A person can have thin or feeble hair owing to a number of factors, including genetics, certain medical conditions, aging effects, and hormonal changes, among other reasons. Although anyone can experience hair loss for certain reasons, it is more common in men. Moreover, you must be aware of the fact that hereditary hair loss is believed to be the most common cause of baldness in young people.

There are individuals who remain bothered because of their thin and feeble hair, and they always feel like they are going to lose their hair anytime very soon. However, it is not a condition that cannot be treated. It is a fact that one cannot alter the size of their hair follicles by any means, but they can definitely add volume to their hair and maintain its health.

In this article, we will be telling you how you can thicken your hair with a number of trusted and safe natural remedies. So, if you are also one of those folks who remain bothered about their thin hair and apprehensive about losing them, you must go through this article to its last word. Here are some tips and suggestions that can give you thicker and stronger hair without having to treat them with any hazardous chemicals:

1. Increase Your Intake of Healthy Fats:

According to expert doctors and healthcare providers across the globe, the food on your plate dictates everything about what you look like, how you feel, and what you think. Moreover, a recent study shows that a healthy meal rich in fatty acids may work wonders for your hair growth and health. You must be aware of the fact that a healthy diet rich in fatty acids not only prevents hair fall or breakage, but it aids new hair growth and reduces scalp inflammation as well. Also, it can add great and healthy volume to your hair and make it much stronger and more beautiful. So, you must consider adding some avocados, whole eggs, salmon, and other healthy fats as well as omega 3s to your everyday diet.

2. Avoid Heat Styling Your Hair:

Heat styling irritates dry and breakage-prone hair the most, beyond a shadow of a doubt. If you feel that heat styling is thinning your hair or causing other damage to it, you must stop it right away without a second thought. You can instead opt for air-drying as a safer alternative to heat styling.

3. Brush Your Hair From Ends to Roots:

Poor hair brushing technique can cause irreversible damage or breakage. First of all, you should make sure that the brush you use is suitable for your hair. The next thing you should keep in mind is to use the 'bottoms-up' technique to comb your hair, which means you should begin detangling your hair from the bottom up. Most hair specialists and experts believe that when you start brushing your hair from the ends, you intrinsically have less surface area to untangle at a time. This can keep your hair from the damage caused to it while brushing. You must also be extra careful and gentle while combing your scalp or ends because that is where the breakage occurs.

4. Give Your Scalp Frequent Massages:

You must recognize the fact that massages are not meant only for relaxation. In fact, certain studies have shown and proven that frequent scalp massages can give you thicker as well as stronger hair. One of the easiest and best ways to massage your scalp is to use an in-shower scalp brush. Moreover, it is recommended that you give gentle massages to your scalp at least twice every week for best results.

5. Try Shampooing Your Hair with Lukewarm Water:

Just like using heat tools or heat styling, shampooing or washing your hair with too hot water can also cause damage to your hair. According to hair experts, super hot water may potentially dry out your scalp and strip it of all its natural oils. This can cause great damage to your hair, which in turn can make your hair thin and lifeless. So, it is best to always wash your hair with lukewarm water when you are shampooing it.

Conclusion:

Apart from what is mentioned above in this article, there are numerous other tips and methods that can give you thicker and stronger hair. So, if you think these suggestions are not working for you by any means, you must consult a hair specialist who can examine your hair and give you better advice in this regard.
