Many of them are available at home and will allow to refuse the services of expensive salons. So let's talk about how to make hair thicker at home.
The reasons why the hair looks less dense.
Let's first understand, why the hair looks thick. The most important factor is the amount of hair. Each of us has this number genetically, but on the average it is 100-150 thousand hair follicles on the head. The hair follicle (hair follicle) is the root of the hair, each hair follicle has one hair. Every day, we lose about 150 hairs. Increase the number of follicles can only be surgically done, and this method is used mainly in baldness, so in order to make hair thicker, it will not work. But do not forget about the possibility to reduce the amount of lost hair - eliminate adverse factors, such as drying with a hot hair dryer, unfavorable weather conditions, severe stress or frequent staining. Also, do not exclude the possibility that some hair follicles are in a dormant state and their awakening can increase the density of the hair. Wake hair follicles can be using special stimulating drugs, combining them with a head massage. By the way, head massage can be done using special massagers. Massage will not only awaken the sleeping follicles, but will also have a toning restorative effect on the microcirculatory pathway in the area of the hair bulbs.
The second factor that makes our hair look thicker is their thickness. The thicker each hair, the more splendid and thicker all the hair. You can work with the thickness of the hair, for this there is a wonderful remedy - colorless henna. The increase in the thickness of the hair occurs by creating a thin colorless film on its surface. The thickness of the film itself is small, but if it is multiplied by the total amount of hair, a significant increase will be obtained. After 2-3 treatments of henna hair, splendor and gloss are added. For home use there are special masks with colorless henna, use them according to the instructions and according to the type of your hair, the result will not disappoint you.
Make hair more dense and increase the speed of their growth. The most important reason for slowing hair growth doctors think is a lack of vitamins, namely groups A, B, E and C. Here is a simple table on which you can find products:
- B vitamins are found in the liver, yolks of chicken eggs, grains and some nuts;
- The content of vitamin A is greatest in orange and red-colored vegetables and fruits, such as persimmons or carrots;
- Vitamin E is found in fresh fish, nuts, sunflower oil and sunflower seeds;
- Vitamin C is found in large quantities in rose hips, citrus fruits and spinach.
Ready-made vitamin complexes are easier to buy at the pharmacy, they contain a selected dosage and composition.
Folk remedies. How to make hair thicker at home.
We turn to folk methods. The basis of traditional therapy for hair and scalp has always been considered burdock oil. Although burdock is also known as a weed plant, the oil from it is very valuable and has positive properties. It affects the metabolism in the scalp, strengthening the capillary circulation, feeding the roots and strengthening the structure of the hair. Here is the most common recipe for its use: wash your hair with warm water and dry it with a towel. Then the burdock oil is divided into 3 parts, 1 part must be rubbed into the roots of the hair, and the two remaining evenly distributed throughout their length. After this, you must put a shower cap or plastic bag on your head, which is wrapped with a towel. Oily masks usually make courses 4-5 times, between courses take breaks in 2-3 weeks. Even professional hairdressers note the positive effects of masks based on burdock oil. There is also a scientific explanation - in oil of burdock contains a lot of fat-soluble vitamins and phytoncides.
You can safely use other folk remedies. The following composition very well affects the appearance of the hair and tones the scalp. Take:
- two tablespoons of a mixture of dried leaves of mint, sage and basil;
- a mixture of a few drops of lavender oil and two glasses of natural apple cider vinegar.
Mix and insist for at least two weeks, then strain this mixture. Once a week, rub 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the scalp, it is recommended to wash it off the next day. In a dark place the mixture will be stored for up to six months.
Professional methods at home.
Do not forget about shampoo - we use it every day and its influence on the type of hair is undeniable. Our shampoos bought in the store are just a means to remove dirt from the hair and are usually unable to provide either active care or protection after washing your head. There are professional shampoos, which are rather not a means of hygiene, but are closer to medicines. The effectiveness of professional hair care products is based on individuality. All manufacturers of such products in detail classify hair on various grounds, so there are shampoos for thin, colored, fatty or dry hair, the enumeration can be continued indefinitely. The exact choice depending on the type of your hair and is the cause of effectiveness. Professional hair care line is a whole complex, which usually includes shampoos, professional balms, masks and various styling products. Hair balm is used to protect against mechanical damage, it will not let your hair get tangled, will make it more docile. Balm can restore hair damaged by unfavorable factors. Do not use it often, because you can get the opposite result - the hair will be untidy and have a greasy sheen.
The choice of a suitable means to increase the splendor and density of hair will be yours. Do not think that real hair care is possible only in specialized salons, you can give your hair the real care.
