#1 thing for hair thickness and growth!

[mrshicks2002]

What would you say have been the #1 thing that have helped you so far in your hair journey with gaining length, thickness, or both.
Weather it be protective styles, MN, Rollersets, growth oils, and more. I would like to hear them all.

 

[Auburn]

I think most would say megatek

 

[*Happily Me*]

co washing
Helps me to retain

 

[wannabelong]

I would say stretching relaxers to at least 12 weeks.

 

[heyfranz]

Henna has helped with thickness and seemed to make my hair stronger and not so fragile

 

[Lanea87]

For me I believe its leaving the heat alone.....

 

[Finewine]

Not overlapping relaxers, and stretching (if you are one of those who can do so)

 

[mrshicks2002]

I would say stretching relaxers to at least 12 weeks.

I love your hair thickness!

 

[mrshicks2002]

For me I believe its leaving the heat alone.....

Thanks. Nice hair progress!

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

Less heat and cowashing for me is the way to go.

Thanks. I was lazy when it came to co washing, but your hair thickness is to die for.

 

[BeautifulFlower]

Stretching.

Relaxing so hair is wavy when wet.

Cowashing and natural oil.

 

[prospurr4]

For me, it's texlaxing and removing direct heat from my regimen.

 

[Magnolia85]

I stretched my relaxer for a 12 weeks and it helps a lot with maintaining thickness.

 

[RadiantBeauty]

KEEPING THAT HAIR MOISTURIZED!!!!!

 

[Nyssa28]

Growth aids

 

[loolalooh]

It would be a tie between: going natural and combing my hair less often.

 

[baddison]

Stretching
&
Henna

 

[KiniKakes]

1) STOPPED wrapping at night (permanent thickening)
2) Minimize daily combing (permanent thickening)
3) Biotin (temporary thickening, lasts as long as i do it)
4) Henna (temporary thickening, lasts as long as i do it)

Thanks KiniKakes. Its so nice to see you again and congrats on the little one.

 

[Duchesse]

Finger combing, very little heat, going natural. Maybe henna, I'm still unsure if it's thickened my hair or not.

 

[KdsLady09]

Vitamins (Biotin, Vit B, multi)
CoWashing
Low Manipulation (try to comb only on wash days)
Use Direct Heat about once/twice a month

 

[jetbeauty09]

Wearing protective styles such as braids and cornrows has thickened my hair tremendously. I'm working on accomplishing this without weave!

 

[PGirl]

My hair got healthier when I started rollersetting and no more blow drying. Also I think daily moisture is key.

 

[GoingNatural]

i've always had thickness. every single stylist i've been to in my life has noted how thick my hair is--even when i was relaxed.

growth--staying away from heat

 

[~*Tigget*~]

stretching and protective styling

 

[LABETT]

Stretching Relaxer past 12 weeks
Conditioner-washes
Haitian Castor oil-stinks but works
Polysorbate 80
Using more protein based products

 

[Highly Favored8]

Baggying my ends and sealing them with JBCO (Jamaican Black Castor oil). This helps alot for my thickness.

 

[taz007]

Joico's complete K-pak line and Henna. Thickened my hair up significantly!

 

[suburbanbushbabe]

For thickness and length retention I would have to say co-washing, frequent conditioning, adding butters over my conditioners and occasional baggying;making the last rinse a cold water one; protecting my hair at night (pony puff, silk pillowcase).
