<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe’ve gathered top 10 ways to help your thin hair look thicker!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
1. Just a Trim <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Getting frequent trims can dramatically improve your hair health. Trimming gets rid of split ends, which lead to hair breakage and diminished shine, volume and smoothness. Whatever your style goal, regular trims will help you maintain fuller, healthier-looking hair along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Shampoo & Condition Wisely<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ordinary shampoos may contain significant amounts of harmful sulfates that strip your hair of its natural oils, which organically moisturize and repair. They can also remove color and other treatments. Shuffle between volumizing, moisturizing, deep-cleansing, and gentler shampoos to cleanse your hair and scalp without damaging them. And whenever you shampoo, be sure to use the right conditioner. Shampoo opens the hair\u2019s cuticle, and conditioner seals it back up\u2014locking in the nutrients and keeping pollutants out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Improve Your Health<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The hair root derives nourishment from inside your body, so your diet and general well-being will have an effect on your hair health. Daily supplements containing essential vitamins, minerals, and blends of botanicals work to feed your hair from the inside out. Vitamins A, B7 or biotin, C, D, and E, as well as Iron and Zinc, all promote more healthy-looking hair. Also, studies show that smoking is not only bad for your heart and lungs, but damaging to your hair too.1<\/sup> So there\u2019s another reason to quit smoking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Turn Down the Heat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether from hot showers, curling irons, blow dryers, saunas, or the sun\u2019s rays, heat can ruin your hair. Overly humid environments can also leave you with a bad hair day. Wear a hat when in the sun for extended periods, and avoid harsh treatments like bleaching, coloring, straightening, and curling unless performed by a professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Don’t Forget to Brush<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Even the way you brush your hair can either lead to or prevent damage. First, don\u2019t brush soaking wet hair, because it has expanded by up to 30%, making it more susceptible to knots and damage. Gently pat your hair dry with a towel as opposed to ferociously scrubbing it. And, start with a wide-toothed comb on damp hair. You should only brush your hair when it\u2019s mostly dry, and start from the ends, working your way up to the root.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. Sleep On It<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n High-thread-count cotton sheets are all the rage, but cotton is harsher on your hair than other materials. Silk pillowcases are gentler, won\u2019t break or tug at your hair while you sleep, and won\u2019t absorb away those natural oils as much as cotton ones do. Also, make brushing part of your bedtime ritual. A few very gentle strokes from root to tip will disperse the natural oils through your hair and support natural moisturizing while you sleep. If you have long hair, tie it loosely while you sleep to avoid bed-head breakage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. Laser Focus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Low-level laser light treatment (LLLT)<\/a> has been reported to increase cell metabolism and the health of blood vessels in the scalp. Made in a variety of designs, from brushes and headbands to helmets and caps, LLLT devices emit a red light that produces no sensation but works by stimulating and energizing the cells within the follicle. These devices have been shown in double-blind placebo-controlled studies to be effective with over 90% of participants when used as directed.2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n 8. Get Your Head Examined<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re not pleased with your hair, the only way you can conclude with certainty which solution will work for you is to have an expert inspect what\u2019s happening on the follicular level. A technology called TrichoView <\/a>enables professionals to magnify your hair and scalp, to see what\u2019s truly going on at a microscopic level and study your current state of hair health. In doing so, they can analyze density and hair diameter, and identify follicles that are weak or shutting down. Much like using a scale when dieting, regular check-ins can quantify your progress and keep you on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9. Hang Loose<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While the man-bun has grown in popularity, tight hairstyles can lead to a condition known as Traction Alopecia<\/a>, or hair loss caused by repeatedly pulling on your hair. Wearing your hair often in tight ponytails, buns, tight braids, cornrows, dreadlocks, or heavy weaves can all lead to Traction Alopecia. This condition may be reversible if you stop pulling your hair early enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 10. Get Stimulation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Scalp massages stimulate blood circulation to the hair follicles and also remove dead skin cells. They also increase the production of serotonin, a chemical in your body that improves your mood.3<\/sup> Scalp massagers range from small and scrubby to power- operated, rechargeable, waterproof spas for pure cranial bliss.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keeping your hair looking healthy and fuller is pretty straightforward once you understand what might be causing it to thin. First, it’s helpful to know the difference between thin and fine hair so you can pick the best hairstyles. Regular trims, using the right shampoo and conditioner, eating well, and not overdoing it with the heat are all really important. Also, be gentle when brushing, try using a silk pillowcase, and maybe look into low-level laser light therapy\u2014it can really help.
