The quality of your hair depends on your genes. If your parents have had thin hair and it runs in your family then you would have thin hair too. But that does not mean you can't have beautiful hair as healthy hair comes from the way you take care of your body and your scalp and hair.


You should follow healthy eating habits, stay away from junk food, alcohol and smoking. Besides this also remember to have enough water through the day as your body functions best when it is well hydrated. Also exercise regularly or you could also practice yoga as it helps to increase the blood and oxygen flow to your head, thus stimulating the hair follicles and making your hair healthy and shiny.


Apart from following this healthy routine you can try the following home remedies to make your hair thicker.

Keep a bottle of apple cider vinegar in your bathroom and rinse your hair with it every time before your shampoo. If you have the time then take half a cup of apple cider vinegar and mix it with equal quantity of water. Massage this on your scalp and cover the length of your hair with it. Wait for 10 to 15 minutes and then shampoo your hair using a mild herbal shampoo. Use an organic herbal shampoo if you can and stay away from harsh cosmetic hair products.

Oiling your hair 3 to 4 times a week will also work wonders to thicken your hair and make it shine with health. You can mix half a teaspoon each of almond oil, olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil and a little bit of honey. Warm this mixture and massage it into your scalp and cover the length of your hair with it. Leave on for a few hours or overnight and then wash off using a mild shampoo. If you are leaving the oils overnight do not add the honey, just use the blend of oils. This will rejuvenate and stimulate your scalp boosting the health and texture of your hair. It will also help to make it longer, stronger and thicker. Do this every alternate night to get the best and quick results.

You can also use a nourishing and thickening hair mask once a week. Mash one ripe banana, add an egg to it and blend until you get a smooth mix. Next add half a cup of flat beer and a tablespoon of honey and blend well until you get a creamy consistency. Apply this all over your hair and scalp and leave on for about 2 to 3 hours. Shampoo off using a mild organic shampoo.
