10 Things To Do That Will Make Your Hair Thicker

Must read

For many of you, you may have a lot of hair, but it just happens to be a lot of very fine strands. This gives off the appearance that your hair is flat and dull, which can be very hard to style (who doesn’t want that Victoria’s Secret Angel blowout?) exactly how you want to. Never fear though, because broken down the top tips and tricks to getting your hair to new heights – and to faking the thickness that we all know you want.

Shampoo: Opt for a more invigorating  shampoo that will really get the follicles on your scalp to perk up.  Try Lush’s Big shampoo ($26, lushusa.com) for a thick root look. Really work your shampoo onto your head too by massaging your scalp, stimulating blood flow.

Conditioner:  Here is where a lot of products that weigh your hair down get snuck into your daily routine.  Steer clear of anything that says “hydrating” and “smoothing” on the bottle because these most likely have oils in them that will keep your hair from gaining volume.

Blowdrying: First step, spray a heat protectant all over hair.  Be sure to flip your head over and start blowdrying with a round brush.  After the dampness is gone, flip the hair back over and begin to blow dry the rest in sections.  Make sure to have a diffuser on the end of your dryer to give hair an amped-up vibe.

Velcro Rollers: After blow drying hair, set front pieces in velcro rollers and clips for about 20 minutes to maintain high volume.

Tease: Let the rollers out and lightly tease the parts of hair at the crown of your head.

Root Lifter:  After teasing, spritz a small amount of root lifter in your hair to make sure your roots stay up.  This can be in either mousse or spray form just make sure not to put in too much product to work against you and weigh hair down in the process

Hairspray:  Look for hairsprays that have thickening or volumizing agents built into them to help with your fine hair. Use them to set your overall look.

Layers: The next time you head to your salon to get your hair cut, give layers a try. By layering sections of hair, a texturized look is created which gives off the sense of thicker hair.

Brushing:  Don’t brush your hair too often, this stimulates oils from the scalp which will make hair flat.  If you must fix your hair with some sort of a tool, opt for a wide-tooth comb.

Washing Your Hair: We know you have probably heard this about three thousand times but do not wash your hair everyday.  You will benefit from this by getting fuller looking hair at the roots, and just use dry shampoo in-between washes!
