How to take care of your thick hair?
Having thick hair is lucky and women with thin hair would like it to be thicker. However, thick hair is not always easy to care for or style. Let’s take a look at which treatments work best for thick hair and which cuts are the most flattering. But also, how to have thicker hair.
What is thick hair?
Talking about thick hair can conjure up two things that sometimes come together. It is at the same time the hair thicker than the others, in circumference. But also the mass of hairs, in other words the number of hairs of a person.
In some, the circumference of each hair fiber and the number of hairs add up to create very thick hair.
But having thick hair does not determine the nature of the hair. So that one can have thick straight hair, thick wavy hair, or frizzy hair. Likewise, they can be dry or greasy.
Care of thick hair
Treatment according to the nature of your hair
To be beautiful, smooth and silky, thick hair requires special care. However, it is essential to accord your care with the deep nature of your hair.
So opt for a nourishing treatment if your thick hair is dry, or for an oily root treatment with dry ends if necessary.
Discipline thick hair
Nonetheless, there is one common denominator to all types of thick hair – they need discipline.
To achieve this, the best way is to sheath them. But not by using products containing silicones. They are absolutely not dangerous but, used too often, they end up choking the hair fiber. Which can no longer properly absorb healing afterwards.
So prefer natural and nourishing treatments such as shea butter as a mask. And this, whatever your type of hair. A frequency of once a week is sufficient to perfectly coat the hair.
On a daily basis, to discipline your hair before styling it, opt for a natural spray treatment. An aloe vera treatment will give your hair everything it needs for the day, sheathing and hydration.
What cut for thick hair?
Once again, the ideal cut depends on your type of hair, mainly straight or curly. And, of course, the shape of your face.
Therefore, for straight and very thick hair, it is better to avoid the parting in the middle and a square that is too short. Except for frizzy hair which can, on the contrary, play on this particularity. For other types of hair, prefer a long, more harmonious bob. But a hairstylist will help you determine the exact length that’s right for you.
Short, feminine hair works great with thick hair. This density allows many options for cuts and gradients.
With long hair, whether curly or straight, there are no limits as long as you have well-groomed hair.
Want to thicken your hair?
Densify your hair
Hair is 95% keratin. Keratin is a protein. For your hair, beauty comes mainly from the inside. To have denser hair, you have to nourish it. A healthy diet rich in good protein helps to keep them in good shape.
Hair can, however, be fine in nature. In this case, it is possible to strengthen them but not necessarily to thicken them. It will then be necessary to play on the strength and the volume in priority.
Grow your hair
The thinness of the hair can also be due to a lack of iron or to a medical condition such as a thyroid problem.
You may also experience hair loss. In this case, if it is sudden, the best is to consult your doctor who can refer you to a dermatologist.
But if you don’t have a particular problem other than a little seasonal hair loss, you can fix it. Sometimes simple actions and natural products are enough.
When shampooing, take the opportunity to gently massage your scalp with the fingertips. This will have the effect of stimulating the micro-circulation of the blood, which is at the origin of hair growth.
Castor oil is an effective natural ingredient in stimulating growth. You can apply it on your scalp by massage and leave it on for a few hours. Even all night, protecting your pillow with a towel.
