Hair Thickening Shampoo
Choosing and Using Hair Thickening Shampoo
For years hair experts have been searching for the perfect hair thickening shampoo. People with naturally thin hair may be looking to put a little more bounce into their flat ‘do. Or people whose hair has naturally thinned over the years may want to encourage hair growth and overall thickness. In this article, we are going to discuss the “magic” behind hair thickening shampoo and the brands chosen as the top “hair thickeners”.
Before spending money on different shampoos, it’s important to understand where your hair’s thinness comes from. If your hair is naturally thin and flat, there is a good chance that hair thickening shampoo will add bounce to your tresses. If your hair has begun thinning for other reasons, you should consider the source of the condition. Stress, iron deficiency, insufficient thyroid function, bad nutrition, as well as grief are all causes linked to hair loss or excessive hair thinning. If your condition could be related to any of the aforementioned causes, you might find better results by talking to your doctor to determine a more proper approach to treating your hair loss.
Hair thickening shampoos work to strengthen and increase the size of each individual strand of hair. Many of these shampoos are labeled as “volumizing” products. These shampoos are enriched with essential vitamins that encourage hair growth and proteins that strengthen each strand of hair to better resist breakage. Panthenol is a very effective pro-vitamin that helps to increase hair thickness. Hair experts often recommend choosing a shampoo that has this vitamin in it. Other helpful ingredients include silk – to prevent brittleness, witch hazel – to add flexibility to your hair, and wheat protein – to increase your hair’s vivacity.
One of the best rated shampoos for increasing hair fullness is Pantene Pro V’s “Full and Thick” shampoo. Most people who tested this shampoo said that they felt a huge difference in the softness and smoothness of their hair in addition to improving the overall appearance of thickness. This is a relatively cheap product—usually around four or five dollars per bottle—so it is definitely feasible for people of all budgets to acquire volumized hair on a regular basis.
Nexxus’s “Diametress Luscious Hair Thickening Shampoo” falls in as the second most popular brand of volumizing shampoo. Many people reported a very noticeable difference in the fullness of their hair. This shampoo has been proven to greatly enlarge the diameter of each strand of hair, so much to the point that some people reported that it worked TOO well on their particular hair. So, if you need just a little fluff to your ‘do, you might want to go with another product, as this one is more geared toward those who need a serious boost.
Bumble and Bumble’s “Thickening Shampoo” seems to be the third most popular shampoo for boosting hair thickness. It has a fairly steep price tag for an everyday shampoo (just over $20), but if you’re looking for super bouncy and manageable tresses, then it will be money well spent.
In addition to using a good volumizing shampoo, you might try choosing a shampoo that is gentle enough for daily use. Washing your hair on a daily basis will keep your hair from becoming oily, which tends to make thin hair look flat and generally unmanageable. A good conditioner that contains tea tree oil will also help lessen your hair’s oiliness. Try looking at vitamin serums specifically designed for weak or thin hair and use them as recommended in the instructions. Some hot oil treatments can also improve your hair’s suppleness and overall health when used weekly. Also, you can use a clarifying shampoo once or twice a week. This is a great way to ensure that your hair gets a regular cleanse of hair products and other build up that your normal “gentle” shampoo may not be able to catch.
