How to Look Charming in Case of Thin Hair  There are many ways by which you can make think hair attractive so that it adds charm to your personality. Remember, thin hair should not be confused with falling hair. Thin hair means, that the hair is sparsely spaced. This may be due to heredity, or due to some illness like typhoid or malaria. Emotional stress or rough handling of the hair, excessive teasing or brushing can lea to thin hair also. Hair, whether it is thick or thin, straight or wavy, needs to be looked after. I will suggest 10 steps program here:
1. Using a mild shampoo clean the hair at least once a week.
2. Blow-dry it rather than set it in rollers.
3. A weekly massage with some warm oil will simulate blood circulation and thus improve the hair growth.
4. While going out, keep your hair protected from the sun.
5. Brushing and combining of thin hair should be done very gently. Gently brushing increases blood supply at the roots. Distributes natural oils and removes dirt and dandruff.
6. It's true that 100 strokes a day is very useful.
7. Vigorous brushing breaks the hair.
8. Use a bristle brush rather than a nylon one, starting from the nape of the neck to the hair ends.
9. Avoid use of brush rollers. Never sleep with the rollers on.
10. Avoid setting hair very tightly as the hair will look excessively curly and this will enhance the look of think hair.
Avoid using excessive hair spray on thin hair as it damages it.
Steps to Make Thin Hair Appear Thicker?
I will suggest a 20 points program to give a thicker appearance to the hair, in case the growth of hair is thin;
1. If you have light colored hair, you can color it a shade darker. It will match the scalp better and will help to cover it also.
2. Use a permanent tint, this will give the hair body, make it look fuller and give an appearance of over-all thickness. Permanent hair coloring will enlarge the shafts. The high alkaline content in these mixtures swells the hair and ruffles up the outside of the cuticle. The ruffling will make the hair stand away from one another, giving a look of additional fullness.
3. The pattern of the hair growth to produce thicker hair cannot be changed, but the diameter of the hair can be increased artificially by use of 'body builders' for the hair. [It consists of a spray-like solution made up of resin or plastic that coats the hair with a layer of a drying substance adding width to thin hair.
4. Protein shampoos and conditioners also help the hair have a thicker by depositing a coating of protein on the hair shaft.
5. Try to improve the blood circulation on the scalp by standing on your head for a short time or using a slant board, which will make your head lower than your feet and also increase the blood supply.
6. For good hair growth, the body requires a full supply of amino acids. It has often been seen that due to illness or stress, body does not receive the right supply of amino acids. There are special hair products available in the market, which contain all eighteen of these vital amino acids.
7. Diet plays a vital role in determining the health of the hair. Include a lot of protein in your diet. A poor diet causes thin hair.
8. Vitamin A capsules help the hair, but should be taken as per doctor's advice.
9. Enormous hormonal changes during pregnancy make hair thin.
10. A warm oil treatment will also help thin hair. Use warm almond, olive or coconut oil, and rub it with cotton wool. Leave it over night and then shampoo the hair next morning. Before shampooing if the hair is given a steam bath is helps the blood circulation and hair growth.
11. Always give thin hair a blunt cut and keep it short - the ideal length would be between the ear lobe and the chin.
12. If you have bangs, see that they do not fall straight into the face. Instead get your bangs premeds, as curly look adds fullness, to the appearance.
13. Try bangs coming from far back on the top of the head to camouflage the thin hairline.
14. If you have shoulder length or waist length hair, have a light perm to give the hair a bounce look. Even blow-dry gives a similar effect.
15. On thin frizzy hair work with it and not against it. Such type of hair looks best when they are short.
16. Part your hair where it falls naturally. Don't force them.
17. Don't style your hair in such a way that it is pulled hard.
18. Avoid wearing hair in a tight ponytail or chignon. Do not plait it too tightly as it will look straggly.
19. If you have long hair and wish to plait it - do so, but braid it loosely and decorate it with strands of flowers.
20.Trim your hair regularly, no matter what its length may be.
