What is hair volume?
The quantity and density of hair follicles that emerge from each square inch of the hair surface determine hair volume. Our scalp typically has between 80,000 and 120,000 hair strands.

  • Medical issues
  • Stress
  • Hormonal changes.
  • Inappropriate Diet
  • Aging
  • Excessive Styling
  • Pollution
  • Extreme Anger

Hair thinning


Today, hair thinning is a very widespread issue. According to reports, it affects about 60% of men and 50% of adult women.


Normal post-menopausal incidence increases are now being observed in younger age groups due to problems like stress, headaches, anger, etc.

Procedures to thicken hair

The pomp of a hairstyle is determined by two parameters:
a. The thickness of the hair
b. The amount of hair on the head.
It is important to understand that the desired volume is not given by the absolute value of each of the quantities but by their optimal ratio.


For example, if your hair is very thin, even a large amount of it will not make it look full. This problem often occurs among blondes. The fact is that blond hair is the thinnest.


But don't despair, in any case. Still, when assessing the beauty of your curls, the main role is played not by quantitative indicators but by visual impressions.


Therefore, it is often enough to create the illusion of thickness. Another option is to use products that increase the amount of hair.

How to increase the amount of hair

Option one

Awaken the follicles. The number of hairs depends on how many hair follicles there are on the head. The number of follicles is determined genetically, so it is impossible to change it by any means.


But this does not mean that the situation cannot be changed.
The fact is that some of the follicles are in a dormant state; in order to increase the density of the curls, they need to be “awakened”. There are special means for this.

Option two

Extend the life of hair shafts. On average, the hair growth stage is two to four years, after which a short stabilization stage begins—fifteen to twenty days—and after this, the hair follicle spends about ninety to one hundred days without a hair.
With poor blood circulation in the scalp, curls weaken.


Because of this, the growth stage is shortened as much as possible, and the resting period becomes very long.
With proper care, you can change this ratio and prolong the period of hair growth. In this case, the number of simultaneously coexisting hairs on the head will increase.

How to make your hair thicker

Option one

Use special balms and shampoos.
That forms a protective sheath around the hair. Silicone-based products have this property. Silicone does not reduce the flexibility of the strands, but it protects them from various damages.

In addition, thanks to the thin film of silicone, each individual hair becomes thicker. Accordingly, the hairstyle becomes more voluminous.

Option two: 
“Fluff” the hair shaft.
A dangerous but effective way to increase the thickness of your strands. The cuticle (top layer) is formed due to the fact that scale-like cells fit tightly to each other.


It is thanks to this that healthy curls look smooth and shiny. But there are special chemicals that violate the integrity of the cuticle, causing the scales to puff up.

This allows you to slightly increase the thickness of the hair. Carefully If the cuticle is damaged, the hair remains defenseless. It quickly loses nutrients and moisture.



As a result, the strands become brittle, dry, and lose their healthy shine. Therefore, a rapid increase in volume soon leads to the fact that the hairstyle loses its beauty and strength.


Healthful curls

If you are interested in long-term results, you should not turn to miracle remedies whose manufacturers promise an instant, stunning effect.



Most likely, you will pay for this effect with the health of your curls. You can get fuller strands without spoiling them, but this will require long-term care.


As we have already found out, in order to increase the number of active follicles, you will need to provide them with good nutrition.



Moreover, shampoos and masks alone are not enough.

The following recommendations must be followed:

a. Watch your diet.

The food we consume daily significantly affects the condition of our hair and skin. A lack of nutrients can lead to undesirable consequences. Such as thinning hair and hair loss.


Therefore, it is so important that your diet contains enough unsaturated fats, protein, vitamins, and microelements.
It should also be taken into account that the lack of substances is not always effectively replenished by food.



Therefore, you should additionally take medications containing vitamins A and B. Vitamin E is also very useful for hair; it activates capillary blood circulation.

b. Take a course of iron supplements. 

They enhance the ability of blood cells to deliver oxygen, which helps activate dormant follicles.


But remember that you should take such drugs only with the permission of your doctor. Contact a trichologist before going to the pharmacy for them.

c. Increase your physical activity

It is known that high-quality physical activity accelerates blood circulation and improves metabolism throughout the body.


If you lead a predominantly sedentary lifestyle, you need periodic exercise. It doesn't matter what; anything will do: aerobics, morning jogging, dancing, and even light daily exercise will be a plus.

d. Choose high-quality,

Nourishing shampoos and conditioners that match your hair type. Don't forget about the periodic use of masks or nourishing serums.

In addition to improving your nutrition, do not forget about proper hair care.

e. Use combs.

Made from natural materials, making sure that the teeth do not scratch the skin.

f. Be sure to wear hats

In snow, rain, and bright sunshine. They will protect your hair from aggressive environmental influences.


g. Try to dry your hair
With a hairdryer or use a straightener or curling iron less often; heat treatment dries out your curls, making them look even less voluminous.


h. Avoid frequent chemical procedures:
Coloring, curling, straightening, etc. They spoil the structure of the strands.




i. Use Shampoos
That add volume Special shampoos and conditioners help quickly increase hair volume. These products contain beneficial amino acids, keratin, which supports the cuticle, and possibly silicone.


j. To get the desired effects,
You should regularly wash your hair with such shampoos and conditioners. Then a dense waterproof film is formed on the curls, which will make each hair thicker and more elastic.


k. Remember that the silicone film
Makes it difficult for oxygen to reach the hair shaft. To avoid unpleasant consequences, wash your hair several times a week with regular shampoos without silicone.


l. Shampoos
For volume can be found in the line of almost every manufacturer.

m. Medicines
Before purchasing such products, you should consult a specialist. It is best not with a hairdresser or cosmetologist, but with a trichologist.


Before treatment, it is important to correctly assess the condition of the curls and their qualitative composition.


This way, you will know exactly which macro and microelements your hairstyle lacks.


In addition, the doctor will tell you for sure whether your health condition is affecting the volume of your curls. Some diseases significantly slow hair growth.


If your hair is thin and lifeless due to hormonal imbalance, then shampoos, masks, and conditioners will not have the desired effect.


If your curls simply do not have enough nutrients or the functioning of the sebaceous glands is disrupted, pharmaceutical preparations will do a great job.


Further, the following useful tips can also be applied.

Tip-1: Get regular scalp massages.

Tip 2: Use a volumizing shampoo and
conditioner.

Tip 3: Choose hot towel therapy.

Tip 4: Consume a balanced diet.

Tip 5: Try home remedies.

Tip 7: Try yoga and other stress reduction methods.


Natural Techniques
1. The use of herbs will remove the thinness.

2. Application of essential oils will improve the thickness and shine.

3. Caffeine Rinse: By extending the anagen and development stages

of the hair cycle, caffeine may encourage hair growth and health.

4. By Using Aloe Vera

5. Applying Amla

6. Onion Juice

7. Use of eggs


It should be noted that 

"Without health, there is no fitness, no skin, and no beauty"
