From thin hair to a fuller mane with these tips!

Unfortunately, not all of us are blessed with a beautiful full head of hair. Do you suffer from thin hair yourself? We've put together some tips for you. Fun to try out for yourself to create a seemingly fuller mane.

What is thin hair?

We speak of thin hair if you have less than 100,000 hairs on your head or your hairs are thinner than 0.06 millimeter. Your hair looks a bit thin and feels that way too.  

Possible causes of thin hair

What causes thin hair? There are several reasons why hair can be thin. You can be born with it, or you can suddenly suffer from more hair loss than usual. It is normal to lose about fifty to one hundred and twenty hairs per day. If you lose more hair, your hair will become a bit thinner. Below we list the most common causes of thin hair for you: 

• Heredity 
• Poor sleep 
• Poor nutrition 
• Brushing wet hair 
• Stress 
• Hormonal changes, for example due to pregnancy or menopause  
• Blow-drying or styling, too hot and/or without using protective products
• Medication 
• Illness 

Can thin hair become thicker?

Can you do something about thin hair? Fortunately, yes! Give your hair the optimal chance to grow, prevent damage and use the right products. Our tips and advice: 

1. Eat healthy! 

Good nutrition is important in many ways, but it also certainly does something for the health of your hair. It is important that you get enough vitamins and minerals. Especially vitamin B and zinc ensure that the hair is strong and grows. Therefore, eat plenty of vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamin B. Zinc can be found in nuts, cheese and shellfish, for example. 

2. The right cut! 

Play with different color shades and cut the hair to one length. It is often said that cutting layers gives more volume. But with truly thin hair, it's best to try to keep the bottom full. A bold bob, for example? It's also one of this year's hair trends! 

3. Good care! 

Use a shampoo specifically developed for thin and lifeless hair. A volume shampoo gives the hair extra strength. A wonderfully fresh volume shampoo is the Spa Fresh Volume.  

4. Styling with a kick! 

With the right styling products, you can create a lot of volume. Use firm products such as a strong foam and finish spray, a wax or paste with a long-lasting hold or a volume powder. The latter is truly the best invention ever for fine and lifeless hair! It makes your hair beautifully full and provides super grip and hold.  

5. Not too hot!  

Don't set your hairdryer or straightener to maximum. This makes the hair break faster. Always use a good heat protector and set the hair dryer or straightener to the lowest possible temperature. 

6. Upside down!  

A simple but golden tip, we think! Dry your hair upside down. Hello volume!  

7. Dry first, then brush 

It's better to brush your hair before washing, or wait until it's dry. Wet hair breaks much more easily than dry hair. Also, avoid rubbing it dry with a towel. This can also severely damage your hair.  

8. Sun protect  

The sun on your skin feels wonderful, doesn't it! Unfortunately, strong UV rays are not only bad for your skin but also for your hair. Seek shade, use special sun protection, or wear a hat or bandana.

Unfortunately, we can't perform miracles, but with these tips, you'll surely be able to give even the thinnest hair a boost!
