Advice On How To Get Thick African American Hair

By Kenya England


There was a time when the tightly curly and coiled of an African woman was a thing to be ashamed of. Women with thick curls constantly sought after ways to convert their manes into straight or wavy tresses. But things have changed since those days. Today, natural hair is a growing trend and source of pride and identity among women of color. Many natural hair fans are now trying to figure out how to get thick African American hair.

For many women, the main thing that they do to thicken their hair is to treat it. They use specially combined mixtures of nutritional solutions to support the health of the existing follicles and trigger new growth. The treatment mixtures are allowed to remain on the head for a minimum of thirty minutes in order for the follicles to absorb the nutrients.

One popular natural hair treatment ingredient is Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera is renowned for its many health benefits and women's locks have, for centuries benefited from its use. Aloe Vera is sometimes used by itself but at other times it is mixed with other ingredients. The internal parts of the plant are extracted and massaged into the tresses and scalp. It is then allowed to remain there to deposit its nutrients before being rinsed away.

Another nature born curly locks enhancer is coconut oil an oil that is extracted from the tropical nut of the same name. Like Aloe Vera, coconut oil is associated with health benefits. Coconut oil is used most in its raw virgin state as this version of the oil is said to be richest.

Among the locks enhancing concoctions used to promote thickness is a popular tropical food, avocado. The ripe fruit is massaged onto the head and allowed to deposit its thickening and health promoting benefits before it is rinsed off. Many users of this fruit combine it with other beneficial ingredients such as eggs, or ripened bananas.

Nature also provides natural tresses with health benefits through the avocado fruit. The ripe avocado is massaged into hair to give it more volume. Sometimes it is combined with other strand enhancing ingredients such as eggs or ripe bananas. Like other mixtures this one is allowed to sit on the head for a minimum of thirty minutes to allow for optimum absorption

Women also adjust their diets with a view to improving the thickness of their natural locks. Folic acid is associated with cell division and production and many have recognized this. They therefore increase their consumption of foods that contain the nutrient. Others increase their intake through supplements. Other herbal remedies such as royal jelly are also consumed to improve tress thickness.

Styling methods are also tailored to promote thickness in natural locks. Protective styling techniques are known for their promotion of healthy growth. This is because the curls undergo less stress since they are untouched for a while. In addition to protective styling, natural sisters lean on styles that are achieved with limited manipulation of the hair.
