What Helps Thicken Hair?

No matter if your hair is fine or you require additional volume, we have you covered. Thickening up your locks doesn’t have to be impossible–all it needs are lifestyle adjustments.

Limit Heat Styling and Avoid Tight Hats and Ponytails

First, limit how often you blow dry your hair and steer clear of tight hats or ponytails that pull and damage strands. Consider microneedling as another means to stimulate your scalp and promote thicker locks.

Eat a Healthy Diet

Though there is no known way to permanently thicken hair without treating an underlying health issue, you can make lifestyle adjustments to improve overall hair health and gradually reduce it. These include eating nutritiously, using a sulfate-free shampoo, and forgoing heat-styling tools.

Your diet could benefit from more protein-rich foods, vitamins A and B, biotin, healthy fats, and zinc, such as nuts, avocados, eggs, whole grains, dark green leafy vegetables, and berries.

Consider Nutrafol and Supplements

Nutrafol may help keep your scalp and hair hydrated by providing essential hydration through water intake, helping reduce itching, dandruff, breakage, and thinning hair. Furthermore, supplements like Nutrafol, explicitly tailored to meet individual needs, may promote healthier scalps and thicker locks as its ingredients aid circulation to follicles, stimulating hair follicle growth and development.
