Tips For Those Who Want To Know 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 ingredient for these deep treatments is Aloe Vera. This plant is known globally for its many health benefits that range from internal support for the body as well as skin and hair health. The inside part of the plant is removed and rubbed onto the head with attention being paid to the scalp and the strands. It is then allowed to stay there for about thirty minutes before it is rinsed off.

In addition to Aloe Vera natural hair enthusiasts use coconut oil to promote thicker, stronger curly locks. This oil is taken from the nut that grows on the coconut tree and like many other oils derived by similar means is linked with many health benefits. For lock thickening purposes coconut oil is preferred in its rawest, purest state.

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.

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

These women also pay attention to the nutrients in their body with a view to improving the health and thickness of their curly tresses. They focus on improving their intake of nutrients such as folic acid which is known for its ability to promote cell division and multiplication. It is not difficult to see how this nutrient can help the locks which, essentially are made up of cells, to multiply.

But naturals do not only treat their curly tresses with deep conditioning or strengthening solutions. They also style strategically to promote a healthy density of strands on the scalp. Protective styling techniques such as twists, weaves and wigs are used to reduce the amount of manipulation, and by extension stress that the strands undergo.
