Edges & Elbows: Why Moms Deserve More Than Just Lotion

Somebody’s gotta say it—mamas be out here keeping everybody moisturized but themselves.

You’ll grease your baby’s scalp, lotion up them elbows, detangle a full head of curls with one hand while making dinner with the other.

But your own edges? Dry.

Your scalp? Screaming.

That Edge Snatch Wasn’t From the Wig… It Was From Life

From postpartum shedding to stress-induced thinning, motherhood is full of unexpected hair drama. You love your babies, but the way your hairline been acting?

It’s giving “held on by a prayer.”

But here’s the good news: You don’t need a 12-step routine to care for your crown. You just need the right kind of support, and that’s where Grow Your Edges Back is here to help.


Start With Scalp Love Because Every Stage Needs It

New moms? That scalp needs tenderness and time to heal.
Moms of toddlers? You’re in survival mode, so spray-and-go is your bestie.
Mamas of teens and grown kids? You’ve earned the luxury oil moment. Treat yourself.

Try this: Keep our Wig Refresh Spray in your diaper bag or desk drawer. It’s perfect for a quick scalp wake-up that doesn’t leave you greasy. Spray, pat, and go reclaim your day.


Hair Care = Self Love= Legacy

Your little ones watch how you care for yourself. That includes how you speak to your hair, how you make time for wash day (even if it's late-night after bedtime), and how you show up for yourself when no one's watching.

Our fave for this vibe? The Original GYEB Growth Oil. It's rich but not heavy, and one drop goes a long way just like mamas do.

You can be soft and strong. You can be tired and still worth the effort. You can love your babies and love on yourself too.

Your edges been through a lot—kids, stress, buns pulled too tight—but it’s not too late. You deserve more than lotion, sis. You deserve the kind of care that sticks with you.
