How to have thick hair?

Hair is a woman's natural beauty and charm. Many women dream of having thick hair or of gaining thickness. With these tips, say goodbye to flat, thin hair.

What is thick hair? What does it mean to be thick?

Hair thickness is determined by two parameters: hair density and the diameter of a hair shaft. A dense hair has a large number of hairs (more than 150,000) present on the scalp.

Every day, naturally, we lose about 100.

On a normal scalp, more than 80% of the hair follicles produce hair.

Abundant density will therefore depend on the number of these follicles.

Thinning hair indicates low hair production by the follicles.

Apart from density, the diameter of a hair strand also contributes to whether the hair is thick or not. Generally, this diameter is between 50 and 100 micrometers.

To get 1 cm of thickness, you will need to hold 100 to 200 strands of hair between your fingers.

This will result in fine, medium or thick hair.

However, a person can have thin hair with a lot of density, or have thick hair, but very little volume.

 

Avoid chemicals to give the illusion of thickness and keep your hair thick

It is important to know the category of your hair to be able to provide the right care and satisfy your need for thick hair.

If you have thin hair and flat hair, avoid chemical colorings which promise volume but in fact have the opposite effect.

This type of hair is not resistant to chemical components which only weaken it, make it thinner and even damage it in the long term.

You can gain volume by playing with texture when styling, for example, by curling your hair.

A cut adapted to the thickness can also provide more hold.

 

The coloring 100% vegetable: the solution to gain thick hair

If you want to make a color to thicken your hair, choose the coloring which actually adds thickness to the hair.

Women with fragile hair can rest easy, as the 100% plant-based coloring provides optimum care and at the same time adds a lot of body and thickness.

The coloring is made up exclusively of plant-based ingredients: henna, Indian ayurvedic powders, indigo, etc.

It respects the nature of the fiber capillary. It moisturises, nourishes and gives shine.

And that's not all, dye plants have a sheathing power.

This property increases the diameter of the hair, in other words thickens it.

Everyday tips to make your hair denser

To complement the hair densification treatments offered by your hairdresser, there are a few easy tricks you can do in the comfort of your own home.

Dry your hair upside down

To densify hair quickly and effectively, dry hair upside down while simultaneously scrunching the hairline in circular motions to loosen the base.

Once the base of the hair is dry, dry the lengths upside down to give them maximum volume.

Massage your scalp

Using your fingertips, massage your scalp daily for about 10 minutes, from the back of your neck to the top of your head.

This scalp massage helps to stimulate the microcirculation of the blood and to strengthen the internal structure of the hair.

Make sure you eat properly

As with your physical health, a healthy, balanced and varied diet is essential for the health of your hair and to make it thicker.

Eating foods rich in vitamins and minerals promotes the growth of stronger, thicker hair.

Foods such as green vegetables, those containing beta-carotene, iron, zinc, proteins and essential fatty acids help the production of keratin, which is essential for normal hair activity.

If you do not get enough nutrients from your daily diet, you can use food supplements to make up for any deficiencies.
