Answer 1

It's a known fact that everyone looses hair everyday. Whe I was prego this happend to me alot. I started using shampoo called mane and tail.. it is packed w/vitamins and makes hair grow and thick too....

Answer 2

Nothing will make hair grow thicker or longer. Hair grows an average of half an inch each month and anything you eat or apply will not change thickness or length.

But Hair and nails are primarily made up of protein-so you should eat lots of that-the easiest and tastiest is gelatine or gello.

Facts:
Everyone loses upto a thousand hairs each day-and hair loss is hereditary from your mother's side.

Most people lose hair because of what they do to it but there are steps you can take to prevent hair loss and products you can use to coat it temporarily that can make it look and feel fuller. But if you use goop, don't sleep on it at night and wash it first before you comb through.

Dont brush your hair-if there is hair on your brush, it is caused by breakage.. Use a wide tooth comb instead.

Check out your hair in the bathtub: If there is a bulb at the end of most of the hairs, then it is falling out and you should see a doctor, dermatologist or a tricologist. There are not many tricologists around that do hair analysis for the general public, (they usually work in research or in criminal labs (like for the show CSI), but a blood test may help to determine if you have thyroid or other deficiencies which cause hair loss.

Good luck! .

the trick is to make it look like its thick - i personally have the opposite effect but when i was sat in the hairdressers she insist on telling me all about thin hair as well!

have you got it layered because sometimes that adds volume. colour accents the hair so get it a rich colour or get highlights, try semi perminate first to see what it looks like before you make your decision on your colour

Also try this style, get one of those headbands that have recently come into fashion which are like a giant bobble that is quite tight. slide it about 2/3 cm from your forehead and then just behind the elastic backcomb the underneath, if it goes frizzy on top just smooth down with your palm. Finnish off with hair spray to keep in place.
if you want to add a bit of glam- use ribbon to cover up the elastic headband

to make it longer naturally, just trim the end of your hair to get rid of split ends etc. this gets your hair growing quicker

good luck!!

Well...this is going to be hard to believe...

There is a product for horses called "Mane and Tail". It is a product to put on a horse's....well....mane and tail.

It is a shampoo/conditioner that greatly strengthens the hair. It will do the same for humans.

I know it sounds stupid...but look it up and give it a try.

Just google "Mane and Tail".

You can get it at most "farm stock" type stores. You can even find it in some hair care areas of stores.

Answer 5

It is said that applying oil, especially coconut or sesame oil, before shower and rinse it off with a little bit of any shampoo can allow the hair to grow thicker and longer!

Answer 6

Nioxin, very effective supplement and shampoo system you can get it at salons and fine merchants like macy's.
its a little pricy, but it really does work. its slow acting though, it will take about 8 weeks ot kick in.
temporary fix - (amazing) Pureology thikkening masque. its made with volcanic ash and it heats up on your hair. you have to rinse it out with conditioner and blow dry your hair afterwards, it reeeeeaally thickens it. I work at a salon, the stuff runs for about $50/tube, if you want, i can mail you some for $30.

Answer 7

I would suggest taking multivitamins to make your hair strong. And deep conditioning your hair once or twice a week. That should minimize the shedding. Although we lose about 50-75 strands of hair daily. hth

Answer 8

Try using a thickening shapoo such as Dove or Herbal Escences. I find that these are the best two brands that really work.

Answer 9

There's this products called fat hair by Samy and I heard it makes hair thicker.

Answer 10

i read that hair only grows to a certain length. every one has a different limitation on how long there hair will grow also read that nails do the same thing.
