A guide for women with thinning edges & traction alopecia. Our ayurvedic hair growth oil is formulated to nourish the scalp, support weakened follicles, and help restore thinning edges. Consistency is key to visible results.
How to Use
- Apply 3–4 times a week. Ideally, every 2nd day.
- Use a small amount of the oil on the thinning edges and affected areas.
- Massage gently for 3–5 minutes to boost circulation.
- A little oil goes a long way. Do not wash it off.
- Use for 3–12 weeks to see improvement. Some people see results sooner than others; just be patient and consistent.
Daily Edge Care
- Keep edges moisturized; please avoid dry hair and dirt buildup.
- Cleanse/shampoo your hair gently 1–2 times a month.
- Avoid brushing edges harshly. Limit the use of edge control to lay your edges or avoid using it completely if you can.
- Wear satin scarves or bonnets at night. This is such a game-changer.
Healthy Hair Habits
- Keep styles loose, no tight braids, wigs, or ponytails. If possible, braid your natural hair, avoid adding heavy synthetic hair extensions, and avoid extremely thin or heavy braids.
- Take breaks between protective styles, and do not braid back-to-back.
- Reduce the use of heat on your hair or avoid blow-drying completely, and if you must blow-dry your hair, use a heat protectant and a low heat setting. Blow drying leaves your hair more brittle and weak than it is in its natural coily state.
- Avoid braiding dry hair; blow-drying and then applying oil before braiding will damage your hair in the long run. Ideally, moisturize (with water or hair tonic/mist), apply a hair growth oil followed by a hair butter, then braid your hair. That way, your hair won’t break when it shrinks while braided.
- Please continue to moisturize your hair even when it is braided. Mix water, a moisturizing leave-in conditioner, and an oil, and spray it on your hair to prevent it from drying out. Do this preferably at night, then wrap your hair in a satin scarf or bonnet before bed.
- Eat nutrient-rich foods (iron, protein, zinc).
- Reduce stress and stay hydrated.
Avoid These
- Tight braids, using glue, and heavy wigs that pull or damage edges.
- Excessive gel, alcohol-based products, or slicking your hair with gels and a brush daily. Embrace your hair in it natural state and you will have a much easier time growing it and caring for it.
- Constant brushing or tugging at the hairline.
- Sleeping on cotton pillowcases.
