Growing Thicker Hair: Your Go-to Guide

Gorgeous, flowing hair is a sign of health and youth. But whether your hair is curly, straight, wavy, or fine, it can seem like volume and thickness is out of reach. What’s more, there’s a world of hair products to choose from. This makes it difficult to find the perfect products for you. Fortunately, all hope of thick hair is not lost once you know what to look for.

 

Every healthy hair journey starts with checking your diet to ensure your hair is getting what it needs from the inside – and then giving it a boost with the right hair-thickening products. In the meantime, volumizing styling products like mousse can go a long way to giving you a short-term boost.

 

It’s time to liven up your locks with a little help from some products and expert tips straight from the professionals at Hair Bar NYC. Let’s get into it. 

Decoding the Difference: Fine vs Thin Hair

The first step to getting thicker hair is understanding your hair type. Understanding the difference between fine and thin hair is key when selecting the right hair care products. 

Thin Hair 

When hair is thin, the hair strands on the head are positioned further apart, so there is actually less hair on the scalp. As a result, your hair may appear less thick or voluminous. For those with thin hair, volumizing products that add density and lift can be beneficial, aiming to create the illusion of fuller hair.

Fine Hair 

Fine hair is different from thin hair and refers to the thickness of each individual hair. When you have fine hair, your hair is delicate and soft. This can make it look “flat” and lack texture. With fine hair, it can be difficult to hold styles without a lot of product or clips. People with fine hair should go for nourishing products to enhance the thickness of each strand. The hair may appear more voluminous and full as a result.

 

Choosing the Perfect Hair Products

Choosing hair care products can seem like an impossible task. There are hundreds of options to choose from. But once you know what to look for, it’s easier to narrow things down. Speaking to your hair stylist will be helpful. They have a lot of experience in identifying your hair type and recommending different products. Hair stylists can also help you find science-backed hair products designed to enhance volume without adding weight.

 

Whether your hair is thin or fine, ingredients to watch out for are silicones, sulfates, and phthalates. These can build up on the hair and weigh it down, robbing it of the light movement so key to the voluminous look.

Empowering Your Journey to Thicker, Voluminous Hair

Finding the right strategy for creating a voluminous effect in your hair is often a case of trial and error since every head of hair is different. In the meantime, volumizing styling products like mousse can go a long way to giving you a short-term boost.
