I have come a long way since my hair loss days, and I was able to heal my edges and grow out my hair again. If you are in the same situation, here are some things that helped me:

I wore my hair in edge-friendly protective styles and twists.
I used a lot of moisture-preserving oils and products from brands like PATTERN.
I avoided hair products with paraben and alcohol in them.
I used a high-quality, silk bonnet every night to lock in the castor oil and shea butter that I had put in my hair overnight.
I invested in high-quality hair supplements and took them religiously.
I trusted the process, and tried to give it time. Hair regrowth is a long process, but it is worth the wait.
