How to Get Thicker, Fuller Hair: Tips and Tricks for Voluminous Locks

Who doesn’t dream of having thick, voluminous hair that turns heads? Whether your hair is naturally fine or you’ve noticed some thinning over time, achieving fuller hair might seem like a challenge. But with the right strategies, it’s possible to enhance your hair’s thickness and boost its overall health.

Nourish Your Hair from the Inside Out

Healthy hair starts from within. Your diet plays a crucial role in hair growth and thickness, so ensure you’re consuming the right nutrients. Foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins can help strengthen your hair and promote growth.

Protein: Hair is made of keratin, a type of protein. Incorporate lean meats, fish, eggs, and plant-based proteins like beans and lentils into your diet.
Biotin: This B-vitamin is essential for hair health. You can find biotin in eggs, nuts, seeds, and sweet potatoes.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fatty fish like salmon, as well as flaxseeds and walnuts, omega-3s can help nourish hair follicles and promote healthy hair growth.
Iron and Zinc: Both minerals are vital for hair strength and growth. Red meat, spinach, and pumpkin seeds are excellent sources.

In addition to a balanced diet, consider taking a hair supplement like the Vegamour GRO Biotin Gummies. These gummies are packed with biotin, folic acid, and other essential nutrients that support healthy hair from within.

Choose the Right Hair Care Products

Using the right hair care products can make a significant difference in the thickness and volume of your hair. Look for products specifically formulated to add fullness and strength to your locks.

A Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner: Opt for products that cleanse without stripping your hair of its natural oils. A good option is the Vegamour GRO+ Advanced Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner, which are designed to nourish the scalp and promote thicker, fuller hair. Infused with GROActive+ Complex, a plant-based compound that helps reduce shedding and visibly improve hair density, along with Niacinamide and Spanish Microalgae to promote a balanced scalp. The GRO+ Advanced Balancing Shampoo gently exfoliates the scalp whilst the GRO+ Advanced Balancing Conditioner contains marula oil to leave hair with hydration, shine and increased manageability. With consistent use, this duo helps promote thicker, fuller, and more resilient hair.

Hair Serums and Oils: Lightweight hair serums like the Vegamour GRO+ Advanced Hair Serum can be applied directly to the scalp to stimulate hair follicles and promote growth. Containing a plant-based formula, this serum features a blend of antioxidant-rich Rhapontic Rhubarb Root and Japanese BeautyBerry Extract that work to help improve hair density, along with Spanish Microalgae, a prebiotic superfood that hydrates to rebalance the scalp environment. Regular use can lead to denser hair over time.

Dry Shampoo: A good dry shampoo can add instant volume to your roots. It absorbs excess oil and gives your hair a lift, making it look thicker. It also buys you time in between wash days (more on this below).

Avoid Overwashing and Overstyling

Washing your hair too often can strip it of natural oils, leading to dryness and breakage. If your hair is fine or thinning, try to limit washing to 2-3 times per week. When you do wash your hair, use lukewarm water and finish with a cool rinse to help seal the hair cuticle, which can make your hair look shinier and smoother.

Overstyling with heat tools like blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons can also damage your hair and lead to breakage. If you must use heat, always apply a heat protectant spray and use the lowest heat setting possible.

Get Regular Trims

It may seem counterintuitive, but regular trims are essential for growing thicker, fuller hair. Trimming your hair every 8-10 weeks helps prevent split ends, which can travel up the hair shaft and cause breakage. Healthy ends make your hair look fuller and more voluminous.

Massage Your Scalp

Scalp massages are a simple yet effective way to stimulate hair growth. Massaging your scalp increases blood circulation to the hair follicles, which can help nourish the roots and promote thicker hair. Try massaging your scalp for 5-10 minutes a day using your fingertips or a scalp massager.

For an added boost, consider applying a few drops of the Vegamour GRO+ Advanced Hair Serum before your massage. The serum’s plant-based ingredients can enhance the effects of the massage, promoting fuller hair over time.

Protect Your Hair While You Sleep

How you treat your hair at night can impact its health and thickness. Swap your cotton pillowcase for a silk one to reduce friction and prevent breakage. If you have longer hair, consider using a silk scarf or a sleep cap to keep your hair protected and in place while you sleep.

Minimize Stress

Stress is a common cause of hair thinning and shedding. High stress levels can disrupt the hair growth cycle, leading to more hair in the shedding phase. Incorporate stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, or regular exercise into your routine to help manage stress and promote healthier hair.

Consider Professional Treatments

If you’re dealing with significant hair thinning or want to see faster results, you might want to explore professional treatments. Options like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, low-level laser therapy, or microneedling can help stimulate hair growth and increase thickness. Always consult with a dermatologist or trichologist to discuss the best options for your hair type and condition.

Achieving thicker, fuller hair is a combination of proper nutrition, the right hair care products, and healthy habits. By making small changes to your routine, you can significantly improve the health and volume of your hair over time. Whether you’re using targeted products like those from Vegamour or adopting new lifestyle practices, consistency is key. Remember, hair growth takes time, so be patient and give your hair the care it deserves.
