8 Ways to Thicker Hair

Protein Products

Add body with protein-based products. Hair is made of keratin protein so volumizers with protein attach to hair fibers and build body. Look for products with wheat, soy, and silk proteins.

Were fans of Ojon Hydrating Thickening Shampoo. Beware of overuse, though, as too much protein can make hair brittle.

Try a Diffuser Hair dryers, for the most part, blow air in a stream, which robs curls of their spring/waves of their body, making them look flat and stringy. For fuller waves, try a diffuser with prongs. Its great for adding volume. Flip hair upside down and use the prongs to massage your roots.Bonusits less damaging!

Be Gentle

Handle your hair with care.

Avoid brushing hair when its wet, and dont sleep with hair tied back. Your tossing and turning will cause breaking and thinning.

Also, steering clear of straightening, curling or over-drying will keep hair healthier, allowing it to grow faster.

Haircuts There are certain cuts that can add fullness to fine, limp, thin hair.If you have curly hair, shorter layers underneath will give hair lots of bouncy body. But be sure to have your stylist cut your hair with scissors rather than a razor, which can create frizz.Also, a blunt bob will help give you the appearance of thicker and fuller hair. Believe it or not, there are tons of bobs to choose from these daysthe lob, the inverted bob, the classicand all add volume by lopping off ends that are weighing hair down.

Velcro Rollers Note: Not hot rollers. Those are damaging. Setting hair with Velcro rollers gives hair unmatched volumeseriously. Four to six rollers at the crown of your head makes a huge difference. After hair is dry, wrap one-inch sections of hair around each roller toward the back of your head. Leave them on for at least 10 minuteslonger gives more volume. After unrolling, spritz with hairspray (we love Elnett) and shake out hair. Prepare for compliments.
