Thin hair can be something that you have inherited from your parents. Sometimes the stress filled lifestyles that we lead and the pollution that we subject our hair and skin to, are also factors that can cause the thinning of hair. It is not impossible to achieve your dream of having thick, shiny and bouncy hair. However, if you really want this you should be prepared to be patient since this is likely to take some time. Also, you should be prepared for a two pronged approach to achieving thick hair. You should make it a point that you massage your hair at least once a week. Use warm coconut or olive oil on your scalp, rubbing it in with small circular motions. You can dip a towel in hot water, wring the excess water out and then wrap this around your oiled hair. Regular application of oil helps in thickening the hair and reducing hair fall. You can boil some pieces of dried gooseberry in coconut oil, strain the oil and use this. You can also use the piece of dried Indian gooseberry to make a very effective rinse. Boil these pieces in water and use the strained liquid to rinse your hair. Powdered Indian gooseberry can be boiled in water and left out overnight. This can be applied on the hair and left for at least an hour before it is washed off. You can also apply henna once a month. Use some water to make a paste and leave it out overnight. Apply on your oiled hair in the morning and leave on for an hour.
You can apply the yolk of a raw egg on your scalp once every month. Applying yogurt on your hair once every month will keep it looking shiny and healthy. You can also use a paste made of ground fenugreek seeds to keep your hair soft and healthy. You should avoid washing your hair frequently and should ensure that you use only lukewarm water to wash it. Hot water can cause your hair to become weak and increase the hair fall. The shampoo you use should be selected with care since harsh shampoos can cause more harm than good. You should remember to protect your hair from the ill effects of harsh sunlight, pollution and dust. Drape a scarf around your hair when going out. You should also resist the temptation to subject your hair to treatments like hair coloring or straightening, or even curling it, since these can cause hair to become weak and fall out in large quantities.
