My daughter Jasmine is almost 6 years old and at that inquisitive stage where she wants to know why things are the way they are. She asks a question and whatever mine or my husband's response she always has 8 more follow on questions. She is a bonafide information sponge at the moment.
Yesterday when I told her that I wanted to wash her hair during bath time she demanded to know if I was going to use the shower or bathtub water to wash her hair. I told her that I would use the shower as I always did. 'Oh good' she exclaimed. 'I like the way the shower tickles my edges!'.
I had a giggle wondering how she even knew about edges and told her that she needs to say 'hairline' instead. It got me thinking about how important our hairlines are to us black women.

I think she was implying that if you are experiencing hair loss to avoid certain styles or anything that will put tension on your edges. For me I give my hair time to breathe before I get it re braided (like 2-3 weeks) and I don’t leave my braids in for more then 4-6 weeks depending on the style. And I don’t really like the puff so I usually do a frohawk with bobby pins so my edges aren’t tightly pulled and I dnt use edge control or gel they dry your hair out a lot and I dnt like the build up it causes.
smh
oooh honey…
That’s exactly what I meant. And naturals can still wear braid outs, twist outs because the hair isn’t kept braided for extended periods. Also updos done with bobby pins would work well. The idea is to forget about length retention until those edges are back.
So wrong!!!
Castor oil and megatek is pretty effective to grow hair back.
Hahahahaaaa
Yikes
Must braid Dee edge lol
Coloring while natural is fine as long as you maintain it. I dont understand why it’s always associated with breakage… The lady on the pic doesn’t have color, just saying…
Sad all black women laughing talking about her but no one said what she can do to grow them back but its always us.
Jamaican black castor oil
Hardest I have laughed in a long time! You need to stop 🙂
Loool
Wooo. Whee.. Castor oil and natural shampoo conditioners and potent vitamins can and should help
What happened lord, I don’t like Melanin women putting other melanin women down. This is obviously a medical condition. Poor Queen

Iaso emu oil helps with hair growth in addition to other common problems ppl face everyday, so inbox me to order your bottle of iaso emu oil. Thanks for reading and GOD bless you all! 🙂 xoxo
I’m glad I don’t have this issue anymore. Also jamaican black castor oil helps bring back those edges. Monistat helps too! Don’t come for me unless u tried it. I big chopped 05/29/14 and my hair is at my collar bone bc of it
It keeps sending the message back to me…anyways i mix monistat with a light oil and I apply it to my scalp. For a week daily. It will itch but it opens up closed follicles. It’s an anti fungus creme clearing up any fungus u have. After a week I apply it every other day. It works no lie. You can good monistat for hair. It’s used on cancer patients
Thanks girl.. Never thought of that. Awesome idea they came up with.. I will definitely try it.
I only agree with #4, when I had a relaxer it was colored and I had edges. Now I’m natural and I braid my hair and pull in tight puffs and I still have edges.
“Curb”, not “kerb”
Rosemary oil
You can see my hair it real .there is nothing to do its damaged her scalp hair transplant that’s it
Hair grow from the inside not out side in once the bulb is damaged that’s it get a Lawyer
Are there any hairdresser on this page?
Lmbo!!
it should say edges missing
From my experience, having to many different people doing your hair is what did it to me. I had had never had a problem with my edges before then.
