What are you doing to thicken up your hair?

What are you doing or what have you done to thicken up your hair?

I'm starting to get real aggravated with mine. It just looks thinner to me. I negelected to do any protein treatments after my touch up so i'm hoping after I use some protein I will start to see a little thickness again.

I just pre-poo with egg and evoo and now i'm dcing with my ntm. I hope this does a little something.

I have to find aphogee so I can do a hardcore protein treatment soon.

I love how my hair looks when i'm 8 weeks post or more. I'm going to try to stretch my relaxers longer..I hope I can.

daily scalp massages
healthy diet
moisturizing every night to prevent the ends from breaking off
keeping my hands out my hair=more hair on my head
and coating my ends with conditioner when I get a touch up, VERY IMPORTANT

ETA: minimal heat

Stretching my relaxers makes my hair "look" thicker. I usually stretch for 12 weeks.

Thanks for replying. I was looking through the threads and seen something called mega tek...I'll research that to see if it helps in anyway and i'm going to try henna.

^^^^^Girl you already have some wonderful thickness lol

Stretching has been the ultimate thickener for me.
Rollersetting in the earlier weeks helps.
Airdrying helps too.

Super-strong protein treatments
Protective styling
biotin
growth aids.

I use food grade aloe vera gel on my hair and scalp. I have been doing this since January daily and my hair is much thicker and never any tangles either.

I miss biotin so bad lol. I had so much growth from it but, the breakouts that I got were just crazy and my mustache was something fierce.

I remember hearing about aloe being good now that I think about it. I started up a post a while ago about my mothers friend who uses it and her hair is really thick. I have to actually try it now lol.

I'll try to stretch longer as well and detangle carefully lol.

Thanks everyone for your response.

Aloe vera thickens hair. I also use castor oil as a gel to slick down my hair. People stated that it will make your hair thicker and yes, it does. My eyebrows have even gotten thicker from castor oil. So now I have more to shape the way I want!
