Tips 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.

One method that many natural sisters are using to thicken their tresses is nurturing it. They use deep treatment concoctions to help existing strands to remain healthy while at the same time encouraging the growth of new ones.Some natural sisters prefer to buy commercial products designed to treat curly locks.

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.

Coconut oil is another home remedy that is used to thicken the curly locks of African American women. Coconut oil is similar to Aloe Vera in that it has been linked with health benefits for many years. Preference is given to virgin coconut oil as it is said to possess high amounts of nutrients.

Avocado is another remedy for thick hair that natural sisters are turning to more and more. It is the ripened fruit that is used for this purpose. Some natural sisters combine avocado with other ingredients such as ripe bananas or eggs to improve its effect.

Some natural sisters look to an old Jamaican remedy, Castor oil for the health of their curly locks. This ancient oil, which is extracted from the seeds of the Castor bean plant, is known for its ability to improve the health of each strand and follicle. It is also associated with the reduction and elimination of balding and thinning. Often, this oil is blended with other oils such as coconut oil and sesame oil.

Natural sisters also pay keen attention to the food they put in their bodies when they strive for thicker tresses. They rely on foods that are rich in nutrients such as folic acid which is associated with cell division and growth. For many, an easier solution is to use folic acid supplements. Other supplements such as royal jelly are also used to enhance thickness and health.

In addition to deep treatment, women with curly or coiled hair wear hairstyles that are expected to promote thickness. These are known as protective styles since they protect the tresses by reducing or eliminating the need for manipulation. These types of styles include weaves, wigs and twists.
