7 Quick Fixes to Make Your Hair Look Thicker and Healthier
Dry Shampoo: One mistake women make is washing their hair too much. This strips the hair of its natural oils. Try washing your hair every other day or every 3 days and use a dry shampoo in-between. Giving your hair a break from shampooing will allow the natural oils to come out. An added benefit is dry shampoo doubles as a volumizer giving your hair texture and body.
Natural Boar-Bristle Brush: A bit pricey but worth it. Stimulates the blood circulation to the scalp which promotes growth plus will distribute the natural oils to increase shine.
No-snag elastic: Skip the thin hair elastics; they put tension on the scalp. Instead use the thick no-snag elastic which is gentler on the hair and not as tight so eliminates the tension.
Cold water rinse: Hot water can dry out hair and leave it looking dull. After shampooing and conditioning rinse with cold water, which closes the cuticle and allows light to reflect off the hair making it shine.
Micro-fiber towel: To reduce damage and frizziness, gently blot hair. Avoid wringing your hair with a towel after you get out of a shower, wet hair is more fragile. Using a micro-fiber towel and blotting instead of wringing minimizes breakage and fall out.
Get a trim: Getting a trim every two or three months will make your hair look healthier.
Ionic hair dryer: This is one of the best options for protecting your hair from damage by using negative ions to eliminate water molecules instead of cycled heat.
