What should I do?

Question

My hair is very thin and straight. It all together is as thick as a finger. Besides, it breaks too easily. What should I do to to make it stronger? If I shaved it, would it help? I'm a girl, but I wouldn't mind doing that, if it helped my hair grow stronger. And what if I got it cut every other month or so? Would that change anything? And are there any products that I could buy?

Answer 2

Shaving won't help, I wouldn't bother with that. A good cut can go a very long way. Find a good hairdresser, one you get on with and feel comfortable with, they should be able to recommend products to help you. A good diet and exercise program can also help . Your hair is supplied with nutrients by your blood like the rest of your body. Healthy body, healthy hair.

Answer 3

thin hair looks better (shinier and healthier) if it's cut into a short(er) style. VAVOOM has a shampoo with a styling agent in it. it works pretty well (surprisingly).
never use too high heat or your hair will melt off.
conditioner can make it weightier, but you need something , so use it only once a week or use a cream rinse (which is lighter).

Answer 4

Dont slave it, i did that to half my hair once! it has never grown back the same!.. isnt there some shampoo's that could help? Maybe you should go to a salon and ask a hairdresser.

Answer 5

Hair loss or baldness is caused mainly due to the lack of Vitamin B supplements. Vitamin B5 contains pantothenic acid and B3 (niacin that is vital for hair growth). B6 is equally important to the body, as it contains the nutrients of zinc, sulfur, magnesium and biotin.

An interesting fact about Vitamin B: Certain experiments were conducted with rats and they were fed with food that lacked magnesium supplements. It was found that they lost their hair in bunches and when they were provided with a low biotin diet they turned hairless. But to the surprise of all, their hair returned when they were fed with food rich in Vitamin B. Similar studies were conducted on men and it was found that Vitamin B enriches the quality of hair.The body also requires Vitamin A. Fatty acids such as primrose oil, flaxseed oil or salmon oil need to be consumed for enhancing hair growth.

Vitamin E is meant for stimulating the oxygen intake in the body and improves the blood circulation. If there is proper blood circulation, hair growth is enhanced. Vitamin C assists the normal functioning of capillaries that carries the blood to the scalp. Even zinc is an important supplement, which should be consumed as it assists hair growth.

Biotin is necessary for hair growth. There are many sources of biotin such as brewer's yeast, brown rice, bulgur, green peas, lentils, oats, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and walnuts. It is present in some shampoos, so you can use shampoos, which contain biotin. It is advised to consult a physician before taking any vitamins or medications for hair growth

Hot oil massages: Warm 2 tsp. of olive oil and 2 tsp. coconut oil and gently massage every part of the scalp for 10-15 minutes. Rinse a towel in hot water, wipe and wind the hair around the head as it cools. Repeat 2 or 3 times to issue total saturation. After that, shampoo and rinse well. It is good for brittle dry hair.
Hot Caster oil massage: Warm ½ cup of castor oil, massage into scalp and gently comb it. Bind the hair with hot towel on the head, wait for 30 minutes. Shampoo and rinse. As it is home made is so good to use for scanty hair.
Clove oil honey massage. Stir well ½ cup of green olive oil with 1 cup of liquid honey. Shake vigorously. Keep the mixture to settle for a day or two. Massage into the scalp and comb it not touching the scalp. After massaging cover hair with plastic shower cap. Make it air tight to let the heat penetrate, leave like that for 20 to 30 minutes. Then shampoo and rinse well. It is good for dark hair to keep it shining and lustrous.

Natural homemade Protein treatment: Beat 1 egg and add slowly 1 tsp of olive oil and 1 tsp of vinegar. Apply it on hair and keep for 10 to 15 minutes. Apply shampoo and rinse well. This is good for all type of hair.
For oily hair Use any thin type of oil instead of olive oil and add lemon juice instead of vinegar.
If you feel sticky also it is worth to do protien treatement. Use mild shampoo twice and condition it next day

But if your hair is very thin and braks off esily then try not to heat them much.

take care.
