Some people naturally have thick hair, while others have fine. It’s important to note you can have healthy hair whether it’s thick or fine. Both have their plus points but a thicker, fuller head of hair is generally seen as desirable. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to change your genes and these are directly responsible for the type of hair you have.
However, that doesn’t mean you can’t increase the volume of your hair and make it appear thicker.Â
Consider Your Style
If you have thin hair then you need to look at blunt cuts. This will instantly make it look like you have more hair as your ends don’t taper away. It also ensures your hair is not too weighted down, making it look thinner.Â
In short, it’s time to visit your stylist.Â
Use Volumizing Products
It doesn’t matter if you have thick or thin hair, you need to take care of it by using natural products. The best way to do this is to get your stuff from someone that cares about hair, such as Oz Hair & Beauty. You’ll find plenty of products with natural ingredients. These are less likely to strip the oil from your head which can make your hair look thinner.
Alongside this, you can use natural products designed to volumize your hair, it will make it look thicker.Â
Condition Regularly
When choosing natural products make sure you also select moisturizing conditioning and use it regularly. In general, twice a week should suffice. This ensures your hair has all the moisture it needs which will help it to appear fuller.Â
Air Dry Whenever Possible
Air drying reduces damage done by heat-styling. It also boosts the volume of your hair by increasing the amount of air retained under and in your hair. This isn’t possible when you blow dry it and risk drying out your scalp.
You can also use a styling cream to help increase the waves in your hair, these boost the appearance of volume.
Hair Pastes
It’s possible to buy a thickening hair paste. You need very little paste to boost the volume, too much will increase the weight on your hair strands, making it appear thinner.Â
But, just a little can instantly make your hair look fuller and thicker.
Backcombing
If you split your hair at the sides and then backcomb it, you’ll effectively lift it off your scalp. Then, when you drop the rest of your hair over the backcombed sections it will instantly add volume, making your hair look thicker.Â
Touch-Up Your Roots
Sometimes your hair seems thinner because your roots are a lot paler than the rest of your hair. It tells you it’s time to reapply the dye. But, you can simply touch up your roots, making them appear darker and thicker without having to re-dye your hair.
Don’t forget, it’s normal to lose between 50-100 strands of hair a day. That’s part of the hair growing cycle. But, if you’re losing more than that or it’s not growing back, it’s worth checking with your doctor. This eliminates any other issues and allows you to concentrate on making your hair appear thicker.Â
