4 Quick Ways To Get Thicker Hair

Posted: 02-28-2013 - More Hair Care Articles

Thick, voluminous hair is a style that many want, but not all of us were born with a head full of thick hair. Thankfully making fine, limp hair look thick and full is relatively easy. Here are some ways to get thicker hair naturally and by using styling products.

1. Strengthen With Amino Acids

Since hair is made up of protein, give your strands a boost by eating more protein. When hair is properly nourished with amino acids, it's less likely to break. A healthy diet and a supplement with amino acids can strengthen and rejuvenate thin hair.

2. Get Layers

Hair that is all one length tends to look flat. Getting a layered haircut can help give hair more volume and body. On the other hand, layers can also thin out heavy hair. If you want your hair to appear thicker, it's best to let a trained stylist give your hair layers rather than trying to cut your hair yourself.

3. Brush With Care

Brushing hair too vigorously can cause strands to snap and break. Over time this can make hair appear thin and unhealthy. Only use a brush when hair is dry. Brush hair gently while styling, and use a wide-tooth comb to detangle while hair is still wet or damp.

4. Get Thicker Hair Instantly

If your hair tends to fall flat, you can create thicker, more voluminous looking hair by styling with the right products. Start by washing hair with a thickening shampoo and conditioner. When styling, apply a root boosting volumizing mousse and blow dry hair using a ceramic round brush to lift hair at the root.
