Basic rules for washing and drying hair
To wash your hair and provide it with minimal care, it is recommended to use a suitable shampoo and conditioner, and they should have the same name. In order not to bother yourself with searches, it is enough to purchase a ready-made set.
The ideal option is absolutely transparent, without dyes, sulfates, silicone and fragrances, cosmetics that are sold in a pharmacy or in a store for professional hairdressers.
It is not forbidden to add additional components to the shampoo on its own initiative. And if some women see their salvation in essential oils (sweet orange, ylang-ylang, patchouli, lavender, jojoba, geranium), others prefer to add vitamin complexes containing tocopherol, retinol and niacin.
Also, silk proteins are popular.
If not necessary, then you should stop using a hair dryer. The strands are combed only after they have completely dried naturally. Therefore, it is not worth working hard with a towel. All you need to do is lightly blot wet curls.
If you have a special tool to facilitate combing, you can use it.
The use of decoctions and infusions for rinsing of our own production is recommended, only after using them, rinsing your hair with water is not necessary. As a raw material for the preparation of homemade rinses, they use: chamomile, geranium, nettle, oak bark, yarrow.

Proper nutrition is the key to hair density and health
The use of cosmetics, even newfangled and expensive ones, is not a panacea, because the problem is “sitting inside”. To boast of thick hair, you should review your diet and introduce some products:
- seafood and fish, in which there is a lot of phosphorus, which is necessary to restore and increase hair density;
- fruits, vegetables, berries, herbs - "live" vitamins, without which no organism can function;
- easily digestible proteins (rabbit, chicken, calf meat, lean pork, egg white, fermented milk products) - this is a "building" material and a source of essential amino acids;
- flaxseed and oatmeal, from which you can make the most useful porridge, if you take these products in equal proportions;
- nuts - a handful of almonds, peanuts or hazelnuts will not harm the figure, and the hair will say "thank you" for PUFA, selenium and magnesium;
- any bran, beneficial to the whole body and thickening hair shafts due to the large amount of zinc in the composition.

How to make hair thick and thick at home
Folk remedies based on the use of natural ingredients help to achieve success: yeast, honey, medicinal herbs, natural oils.
Here are recipes for several popular masks to improve hair growth and make it thick and strong.
Yeast mask
The procedure nourishes and strengthens the hair, activates its growth, adds volume to the hairstyle. To prepare the medicinal composition, mix 1 tbsp. l. yeast from a briquette with chicken yolk and add herbal decoction.
For dark hair, a decoction of oak bark or St. John's wort is well suited.
For red hair - calendula, for light - chamomile decoction. After that, the mixture is placed in a warm place for 1 hour to activate the yeast. When a light foam appears on the surface, add 1 tbsp. burdock oil and a few drops (5-6) of any ether (lemon, rosemary, cedar). The mask is applied to the roots and hair along the entire length, insulated and maintained for 40 minutes.
In total, 10 sessions are recommended, which are done once every three days.
Rye mask
A very simple and effective remedy, take ordinary rye bread as the main ingredient. It needs to be soaked in warm water and kneaded into a gruel. Apply the rye mass to the hair and rub into the scalp, warm up and hold the mask for an hour. Afterwards, rinse the hair well, while using shampoo is not necessary, since the bread mass cleanses the hair very well.
Cedar mask
For its preparation, a handful of peeled pine nuts are thoroughly kneaded and a small amount of water is added. The result should be a thick mass.
Now you need to evaporate cedar milk from it, which contains a unique set of vitamins and useful microelements. To do this, the nut mass is transferred to a ceramic pot and placed in an oven heated to 150 ° C for half an hour. The resulting cedar milk is slightly cooled and rubbed into the hair roots in a warm form.
The procedure is recommended to be repeated daily for two months. This mask will significantly accelerate hair growth and make them stronger and thicker.
Honey and cognac mask
This recipe effectively restores the structure of weakened and thin hair, activates hair follicles for growth, nourishes and strengthens. First, mix the raw yolk with 1 tsp. liquid flower honey, then add 1 tbsp to this mass. l. quality cognac and burdock or castor oil.
The composition is rubbed into the roots and distributed through the hair, left on the head for 1 hour, warmed with a film and a towel.
Honey yeast mask
Promotes accelerated growth and renewal of hair, makes the hair thick and lush.
To prepare it, mix 100 ml of warmed milk with 3 tbsp. l. liquid honey and 2 tsp. pressed yeast. The mixture of components is left at room temperature for 1 hour to ferment the yeast.
Then the composition is applied to the roots and rubbed into the scalp. The mask is kept for 60 minutes, washed off with a mild shampoo.
Protein mask
If your hair is thin and quickly becomes oily, an egg white mask will help. To do this, break 3 eggs, separate the white from the yolk and beat. You can add a few drops of lemon juice or any citrus essential oil to the protein mass. The mixture is rubbed into the scalp, insulated and kept for 1 hour. Such a mask will help regulate the work of the sebaceous glands, eliminate excess oiliness and dry the scalp.
Rinse off the composition with cool water, since under the influence of hot water, the protein easily curls up and it is very difficult to remove it from the hair.
Fermented milk products masks
Soft masks made of kefir, yogurt, sour cream have a very good effect on the condition of the hair.They perfectly nourish, moisturize and stimulate hair growth and renewal. You can wash your hair with milk whey, from this the strands will quickly become stronger and thicker.
Take care not only of your hair, but also of the scalp, because the quality of the strands depends on its condition. Be sure to do a deep scalp cleansing once a week. Rinse your hair with a lightening shampoo and scrub off any remaining dirt and dead skin cells.
A home remedy can be used to cleanse and exfoliate.
What you need:
- 1 tbsp. a spoonful of coconut oil to moisturize the scalp;
- 2 tbsp. tablespoons of brown sugar for exfoliation;
- 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to cleanse dirt and sebum;
- 1 teaspoon of thick honey to saturate the skin with nutrients, useful enzymes and vitamins.
How to make a homemade scrub:
- Combine sugar, coconut oil and vinegar and stir until smooth. Before applying the product, knead the scrub with a fork.
- Dilute the scrub with a spoonful of honey and stir again.
- Dampen your hair and pat dry with a towel. Apply a quarter of your homemade product to a damp scalp.
- Massage in gently to loosen dead skin cells, dirt and sebum.
- After a few minutes, rinse off the scrub and apply hair conditioner to the roots.
Castor oil for thicker and thicker hair
Castor oil is the number one treatment for our hair.
It can help absolutely with any problems with them: loss, thinning, growth, dandruff, brittleness, etc.
What's in the line-up?
Castor oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, ricinoleic acid, vitamins E and A, as well as many minerals and proteins.
These substances help nourish the hair and scalp and increase blood circulation, which is important for promoting healthy hair growth.
How to use?
Scrub your scalp with salt or coffee, or brush your hair
- Take a few tablespoons of castor oil and rub it into the scalp, massaging it. Leave on for one hour and rinse thoroughly.
- This procedure must be done 2 times a week for three to six months.
But, this method is rather difficult to implement in practice. Castor oil is very thick and it will be very difficult to apply it, let alone rinse it off. Therefore, I advise you to mix it with thinner base oils in a 1: 1 ratio.
For example, with coconut, jojoba, apricot kernel oil, olive or avocado oil.
Essential oils for hair
As I already wrote, I am very interested in essential oils, and the more I delve into aromatherapy, the more I discover amazing facts.
Specifically on our topic, we can say that the correct use of essential oils can restore even the most ruined hair, save from baldness and even remove gray hair, restoring the natural hair color.
If you open the aromatherapist's guide, you will find quite a few essential oils that can stimulate new hair growth, improve its appearance and prevent breakage.
But the leading positions in this matter are occupied by: essential oils of cedar, rosemary, lavender and thyme.
How to use?
As a hair mask.
- Add 5 drops of one of these essential oils to 2 tablespoons of your base oil (coconut oil, jojoba oil, burdock, or whatever)
- Mix them together and massage into scalp. Leave the oils on hair for 1 to 12 hours and rinse thoroughly.
Such masks should be done regularly, at least twice a week.
Scalp massage to strengthen hair
Anyone who considers this method ineffective will lose a lot.
Scalp massage is one of the best remedies for all hair problems.
How to apply?
Just massage your scalp with your hands daily.You can do this as you like, you can knock with your fingers, you can comb it, you can lightly tug your hair.
This will increase blood flow and stimulate circulation, which is very important for hair health.
Do this massage for 5 minutes, twice a day.
And also do inverted yoga asanas, they increase blood circulation to the scalp and perfectly strengthen and heal hair.
Professional help
What to do in cases when all of the above methods have been tried, and the amount of hair on the head is still decreasing? The advice of professional stylists and salon procedures will help. You can use medicated shampoos to enhance hair growth and help strengthen hair. The specialist will advise on the right product.
In addition, in the salons you will be offered to take a massage course and make special masks that accelerate hair growth.
The most advanced and modern method by which you can become the owner of a thick and luxurious head of hair in a few hours is artificial hair extension. This procedure can be hot or cold.
Artificial strands are attached to the hair using special keratin capsules or the tape method. It all depends on your desire and financial capabilities.
Artificial curls are selected in color and texture, they practically do not differ from natural hair. They can be washed, dyed, curled, styled to your liking. The most popular are English, Italian and Spanish technology. What to opt for, you decide, together with the stylist.
The hair extensions are held tight, the joints are completely invisible, the artificial strands can be worn for up to 4 months. Then, as your own hair grows back, you need to make a correction.
