I have really thick, medium to long hair, if I thin it out will it grow back even thicker?

it doesn't grow back thicker, but you have to understand what thinning actually does. the process of thinning creates shorter pieces of hair in between the regular longer pieces of hair. depending on the stylist (and whether he/she really knows what he/she is doing) these pieces can be placed WAY too close to the scalp, causing the short pieces to actually push UP on the longer pieces as they grow out, making the hair appear poofier, or thicker, and making it harder to flat iron and actually get FLAT. i am NOT an advocate of thinning hair. get a good layering job done. layers thin hair in a much more modern and effective way. and if your hair has any curl at all, thinning it will cause all kinds of funky pieces to stick out at all kinds of funky angles and it is not a good look. i only thin hair when the client INSISTS and even then, they sign a permission slip. i will texturize when the style requires it (ie: a short, spiky style, or one of those weird "emo" styles), but thinning is usually completely unneccessary. discuss it with your stylist. if they know your hair, they should know whether it is really right for your hair. worst case scenario, try it out midshaft and farther out (and please SPECIFY midshaft and farther out!!!) so it won't take you long to grow it out if you hate it. i have had people thin mine to my SCALP before. i was PISSED. i could have strangled the idiot. took nearly a year to get it grown back out. and it looked ridiculous. so just be careful.

good luck!

Of course not, you cannot alter the way your hair grows.

I don't know if it will grow back thicker but it will be something you need to continue to do....but thinning it out will make it feel so much better and look better too ~~

i have super thick hair and i usually always get it thined out when i get it trimmed. i don't think mine grows back any thicker than it was before. i usually have to get my hair trimmed and thined about every 4 weeks to keep it manageable.

Sounds like my hair before I cut it. You should get it layed, that solved my problem =) It won't grow back thicker.

Old wives' tale. Get it cut any way you want to. Mine never gets thicker, and I've thinned for years . . .

The "growing back thicker" after cutting idea is a myth and is untrue.
