It’s been a while since I gave you guys an update on my injibabs! The last time I updated you guys, I had actually shaved off the tiny patches of hair on the hairline to give it a clean look. And then I started hanging out in weaveville!!
In my first weave post I mentioned that one of the positives was that it covered my receding hairline, giving it a chance to grow back without that untidy look. So when I saw some progress I decided to go for a 2nd one and later Weave #3. I always make sure I go for those that will hide my hairline. Another thing, Ntombi (my hairdresser) already gets me and makes sure she doesn’t pull my hair in the front whenever she installs a weave on my head.
So basically what I do is rub some oil (mostly Castor oil, sometimes mixed with a drop of Amla oil)…not everyday. At my busiest I only do this once a week. I’m now starting to understand the leave-your-hair-alone advice. Wisaal once advised me to take before and after pictures to compare; in that way I’d be able to see whether there’s progress or not.
Oh and another thing, I haven’t been wearing foundation daily lately as I had this sneaky suspicion that it played a role in clogging my pores as I blend it into the hairline. But that’s just me.
For a while there I thought my hairline was permanently damaged. Yah yah the restoration’s not much BUT for someone who at some stage had thrown in the towel, I’m ecstatic!
Wow. The progress is visible. Keep at it and in no time the hairline will be full of healthy hair.
I agree with massaging every 2 days. Best solution to keep your hairline healthy is do not brush nor comb but massage not rub
yep.. girl i can see its growing back, i actually had no idea that you can nurture a receeding hair line back to life. I’ve always been super careful not to damage it out of fear that it wont grow back
