so that it doesn't damage the nape.
6. I am stretching my relaxer and I think avoiding chemicals has helped.
7. I stopped braiding my hair and I think this has also helped.

I think that is everything, good luck!

I have some of this that I use once a week maybe I will apply it only to my hairline 3x's a week.

I got my best results from MTG when I used it atleast 3x/week. Anyway, I'll join. Microbraids took my edges away and I made an album in my fotki to pinpoint this. I haven't been doing anything really special but I still have some WGO and MTG so I might as well use them up.

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

I am in. I have been using surge for a few weeks. I will post how it's working for me.

I am liking the surge. This is about 6 days from my last post and I can see a difference. I will continue to use if for about 3 weeks and hope my edges fill in.

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

I am definitely in! I just started focusing on my hairline a few weeks ago. I am using a mixture of nexxus vittatrees biotin creme, emu oil, and m.n. on my scalp, concentrating on the hairline. So far I have seen some results ... hoping to see more.

I bought the nexxus vittatrees biotin creme and I'll be massaging my my hairline more often. Count me in

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

I got my trusty bottle of Surge from under the sink, threw in some black castor oil and started using this twice a day. So far the results have been good. I also started using the ORS scalp scrub , stopped brushing completely, quit tying a scarf around my edges to eliminate friction, and started making a loser bun.

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

It is time for an update!!! I have had pretty good progress and I think in after 1 or 2 more stretches my hairline should be thick and healthy. I am just glad my hair wasn't gone for good...Thank you Jesus

My left side was the worst...but it has gotten better.

Good Luck to everyone else in the Challenge...I will update in another month or two or three

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

I'm using a cortizone cream I got from my dermatologist and it's actually working to fill in my hairline. Plus I'm using the herbal/sulfur oil from Qhemet combined w/ Amla oil. So far so good. Starting at the end of August, I will start getting steroid shots around my edges to help speed up growth. But when I say, I was virtually bald around the edges, I was and now, I have HAIR, I really really do.....Thank you Dr. Callendar and LHCF

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

I'm late, but I'm game. I had braids in for about 2 months and noticed some thinning around my hairline. I'll start massaging some EO's (emu oil, almond oil, etc...) into my hairline, take vitamins, and see how it works out.

Update: I've been using MTG instead.....I apply it twice a week, and so far so good!

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

I'm in ladies! I don't know what to use. I do have an antibreakage cream by Dr. Miracle but it doesn't have any mineral oil in it ( I don't think). I'll check when I get home. My plan: make a concoction that includes peppermint oil, olive oil, almond oil, and something with sulfur in it. I'll have to do some shopping because I have NO idea what works and what doesn't work. I had the ORS temple balm before but I don't remember it doing anything special for my hairline. My hair is thin in that area and breaks easily so I need something that will make it stronger....SUGGESTIONS?

I use both Surge and Black Castor Oil by first spraying the surge, then rubbing the oil on my scalp. I want to mix them in one bottle. How much oil did you mix into the Surge? And did you pour it into a full bottle of Surge?
Thanks

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

I need and seek guidance with thickening up my hairline. I have some Surge. I have a rosemary tea/peppermint oil spritz that I use. How often should I use? Morning and night? What is MTG and should I invest in it? Where to get this from? I'm gonna do an MTG search now, but it would be nice for it to be in a centra place in this thread.

Thanks1

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

My hairline has thickened up considerably...
MTG did it...I use it everynight...On my last wash I pul a peice from my sides and it was about 3 inches( and i do mean mena my most outer edge of hair line) I was shocked.
WGO is excellent as well...But castor will do the job as well...

Hope this helps!

hi sweetie,

It is great to see you on the boards.

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

My edges are getting a tiny bit thicker; however, I think my temples are gone for good

 

[Radianthealth]

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

I hope your temples aren't gone for good Missdiva. I thought mine wouldn't get better but they have and I believe they will continue to get better. Microbraids caused my hairline to be pulled out almost a half inch back from where it should have started. I didn't wear the braids long but I did put too much stress on them when styling and putting them into ponytails. This caused some of the braids, especially the ones on the hairline to pull out from the root

Keep working on it, wear very loose ponytails and baby those edges. Wear your satin scarf low on your head so that it doesn't irritate your hairline, and don't pull the hair back in a tight ponytail while wet.

Now that I am focused on thickening up my hairline...I think I am a little obsessed with looking at people's hairline...for the most part this seems to be a pretty common problem especially for us ladies with thin strands.

Good Luck everyone!!! Hopefully we will all reach our goals

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

Thanks Trimbride, I've been trying to grow my edges for a couple of years now. I'm a victim of tight braids (micros and regular braids) I wore braids for years and they use to always take my edges out. The last set of micros I had literally took all of my edges out. Thankfully they grew back; however I still have some damaged patches and the temples and not budging.

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

I've only been using the MTG for about 3 weeks, but there is a noticeable diff. in my hairline- MTG works! I've also started taking GNC's Ultranourishhair vits...I'll keep y'all posted.

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

I have been researching and experimenting with a cream that I made up.

I used to use MTG for a while but the oiliness and smell and time it took to apply were annoying. I used to apply MN then MTG on top of that it took at least a half hour.

I created a cream with Organic Root Stimulator No More Flakes, Sublimed Sulfur powder, grapeseed oil, castor oil, and Miconozale Nitrate. The ingredients of the ORS No More Flakes look really good they are listed below:

Ingredients
Herbal Infusion of Purified Water , Horsetail , Stinging Nettle , Garlic , Kola Nut , Panthenol , Oil of Castor Bean , Isopropyl Palmitate , Oleth 10 , Benzocaine , Glycerine , Menthol , Soy Bean Oil , Propylene Glycol , Essential Fatty Acids , Omega 3 , Omega 6 , Capsicum , Rice Bran Oil , Fragrant Oils

This came about by accident because I wanted to save time and money by combining products. First I put about a 1/2 teaspoon of the sublimed sulfur powder into about 2 ounces of grapeseed oil. I let that sit for a couple of days then I mixed it with about 1 ounce of castor oil, a tube of generic MN and about 3/4 of a jar of No More Flakes. I have been using it on my scalp for a couple of days. It has a more creamy watery consistency but it isn't as runny as MTG and it doesn't stink. Hopefully all of this stuff will have a synergistic effect.

Good Luck to everyone!!!

Thanks for posting this. It sounds good! I don't know what to use for my hairline. I'm lost right now. I wanted to do this challenge but I don't where to start or what to do.

 

[BLESSED1]

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

well my edges don't look worse so I guess that's a good thing. Still Surging, sometimes 2x/day. I'm gonna go back to using the profectiv cream when the weather cools down

 

[Radianthealth]

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

I have added a new product to my arsenal to address my hairline. I will be using Nioxin shampoo and conditioner with the scalp treatment. Hopefully this will produce results. I will probably post another photo in a month or two.

Good Luck!

what have you been doing/ produts do you use?

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

Count me in. I have been spraying Surge on my hairline twice a day. At night, after I surge, I put a little WGO on my fingers and rub that into my temple areas. My hairline has been thickening up nicely. I'm hoping it will be completely back in 2007.

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

Click on the link below to check out my progress. I styled my hair in an updo, that shows the true state of my hairline. I am very happy with my progress . <---(This is the first time that I have gotten to use this banana smiley...I couldn't wait but now is a good time to do so) Taking progress pics really helps to keep me motivated.

All of my tips are throughout the thread. Currently I am using my ORS liquid serum, followed by Nioxin, then sealed with my sulfur/mn cream recipe. The recipe is in the thread. I wear very loose buns to avoid stress on the hairline.

Good Luck Ladies!!!!!

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

WOW u have had tremendous progress I too want to thicken up my hairline and am going to use the ORS line to do it. I feel like my hairline has thinned out due to wearin my hair in tight ponytails. I am trying to tell myself it doesnt have to be slicked straight just to look decent. LOL I have also stopped brushing with hard brushes and am just trying to use a comb/fingers for my hair.

 

[krissyprissy]

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

I have thick hair but I'm noticing my hair line getting thinner from all the brushing and smoothing in a bun or french roll everyday. Count me in, I'm trying to figure out ways to eliminate the brush.

 

[Radianthealth]

Re: Thicken Up Hairline Challenge 2006

When I first heard about not using a brush I was like What?????? No brush how am I supposed to get my hair to lay flat. I haven't used a brush in 6 months and I really don't miss it, a comb does everything that you need. A satin scarf gets your hair to lay down so I don't even own a brush anymore....Just like that cold turkey

Oh yeah and thanks for the compliment, I feel like I have come a long way in a short ammount of time, my first hairline picture for my left side was soooo bad you could see my BRAIN!!!!!


I just thank God my hairline came back...I had been abusing it (unknowingly) with microbraids and (please forgive me) Bonded weaves for years.

Good Luck to you all... if I can recover from all the stuff I put my hair through so can you!!
