After I had my daughter, my left temple area started to thin from postpartum shedding. I basically just stopped wearing my hair pulled back so tighty on that side and I massaged the area twice daily. Every other day, I would massage the area with stimulating essential oils (rosemary, and peppermint). I also made sure to tie my hair up with a satin scarf each night
Do you know what is causing your thin sides? Braids? Sleeping on that particular side? Wrapping? -------------

am not sure whats casuing it but it's just never grown out. i.ve got a bald spot because of pick n drop braids that i had in january i use rosemary oil and massage it in at night now but it still looks the same, i've tryed ors temple creme n dat didnt work to well i've got braids in now but nt on my sides cos the hair's so thin that the braids would pull them off and if i wear my braids up i always make sure that the side are not pulled out all. i just read about nioxin follicle booster but i dnt know if this will work cos nothing has so far n for £15.00 i dnt want to waste my money |

I really think you need to find what exactly is causing your problems with this area.
What is your general regimen like as far as products (protein/moisturizers/shampoos, etc), heat use, and daily styling? -------------

I am sure some of the other ladies will be able to suggest some stimulating treatments- but once you know the source of your troubles you'll be able to prevent further problems or reoccuring instances of this in the future. No need to grow it back in only to have it act up later on down the line.

| My crown was thinning out really really bad from relaxers and wearing ponytails alot. I added rosemary to my conditioners and oils (thanks to the ladies on this forum), and its alot thicker now. I just started doing that in January. Also I stopped relaxing. |

I had a problem with thinning sides due to wearing too many ponytails over the years day and night. I think it put too much stress on my hair basically. So now I have my hair in loose braids at night and oil my sides with WGO to promote growth. I'm seeing results from this 3 months in. I will try other daytime non stress styles such as bantu knots as soon as I get the hang of them! ------------- Natural 10 years 3b/4a armpit length hair |

Try locating a health food store. Or a place like Vitamin Shoppe, which has a organic section and essential oils section. |

| All of these methods are good methods to stimulate growth. I know tight braids can cause hair to break off from the temple area sometimes, I myself had thinning edges after keeping braids in too much. An effective way to help with thinning hair is to massage the scalp daily, take a good supplement such as biotin, just last week I started using Mane N Tail regular shampoo, and I have already noticed new growth and my hair is thicker, stronger, and much shinier, and sulfur8 also helps stimulate new growth... |
