Natural Ladies getting Thicker hair.....

[BeetleBug]

I've always had thick hair. My natural hair is a little bit more thicker than my relaxed hair.

I did not know that castor oil was a highly penetrative oil. Thanks for sharing this information. What this means to me is I don’t have to buy jojoba which is highly penetrative but more expensive.

Yes jojoba, emu, castor, avocado and coconut oil are all deep penetrating oils. Emu being the most fastest penetrating of them all.

I used Nioxin Shampoo, Scalp Therapy and Follicle Booster-recommended by natural haircare specialist. It helped my hair a lot.

Started deep conditioning at least 2x a week and doing Oil Rinses with castor oil or olive oil.

Wear twists, plaits, afro puffs and wigs for styles.



Now I'm hoping that Ovation will do something with this length.

My hair has always been thick. So, nothing has contributed to it.

I have naturally thick dense hair...but I think the vitamins are helping. Im not really sure.

I've always had thick hair, but once I went natural and started doing cowashes almost daily, it became even thicker.

I think I'm going to do some more in depth research on castor oil. I believe people when they say it thickens their hair. I just want to know the how and why of it.[/quote]

Hi Msa: I agree with you. I don't think Castor oil thickens hair.

I LOVE Castor oil and use it daily but can't say it made my hair thicker. However, I do think MegaTek is a key player making my already thick hair, thicker.

Cowashing, castor oil, MT, and henna.

After finding some more info......Henna is going to be my staple now....

I dunno if it was one particular thing-but since I started detangling better (fingers, wide tooth comb, then denman- I have less breakage from build up shed hair that formed knots so I have slightly thicker hair. I also think my vits (biotin and MSM and DC 2x a week has helped.

Thanks for this!! I really needed this after erecently discovering that thick curly hair doesn't equal thick straight hair. I Really want to try both henna and castor oil now. Also, does henna indigo also add an extra layer to the hair? I'd rather have a black tint than orange....TIA....

No heat! My hair has always been thick but always pressing it thinned it out. So now I flat iron once a year for my trim and that's it.
