What to do to make your hair thick and shiny: 10 main rules

Having fine hair isn't always a problem when it comes to quick drying, few styling products, and long-lasting hairstyles. However, if you want to improve the quality of your hair and show off your volume, you need to rethink your care routine.

Trichology experts Philip B and Kerry Yates told IPSY's editors 10 rules that will help in this mission (scroll to the bottom of the page to see the photos).

1. Shampoo for volume. Usually, women with thin hair choose shampoos for restoration or shine, but it's better to shift the focus to ones with a volume effect.

2. Hair thickening products. When choosing a mask, spray or balm, it is better to focus on products that will visually fill the strands, thickening them.

3. Diet. Hair growth and quality depend on nutrition, so you should include foods high in fatty acids, proteins, and vitamins A, B, C, and E in your diet.

4. Peeling. The scalp, like the face, sometimes needs additional cleansing when dirt, grease, dust, and styling residues accumulate at the roots. If you ignore this step, your hair will grow slowly.

5. Thermal damage. One of the causes of problems with hair growth and quality is the abuse of low-quality thermal tools like hair dryers, curling irons, and straighteners.

6. Morning shampooing. Additional care in the form of leave-in conditioners and balms will help to visually improve your hair immediately after styling, while a night's sleep will negate all their beneficial properties.

7. Cold air. If you are in a hurry and need to dry your hair, it is better to use the cold air function. It will take longer, but the strands will definitely be intact.

8. Massage. To stimulate the blood circulation of the scalp, you can use the services of a masseur or do a massage at home. Even a regular comb will do the trick.

9. Haircut. Hair deteriorates over time even with the best care, so you need to cut it regularly. Healthy strands are a sign of well-groomed hair, and split ends will not help create the illusion of long hair.

10. No tight hairstyles. A hard elastic band, excess accessories, and pulled strands can damage hair and cause breakage.
