| Is there such a thing as something that you can put on your hair daily that will make it thick? I am begining to realize that when I finally reach my goals, my hair will be thin and not as cute as a head full of long, thick hair. I have been taking my biotin, 3mg daily, for almost a year but my hair isn't as thick as I would like for it to be. Have you ladies found anything that I can use to make my hair thicker? I already use mtg and I have tried surge, but it made my scalp flake like no other. TIA! |

Ok- i'm gonna make a reccomendation- try doing a pre-poo treatment of castor oil weekly and see if that helps- it made my thick hair even thicker. ------------- Me and you, your cousin and your momma too rollin on da strip on bow's |

carameldiva, is that regular castor oil or the black castor oil ? Did it actually thicken your strands or just gave the "appearance" of thicker after your pre-poo/wash? edited to add: I've read a lot about castor oil for hair usage. Anyone know what the benefits are? If you've used it, what results have you seen? Which works best regular or black? ------------- ~~  LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!~~

I've only used regular castor oil. It is great for hair and acts as a humectant. Like most humectant's it is thick in consistency and somewhat heavy. I use it for my ends mostly. ------------- |

Well let's see- i already have thick hair but the use of the castor oil (either one) has made my strands thicker. It actually looked and felt thicker after a few weeks of usuage. The clear one is more refined i believe and the black one is more pure- i use the black one during the week and the clear one on the weekend when i poo. Hope this helps somewhat. ------------- Me and you, your cousin and your momma too rollin on da strip on bow's |

belle~ is the mtg not making your new growth come in thicker? i think it's changed mine and my overall hair just looks thicker. i don't think you can actually add thickness to the strands once they push out of your scalp ... if you find one, let me know. i want the wild hair i had when i was 5 back! |
