Do you long for thick, luscious locks? 

Good news: you can get there by tweaking your haircare routine and the haircare products you use.

These easy, natural home remedies will help answer questions you may have on how to grow your hair out faster, how to make hair thicker and fuller, and how to get longer hair. These tips are also good for hair thinning and hair loss solutions.

Stick with these hair tips and you’ll be on your way to healthier, fuller hair in no time.

The way you wash your hair matters. Use gentle pressure to massage your scalp and the roots of your hair when washing. Don’t use your fingernails or wash your scalp and hair too harshly as this can cause breakage.

2. Avoid Over Washing Your Hair

Avoid washing your hair every day. Yep, you heard that right. When you over wash your hair, you’re stripping away natural oils that are produced by your scalp that keep your hair healthy.

If you feel your hair needs shampooing, try dry shampoo in between washings.

3. Know When to Brush Your Hair

Brushing your hair when it’s wet causes damage since your hair is more vulnerable to breakage and is fragile when it’s wet. If you need to brush your hair after showering, try letting it dry before brushing.

Brush your hair before bed to distribute your scalp’s natural oils to keep your hair moisturized. Make sure to brush from your scalp to your tips. Doing this keeps your hair healthy and can strengthen your hair by increasing circulation in your scalp.

4. Limit the Amount of Heat You Put on Your Hair

Using high-heat tools such as a hair dryer or styling tools thins out your hair. When heat touches your hair, it’s vulnerable to breakage and can actually slow down hair growth in the long-run.

Try letting your hair naturally dry and use styling tools for special occasions.

5. Avoid Hair Products That Contain Harmful Chemicals

Be sure to look at the ingredients in your hair products and avoid harmful chemicals such as sulfates and parabens. These chemicals act as cleansing agents and are found in other products like cleaning supplies and laundry detergent. Using hair products that contain these chemicals strip away natural oils and can harm the health of your hair, as well as cause hair breakage, dryness, and thinning.

6. Eat Foods Rich in Protein and Vitamins

Diet plays a big role on the health of your hair. Consuming foods rich in protein, vitamins, and nutrients help keep your hair strong and healthy, and promotes hair growth. These foods include:

– Eggs
– Seafood such as salmon, mackerel, shrimp, and oysters
– Meat such as beef and chicken
– Spinach
– Berries
– Sweet potatoes
– Avocados
– Olive oil
– Nuts and seeds
– Seaweed
– Legumes

7. Take Vitamins That Support Hair Health

Supplements and vitamins are a great way to support healthy hair and promote quick hair growth. Your hair is made up of proteins, so taking supplements that contain these important proteins and nutrients (such as amino acids), can make your hair healthier and stronger.

Here are supplements and vitamins that promote healthy, strong, thicker hair growth:

– Collagen
– Biotin
– Silica (horsetail plant or bamboo extract)
– Keratin
– Zinc

Taking Wholy Dose supplements that contain collagen, biotin, and silica will strengthen and thicken your hair growth, as well as improve your hair health, increase hair hydration and shine, and help with hair loss and thinning. You can view before and after photos of hair results from collagen, biotin, and silica horsetail.

8. Destress

Believe it or not, stress is a leading factor of hair thinning and hair loss, and can cause early gray hairs. 

Remove anything that triggers stress and find ways to destress whether that’s through exercise, meditation, sleeping, or as simple as taking a bath. Make self-care a daily ritual for you to unwind from stress.

Another way to destress is to take herbs and adaptogens that help reduce stress, such as matcha green tea or ashwagandha.

9. Don’t Forget to Trim Your Hair

While this may seem counterintuitive, trimming your hair will get rid of split ends that can cause hair breakage. Keeping your hair too long will cause your hair to pull from your scalp, which can lead to hair thinning and breakage.

Try to trim your hair every few months (or once a month) to keep it stronger and healthier, and stop hair from falling out.
