There’s lots to love about fine strands but on a bad hair day those silken tresses can become limp, lifeless and difficult to style. In these lackluster moments, thick, bouncy locks may seem a million miles away—but don’t despair! This complete guide will show you how to thicken hair naturally and lead your own rescue mission.
What exactly is fine hair? When experts talk about fine hair, they’re referring to the diameter of each strand, rather than the amount of hair. This is mostly genetic, however, lifestyle factors can make a difference to the quality of your strands, leading to breakage or hair loss. So, when asking how to grow thicker hair, we need to identify the potential causes of thinning to counteract them and promote healthy growth.
As well as feeling great, regular head massages exfoliate and increase blood flow for a healthy, happy scalp. This creates the ideal conditions for strong growth and a fuller head of hair. Apply your shampoo as normal, then deep clean with a scalp massaging brush two to three times a week.
Thickening shampoos are the obvious answer to the question of how to increase hair thickness. They work by infusing the shaft with moisture and adding a look of fullness and body: try our Fructis Grow Strong Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner. Or you may want to volumize with our Full & Plush Shampoo and Conditioner which lift strands, one by one, for healthy-looking thickness and plush softness. Make sure to only apply conditioner to the mid-shaft and ends to avoid weighing down the hair. Discover more volumizing tips and the best products for fine hair in our practical guides.
