Thinning Hair Treatment

There are a variety of reasons why an individual’s hair may begin thinning. Certain illnesses or medications may also result in thinning of hair. It may even be hereditary.

The usage of harsh and harmful chemicals on your hair or even the fine texture of your hair may result in the thinning of your hair. Thin hair is also highly susceptible to breakage.

The thinning of hair can be treated effectively by proper hair care and some home remedies. First of all, wash your hair only when it is dirty. Wash your hair only twice a week using a mild shampoo and a conditioner, which helps in increasing the volume.

Avoid using flat irons, curlers or even blow dryers at high heat as they could potentially damage and break your hair. Also, the chemicals used on your hair for straightening it is quite strong, which could damage it even more. So, it’s best to stay far from it.

Massage your scalp for a minimum of about 10 to 15 minutes. This would improve the circulation of blood to your head, which in turn could strengthen the follicles of the hair and prevent hair thinning.

Massaging it with coconut oil, almond oil or castor oil would provide you with additional benefits. You could even soak or boil pieces of dry Indian goose berry with these oils in order to add to the thickness of your hair.

A paste prepared of lime seeds and pepper along with water can also prove quite effective in increasing the thickness of your hair. Certain volume- building products sold in the market consist of paraffin i.e. beeswax, which damages the hair by building up on it.

A paste prepared from an egg, milk powder and wheat germ oil nicely massaged on the scalp and kept for a minimum of 30 minutes too will help in treating thinning hair. Avoid back combing your hair and also combing it too often.

If all the above mentioned methods for thinning hair treatment don’t give you the desired results you can opt for a permanent light wavy hair, which could increase the volume of your hair (tighter waves tend to damage you hair). A proper hair care routine can go a long way in giving you that healthy, thick and shinning hair you all aspire.
