Why Are My Edges Thinning?

This is a question that is easier to ask than to answer. There could be many reasons as to why your edges or hairline are thinning. A common factor that causes hair thinning a lot of people don't realize is too much tension or stress on the hair follicles. This includes hair styles such as too tight ponytails, braids, or hair extensions. Also, using hair accessories that pull or snag the hair can cause thinning of the hairline over an extended period of time. Sometimes we are so involved with the way we want a style to look that we don't care about the adverse affects it my cause on our hair. For some people the hairline may become thinner over a long period of time or it may only take one incident of improper hair styling. Another factor that attributes to hair thinning is genetics. Alopecia Areata is a serious hair condition that causes bald spots. This is usually a hereditary trait and passed down from family members. Other things that can cause thinning of hair include certain medications, thyroid issues, and medical treatments such as chemo therapy. So, how can I grow my edges back? There are a lot of different natural oils and hair treatments that may help with thinning edges, but it is always best to first check with a dermatologist so that you can find out what has caused thinning to your hair. It is only then can it be determined what would be the best solution for treatment. If you notice you have thinning or bald edges you must also analyze your own personal hair care practices so that you can change your regimen and find the correct information to properly care for your hair. Are you suffering or do you know anybody with thinning or bald edges?

3 Benefits of Using Coconut Oil on Your Hair

This post is for all my Curly Swag Diva's that have not yet indulged in the many benefits of coconut oil. First, coconut oil is one of the few oils that is able to penetrate the hair shaft. Unlike, other oils that mostly just coat the hair and leave a greasy feeling, coconut oil is beneficial to the hair shaft and acts as a protein to help with the strength and flexibility of your hair. Second, Coconut Oil can be used on the scalp to treat dandruff because of its anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. Third, coconut oil is a great moisturizer for your hair. Since Coconut Oil is not easily broken down it is great for sealing moisture into your hair to keep it hydrated. 

To use coconut oil as a treatment, massage throughout your hair from scalp to ends and put on a plastic shower cap. You can leave it in the hair for 30 minutes, or you can sleep in it overnight and shampoo in the morning.

TBT (Throw Back Thursday) Kelly Rowland's Curls

We had to do a Throw Back Thursday Tribute and give thanks to Curly Girl Swag Kelly Rowland for giving us life with these beautiful Coily Q's! If you weren't born naturally with these type of beautiful curls there are many ways that you can duplicate this same look. You can try a wig, a weave, or even a more popular trend these days, crochet braids. Leave us a comment if you would like for us to do a tutorial for this look. XoXo
