How To Thicken Thin Hair
A full head of hair is usually a sign of health and vitality and it is no secret that we all desire to look healthy, but sometimes your hair can let you down. We all want gorgeous thick hair, but unfortunately we are not all blessed with Cheryl Cole-esque locks and some of us need a little help in the barnet department. If your hair is looking less than lack lustre then do not despair, there are a few things that you can do to thicken up your thin hair.
You are not alone in your quest for beautifully thick locks; a recent survey showed that over 80% of women wish their hair was thicker, fuller and shinier. For evidence of this just look at the hair products that are now available on the market. It is thought that roughly 50% of the hair-styling products out there are designed to add volume to thin hair. You can choose from shampoos, thickening sprays, mousses and more so it is easy to see how you can get lost in a sea of products. Hopefully this short guide will be of some use to getting the hair of your dreams!
First of all: you are what you eat. It may sound clich?d but eating a nutritious and well balanced diet is important for thick, healthy hair. You may also see an improvement in the health of your skin and your nails as a direct result of your new healthy diet. Hair is made up of protein so upping your protein intake can only have a positive effect on the health of your hair. You should also make sure that you are meeting your 5 a day fruit and vegetable quota so that your hair is getting all the vitamins it needs for healthy growth.
After taking a look at your diet the next thing to do is to go right back to basics and get the right haircut that will make your hair look fuller and thicker. The easiest way of doing this is to have layers cut into your hair in order to create volume and bounce. If your hair is long then you may want to try a shorter style as this will also give the appearance of thick hair. If you have straight then any sort of layered cut will boost thickness, but a blunt bob would be the most effective. If your hair is naturally curly then wear your layers underneath to create volume.
The next step is to assess the colour of your hair. Cleverly placed highlights will help to give your hair the appearance of volume and texture. The contrast that the highlights will create with your natural colour will give the illusion of depth and fullness. The more colours that you have in your hair then the thicker your hair will look as the colours will create texture.
Next you should ensure that you are using the right products for thick hair. You need to start at the very beginning by using volumizing shampoos and conditioners and then use a thickening styling agent that is best suited to your hair type. This may be a mousse, a thickening spray, gel or hair spray- whatever works best for your style.
Then you could try different blow drying techniques to boost your volume. You can experiment with a diffuser attachment with prongs that will lift your hair at the root and set your style. If you don’t have a diffuser then you could try drying your hair up-side-down to create natural volume.
If these tips fail to create thickness then it could be that your thin hair is the result of a medical condition and it is essential that you visit your GP for advice and potential treatment. However, sometimes hair thinning can simply be the result of aging or it can be a hereditary problem. In these cases there is little that a GP can do to help restore your hair to its former glory.
If you are in this situation then it may be about time you considered hair replacement. For the very best in hair thickening and hair replacement then you need Hairdreams.
