Loc’ing my hair was one of the best decisions I made for my lifestyle. The constant search for a new hairstylist, spending hundreds of dollars on new products that didn’t work, the never-ending shedding and breakage, and the daily question of, “What am I going to do with my hair today?” had exhausted me. And while loc’ing my hair eliminated many of those issues, a new problem arises: my edges were thinning.
When I first started retightening my hair, I was doing it way too tight, putting a lot of tension on my edges. Two years later, I noticed a few bald patches around my face. Before I freaked out, I gave As I Am’s Rosemary Hair Growth Oil a swing at regrowing my balding edges, and the results blew me away.

The hair oil is formulated with rosemary, which improves blood circulation to the scalp, stimulates growth, reduces breakage, and eliminates dandruff and scalp acne thanks to its antibacterial properties. It also contains peppermint oil to soothe scalp itchiness and melatonin, which improves hair thickness, prevents alopecia and hair loss, and delays hair aging. It’s made for all hair types and can be applied directly to the scalp—no diluting needed.
I was hydrating and oiling my scalp at least three times a week, but I quickly learned that with retightening, my small sections, and my scalp constantly exposed to the elements, it just wasn’t enough. So when I started noticing my locs thinning and bald patches around my edges, I became more routine when using As I Am’s rosemary oil. I put it on my scalp every morning for eight weeks straight. It was easy to do because the dropper tool allowed me to apply it precisely along the grid of my scalp. I massaged it for about two to three minutes into my scalp and edges, then down the length of my strands.
Upon initial contact with my scalp, it felt cooling and immediately soothed any redness or itchiness. The once sparse sections were sprouting strands again. I also noticed my thinning locs were looking thicker and more robust. After two months, my loctician was shocked at how quickly my hair had grown between appointments. She took photos of my progress to recommend the oil to her other clients experiencing similar hair loss problems. Although I have locs, my sister also loves using this oil after getting tight protective styles like braids.
