Masks for hair thickness

Hair can be beautiful and long, but if it is thin, it is unlikely to suit its owner. A thick braid has always been considered an attribute of femininity and attractiveness, but nature has not endowed everyone with such wealth from birth. There is no need to despair; you can take effective measures that will make your hair irresistible.

How to make hair thick

It would seem that what is given by nature can only be corrected artificially. This is correct, but only partly. Hair may be the same thickness from birth, but become noticeably thinner with age. This happens for many reasons, but one thing is clear, some hair follicles go into hibernation, and in order to make your curls thicker, you need to wake them up. If the hair is thin and this is the result of heredity, then the only way to make the curls thicker is to thicken the hair itself. As a result, the hair will look thicker.

To awaken dormant bulbs, you can use a scalp massage technique. The effect of such a procedure will be much stronger if you use various means in addition. For example, cedar oil. It should be applied to the scalp in a small amount and gently massage the head with your fingertips, as if rubbing it in. The duration of the procedure is about fifteen minutes. At the end you need to wash your hair.

If you wash your hair every day, then for the massage mixture you can use a mixture of burdock oil in the amount of a small spoon and a couple of spoons of lemon juice. After massaging your head, this mixture should be washed off your hair immediately.

Another healing composition for hair that will make it thick is prepared as follows. Grind the herbs rosemary, basil, sage and mint in equal quantities and place them in a glass container. Pour in a couple of glasses of apple cider vinegar, add three drops each of lavender and mint oils, cover with a lid and let sit for a couple of weeks. The finished composition is used as follows: in a glass of warm boiled water, dilute a couple of large spoons of the prepared infusion and, while doing a massage, rub everything into the dermis of the head. This procedure is carried out once a week. It is not necessary to wash it off your hair, but if necessary, you can wash your hair after a couple of hours.

There is also a summary of rules and tips that are proven by experience and scientifically proven. All of them help improve the condition and thickness of hair.

• Watch what you eat. The result you see on your hair is the end result. The hair follicle is nourished through the blood, and the condition of the blood is determined by your diet. Healthy foods are good, but your hair needs vitamins A, B, E, and C to make up the bulk of its nutrition. So check to see if the foods that make up your diet contain them. 
• Excessive use of styling products negatively affects the condition of the hair. In addition to the fact that they begin to weaken, become dull, split, their thickness also suffers significantly. If you cannot do without such accessories, then try to select them that are most suitable for your type of curl.
• To visually increase the thickness of your hair, you can use simple curlers. It is better if these are simple curlers, not thermal ones. Since in the latter case, although the effect is achieved quickly, the hair structure suffers greatly from them.
• Avoid frequent washing of your hair, it has a very bad effect on it, making it weak and dull.
• Hair coloring plays a good role in the case of increasing its volume. At the moment of transformation, pigment enters each hair, which increases its thickness. Visually, a painting technique such as highlighting will help to add thickness. You just need to remember that cheap and low-quality dye only makes your hair worse, so don’t skimp on yourself and buy products from reputable manufacturers.
• Hair should be washed with water that has been previously boiled or at least filtered. The water temperature should be warm, but not hot.
• In winter you need to wear hats, and in summer you need to wear hats that protect from the sun's rays. Hypothermia, like overheating, has a negative effect on hair.

It’s not at all difficult to follow these rules, but your hair will certainly thank you for this attitude.
