Along with a daily hair care routine, eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals. Sadly, unhealthy snacks won't provide the essential nutrients you need to keep your hair thick and healthy. Foods like eggs, fish, nuts and green leafy vegetables like spinach are great for hair health.
Avoid over-washing your hair or using harsh shampoos that could strip it of its natural oils. Instead, opt for a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Too many styling products can also lead to scalp buildup and clog pores.
Our advice? Wash your hair every two to three days and pay special attention to your scalp. Gently massage the shampoo in to clean your scalp thoroughly. Save conditioner for the mid-lengths to ends of your hair.
Split ends themselves aren't harmful. But if left unchecked, the split can travel up the hair shaft and lead to breakage.
Split ends are also a sign that your hair is dry and may be undernourished. Trim your hair every three months to get rid of split ends. And if you do spot them often, it may be a sign to double up on scalp massages, hair oiling and hair masking.
Want thicker hair? It may be time to drop the heat tools – hair dryers, straighteners, and curling irons. Constant heat styling can damage your hair, leaving it dry and limp.
But if you do need to use some heat on special occasions, take the necessary precautions. Before reaching for your blow dryer, squeeze out any excess water from your hair. For styling tools like straighteners and curlers, set the temperature to lowest heat setting. And one of the most important hair care tips: always apply a heat protectant before a heat styling tool touches your hair.
Hair health isn't just about topical products and treatments. You need to stay healthy from within to get a healthy and thick mane. One way to do so is to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. Experts believe that if you're dehydrated, your body will prioritise vital functions, leaving your hair without the moisture it needs. Proper hydration helps in keeping your scalp healthy, which in turn boosts hair growth.
Along with hair care tips and lifestyle modifications, below, we share some of the best volumising hair products to try.
One of the best volumising hair treatment techniques? Oiling your hair. It increases blood circulation which strengthens the hair follicles to produce thick and strong hair.
If you're new to hair oils and aren't sure where to start, we recommend trying the Indulekha Bringha Ayurvedic Oil. This natural and Ayurvedic remedy uses hair-loving herbs like bringharaj, amla, almond and coconut oil to strengthen your hair. It is also free of parabens and sulphates.

How to make hair thicker if it's super damaged and brittle? Start with the right shampoo-conditioner duo. We recommend the Dove Intense Repair Shampoo and Conditioner that not only cleanses but also works on strengthening your hair from within. It's also paraben-free and uses fibre actives to hydrate and repair your hair, leaving it smooth and healthy.
Using a hair mask once or twice a week after a hair wash is another way to get long, thick hair. Masks like the Dove 10 in 1 Deep Repair Treatment Hair Mask provide the extra TLC your hair needs. This mask also uses a formula that revives your hair's proteins to repair hair and leave it stronger and healthier. Simply leave it on for a couple of minutes post-shampoo and then rinse off.

If you're a fan of keratin treatments that give your hair a smooth and frizz-free finish, we've got good news. You can now experience the benefits of a keratin treatment at home with the Tresemmé Keratin Smooth range. It includes a shampoo and conditioner along with a hair mask and serum to create a complete keratin haircare routine for you.
If your hair is naturally oily, you do need to oil your hair to get all the goodness of haircare oils. Oils moisturise and nourish your scalp and hair to help give you thicker, smoother locks, while also keeping dandruff away.
If you have naturally fine hair, it's tough to change its natural texture -- that's when you turn to styling products! However, a good daily hair care routine can increase the volume of your hair as more active hair follicles lead to new hair. This gives the illusion of a thick, luscious mane.
Thicker hair is the result of multiple care regimens that also include maintaining vital nutrients for hair thickness. Sometimes adding supplements rich in vitamins E, C and K add to your micronutrient requirements, helping in healthier and thicker hair. However, it's best to consult a doctor before taking any supplements.
