Who doesn’t love to style and flaunt thick, strong, beautiful hair? But unfortunately, not all of us are blessed with thick, luscious hair. If you are looking for simple, practical and effective answers to the question, “How to get thicker hair?”, you have come to the right place. By applying a selection of specifically chosen products and making adjustments to your hair care regimen, you can transform your hair from thin and dull to voluminous and vibrant.

In this article, we are going to explore 13 different ways to make your hair look thicker and healthier. These are 13 simple and easy tips that anybody can try to get thicker hair without resorting to drastic measures or hair extensions.

  1. Consider a Trim
    2.

    If you have long and thin hair, despite putting in your best efforts, it may still look stringy. The weight of the length pulls down the texture! Restore some volume to your hair by taking off a few inches. By reducing the length of your hair, you're eliminating mass without sacrificing thickness, resulting in hair that appears naturally fuller.

  2. Introduce Highlights for Depth
    3.

    An effective method to add depth to your hair is through highlights and lowlights. The contrast in hair color generates shadows and depth in your hair, providing the visual illusion of increased volume. Coloring hair also contributes to its volume since the dye lifts the hair shaft to deposit color.

  3. Diffuse Your Hairline
    4.

    Never underestimate the power of makeup! You can create the illusion of a fuller-looking scalp by dusting your hairline with an eyeshadow that matches your hair color. By filling in the hairline, your scalp will feel like it has more hair.

  4. Know Your Product
    5.

    Strengthen your strands by using products that increase keratin production. As keratin is an essential protein for hair growth, it’s a crucial nutrient for those seeking to improve hair thickness. Key nutrients to stimulate keratin production include zinc, iron, copper, vitamin E, and vitamin B5. Ensure these vital nutrients are part of your diet or hair care routine to enhance your hair's fullness.

  5. Eliminate Product Buildup
    6.

    An additional method to promote hair growth is to use products containing salicylic acid to remove any residual product buildup. As a chemical exfoliant, salicylic acid breaks down any buildup that could obstruct proper hair growth. By eliminating this buildup, you pave the way for new hair growth. After removing any product buildup, be sure to use a hydrating conditioner to restore lost moisture.

A clever trick for mimicking the look of fuller hair is to use a dry shampoo. Since dry shampoos don't have any hold, they only add body and texture to your hair. Additionally, its oil-absorbing properties can absorb some moisture on the strands. It’s an excellent trick for achieving naturally voluminous hair without an overbearing product presence. Redken's Deep Clean Dry Shampoo is highly effective in absorbing impurities and creating natural-looking volume.

  1. Opt for Long Layers for Movement & Fullness
    2.

    To lend your hair more movement and the illusion of fullness, request your local Redken stylist to give you long layers throughout your ends. These layers provide a dimensional effect to the hair, enhancing its appearance of thickness.

  2. Select the Appropriate Tools

    3. When it comes to styling your hair for volume and fullness, it’s important to use the correct tools. For example, to achieve a voluminous blowout, a ceramic round brush is ideal. The ceramic coating helps to heat the hair to lock in any volume created, while the round shape of the brush adds movement and dimension to the strands.

  3. Innovative Blow Drying

    4. If your blow-drying routine doesn't involve an arm workout, then you need to change your approach. To create an airy volume, you need to lift the hair as you dry it. This upward motion seals volume at the roots and creates a lasting hold. Using a volumizing mousse can significantly enhance volume during blow drying.

  4. Switch Your Hair Partition

    5. Looking for an immediate boost in hair height? Simply change the way you part your hair. Altering your hair's natural parting can instantly add volume. Thank gravity!

  5. Avoid Serums
    6.

    While serums are great for infusing your hair with moisture, they aren't the best choice for those seeking volume and fullness. They are too heavy for finer hair types. Instead, opt for lightweight mousses or sprays while styling your hair.

  6. Create Fuller Braids
    7.

    Fed up with thin, lifeless braids? Make them appear thicker by gently tugging on the sides of the braid. By expanding the strands outwards, you can create the illusion of more hair in the braid, making it look significantly voluminous.

13. Use Texturizing Sprays

Usually, flat hair lacks texture or movement. To add body and depth to your strands, reach for a texturizing spray when styling your hair. Texturizing sprays provide body, hold, and depth without weighing down the hair. Redken's Max Hold Hair Spray is the ultimate product for creating airy texture and effortless voluminous hair.

Achieve your dream of flaunting luscious, thick hair by transforming your hair care routine and adding a few hair care products from Redken to your regimen to boost and enhance your strands.
