    Default Has anyone ever achieved thicker hair?

    Hi, I have experienced hair loss, as I'm sure many people have. Going from a ii to a i.

    I am wondering, has anyone ever grown thicker hair?

    If so, how did you achieve it?

    I'm about to try castor oil, which supposedly helps keep hair from falling out and helps it grow faster. I'll let you know how it works for me, but you can also search the forums for the castor oil thread, there are some great before and after pics in there. Good luck!

    yes, castor oil! ^ ^
    ive been using it for 4 days and ive seen a huge difference already. my growth has increased and so has my thickness. i have been using this little jar i got of "hollywood beauty castor oil"
    it has:
    castor oil, mink oil, sweet almond oil, vitamin E, jojoba oil, safflower oil, lanolin, cocobutter.
    its also surprisingly very light on my hair. it doesnt weigh it down or make it greasy
    also ive heard alot that henna thickens your hair. im new to henna i just got some in the mail today and ive been trying to learn about it before i actually do it

    No advice, have naturally thick hair. Would hate to have it thicker than it already is... Good luck!

    I know when I put honey in my hair it feels thicker. Until I wash it out. I use it in my home made styling spray.

    I've found my circumference vastly increased in the two years since I joined this forum.

    I'm attributing it to gentler detangling methods, a lot more updos, and overall more hair-awareness.

    I have noticed my ends are thicker I think that has to do with better care techniques. I have less damage in my hair.

    My hair is naturally quite thick for being almost stick-straight. But I have noticed quite a difference in the thickness of my hair since I've started using rooibos tea as a spritz and stopped using a hair brush and resorted to only using my tangle teezer. I now *maybe* have about 5-10 hairs fall out daily, which is a great improvement for my hair.
    Slowly creeping towards knee-length hair...

    I would recommend checking out the castor oil and monistat threads. Also if you can get shampoo bars (the real soap kind, not lush) to work for you that's supposed to make hair thicker as well.

    I ordered a tangle teezer online a week or so ago, and my hair hair has stopped falling out so much. It's really an awesome tool and I think anyone who is concerned with fall-out should get one.
