Tips for Thicker Hair

And when it comes to looking great, it’s about more than just the cut of your hair: the color, health, and quality of your hair matter too. For this blog, we’ll give you a few tips for keeping your hair thick, luscious, and strong.

Embrace Olive Oil

Your hair needs proteins and fats to stay healthy and strong, and one great source is olive oil, which can help to boost the thickness, shine, and luster of your hair. Just heat up some olive oil in a dish until it’s warm, then run it through your hair, massaging it to spread it evenly into your hair and scalp. Leave it for about 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with a mild shampoo. You can use this treatment once or twice a week.

Castor Essential Oil

If you haven’t already learn to love essential oils, now is the perfect time, and castor oil is great for maintaining thick vibrant hair. Mix together a few drops of castor oil per tablespoon of coconut oil, then massage it evenly through your hair. Cover your head with a moist towel, then leave the mixture for at least an hour. Shampoo your hair as usual, performing this treatment once a week.

Eat Dark Greens

Oils aren’t the only road to thicker hair: to create thick, healthy hair, your body needs to have the right nutrients. Make sure you’re eating a healthy, balanced diet, and load up on dark, leafy greens. These are rich in iron, which helps to improve the thickness and volume of hair.
