i want to instal braids to ps but now with this...should i?

at work i must wear à tight bun or short lace front...not helping me hugh !?pfff i know

Let your hair breath , let it grow back on its own and stop covering it

You're headed in the right direction with applying castor oil and massaginig. Also remember to give your hair a break (as the previous poster stated). Now may not be the best time to get braids as a PS. Instead try doing buns, twistouts/braids for the time being...

Give your hair a rest. I used that temple balm by Organic Root Stimulator when I was slightly thinning from too tight ponytails years ago. Stay away from pulled back and braided hairstyles. Good luck.

the thing is that i never wear extensions or vers very tight styles. the last time i braided extensions was over 1 year and à half ago . at home i undo mhz hair. at work it in à bun à try.not to pull...so why am i getting this while avoiding all pressure to hair? this is crazy.

is it lack of deep conditionning ? i.never deep condition but this month im.starting it like crazy!

If you can get them, add the following essential oils to your castor oil: basil, thyme, lavendar and rosemary. Add 10 to 15 drops of each to 4 oz of oil. When applying mix it with a little bit of AVJ/AVG. And at least once a week, apply it and baggy for 30 minutes. If you have a heat cap or something similar use that. Apply it anytime you DC.

I'm using castor oil and Carols Daughter Hair Elixir. I am also bunning.

But you said you wore a lace front for 5months straight right? Even if you took it down it obviously had an effect on your edges. If you have to have a very neat look for work I would do braid outs and then bun but loosely. It can still look very neat that way.

Sorry this happened to you OP. Was it the scratchy BSS type Lace wig, you know where the "lace" is like hard plastic? At this point, no more wigs, moisturize and seal with JBCO. I have had troubles with my edges in the past and have found JBCO to be far superior than regular CO for me- everyone is different though.

Start deep conditioning! It will help along with your castor oil massages. Join us in the Healthy Crown and Edges challenge. Many of us are nursing our hair back to health.

Also, try not to wear styles that require your hair being pulled back constantly. How about twisting your hair into a bang, or a braid out bang pinned to the side? You can even try a half wig.

Comb your hair to the side to cover the bare spot until it grows back. This way you can still do your burns but make sure it's not so tight.
