How to thicken your hair at home: 7 tips that work

For those who want to make the hair thick and strong, we have gathered a selection of the most intelligent and practical tips from the experts!

Thick hair is the dream of many men! If you naturally have thin and fragile hair, the path to achieving your objectives can be long and arduous. But do not despair - if you set a goal, you can achieve awe-inspiring results.

Today we have collected tips for you that work. It is worth using them in combination because they are helpful individually. They will not be compelling enough.

 

THIN HAIR:

To a large extent, hair density is determined by a set of genetic factors. This is both good and bad! It's good because if you have had thin hair all your life, you know precisely the reason, but it's terrible because you can fight genetics, but victory is not guaranteed.

Things get much more complicated if you had thick or just normal hair, which for some reason began to thin out. A trichologist will help to find this reason, who will analyze a set of individual factors.

The culprit for deterioration can be a variety of things: improper care, and unsuccessful staining or discoloration, and too hot air during installation. Often, the reasons are not related to external factors but internal ones, for example, hormonal imbalance, stress, or even chronic lack of sleep.

Regardless of which of all these options is yours, you can help your hair today. Below you will find tips that will give your strands the long-awaited density.

 

1. DIET FOR THICK HAIR:

You've probably noticed a long time ago that almost every health problem rests on the need to adjust the diet. An appropriate diet can work wonders - but only with self-discipline, patience, and a willingness to stick to a healthy diet for a long time. So, what should be present in your diet?

 

  • Fish and seafood: Rich in omega-3 acids, iron, and zinc, fatty fish will help your hair achieve the desired density and healthy shine.
  • Eggs: Regardless of the preparation method, eggs contain biotin, magnesium, B vitamins, which are so important for hair. Beneficial is the use of quail eggs.
  • Avocado: Trichologists recommend that you generously lean on this product. One avocado contains about 20% of the daily value of vitamin E, which can strengthen hair and stop hair loss.
  • Potatoes: sweet potatoes are a valuable source of beta-carotene, essential for beautiful, thick curls.
  • Nuts: Replace a sandwich snack with a handful of nuts to serve fatty amino acids, selenium, copper, and zinc.

 

  • Tomatoes: Vitamin C in this vegetable promotes the production of collagen, which is vital for healthy hair and skin.
  • Water: Everyone knows very well that it is necessary to drink at least 1.5 liters of clean water a day, but they often forget! If you don't drink enough, the fight for thick hair is already half lost.
  • It is worth excluding from the diet or at least reducing the consumption of traditionally considered harmful food - fried, soda, spicy, smoked, etc.

 

2. SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER SUITABLE FOR HAIR TYPE:

Look for products designed to increase hair volume and thickness, such as Redken High Rise Volume or any other firm you trust. Finding the perfect product the first time is unlikely to work, but don't give up - we use shampoo and conditioner, so they should be reliable allies, not random guests in your bathroom.

 

3. TREAT THE SCALP:

Concentrating on the problem of fine hair, we often forget that their health is related to the condition of the scalp. For example, if you tend to wash your hair frequently, your skin's protective barrier weakens, and so does your hair.

A trichologist will again help to adequately assess the condition of the scalp with the help of unique analysis. If you have an obvious problem, such as dandruff, start with the solution.

 

4. AVOID HOT STYLING:

Yes, we all know perfectly well how long styling takes at minimum temperature conditions. But fine hair will appreciate your concern! You will have to forget about using irons - such an aggressive effect on thin hair will not lead to anything good.

By the way, nowadays, various methods of hairstylingcoming more and more popular, in which a hairdryer is not used at all.

In addition, it is helpful to protect your hair from the sun. For example, you can sew a hat or Panama with your own hands - our catalog contains patterns for hats suitable for this purpose!

 

5. BRUSH YOUR HAIR MORE OFTEN:

Brushing will only benefit - it is both massage, and stimulation of hair follicles, and exfoliation. However, you will have to think about which comb to choose. It should be of high quality, not electrify the hair, and even more minor cause discomfort.

Experts recommend choosing either wooden combs and combs for this purpose or silicone ones. It is worth resolutely refraining from plastic and metal.

By the way, combing can be turned into an aromatherapy session by adding a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the comb.

 

6. FIRMING MASKS:

When asked how to make hair thicker, cosmetic companies have a wagon and a small cart of answers - there are a lot of masks for fine hair on store shelves. Which one is right for you? You will have to find out empirically, but do not forget about homemade masks.

An egg mask will be handy for thickening hair: mix two yolks with one glass of water and apply to hair. Wrap your head with plastic wrap and leave for an hour, then wash your hair with shampoo.

 

Another effective recipe is a mask with aloe juice and niacin. You can buy nicotinic acid at a pharmacy. It improves blood circulation and thus helps to strengthen hair follicles, improves hair growth, and gives them thickness. Combine one tablespoon of fresh aloe juice with two ampoules of niacin.

Apply the mask to dry or damp hair, leave it on for an hour and a half, and then rinse.

 

7. SUPPLEMENTS:

Hair supplements do work, but don't prescribe them yourself! Even though advertisements try to convince us that you can go to the pharmacy and buy a vitamin complex, an excess of particular vitamins is just as harmful as a lack of them.

Therefore, a consultation with a trichologist (and maybe a therapist) before admission is necessary.
