It is common to hear people complain about their dreads becoming thinner and thinner as they grow longer, and wish to have fuller dreads. The good thing is that you can stop locs thinning by using natural home remedies. These DIY natural solutions are both safe and effective.
How I Achieve Fuller Dreads
My dreads were thicker in their teenage years, but now that they are aging a bit, they have become thinner, but in a good way. However, to prevent them from becoming thinner and weak, I have a few natural remedies that I’ve implemented in my locs care regimen.
Black Castor Oil for Healthy Scalp & Dreads
If you’re not new to my blogs, you will see where I often write about the great results I’ve achieved from using the Jamaican Black Castor Oil. I usually mix it with coconut oil, so that it’s not so thick.
Applying Castor Oil and Coconut Oil
I apply the combined oils to my scalp, using an applicator bottle. After applying the oils, I carefully massage it into my scalp. Applying it along the parted sections, should make it more easier for you. My locs look much more healthier and fuller.
Dealing With Thin, Lifeless Dreads
Some hairstyles may make your scalp be more visible than some. That’s different than when your hair is just thin.The scalpy look usually occurs when your hair has gotten too thin and lifeless. The castor oil provides the nutrients that your hair needs, and also promotes fuller, longer dreads.
Steaming My Dreads to Get it Fuller
Another tip I would like to pass along to you, is steaming your dreads to get them fuller. I use the same oil mixture mentioned above, with a little tea tree oil in it. Just apply the oils from the applicator bottle to your scalp and hair, then cover it with a heat cap. I try to do this before each wash. Steaming your hair helps to strengthen weakened locs roots.
