Finding hair solutions especially when the problem is hair thinning is a crazy task. You come across nonsense like applying mayonnaise onto your hair to make it silky smooth…🤦
Oh and here’s one more, and this got us laughing really hard! This was told to us by one of our writers. She says and we quote “ You need to mix 7 shampoos altogether in a mug along with the conditioner and then let it sit on your hair. After the wash, I looked like Alex from Madagascar!🤣”
So, bidding adieu to foolish home remedies or even the ones you’re classmates tell you in school! Here is a blog that tells you everything you need to know about Hair thinning and how you can tackle it with simple remedies and the right type of hair extensions.
Fine Hair And What Is It?
There are two ways to look at this, hair FINE as wine, or FINE hair and all the despair!
So fine hair or thin hair are those strands of hair that have a smaller diameter and are quite frail and dull. This type of hair lacks volume, thickness, density or even a bounce. Most of the time, hair thinning is caused by hormonal changes, genetics or even stress.
Sometimes even prolonged medications or underlying conditions like PCOD also cause hair thinning or balding. Old age is also, is one of the most common reasons for hair thinning. At times even the autoimmune condition called alopecia areata causes hair thinning and ultimately balding.
Given the kind of circumstances we are in, stress, tension, unhealthy diets, habits like smoking, and environmental factors are some of the major reasons why hair thinning occurs.
These are just a few reasons behind the cause of hair thinning.
But there are even more solutions out there that help with hair regrowth and reducing hair thinning.
How Do We Fix Hair Thinning?
The irreversible causes of hair thinning can be genetics, an unhealthy lifestyle, hard water issues or even a lack of nutrients; but natural methods like a healthy diet, regular scalp care, and hair treatments be it natural or medical can help improve hair thinning or hair fall.
Consuming foods that are rich in proteins and vitamins like A, C and E, along with minerals like iron and zinc are some of the ways of reducing hair thinning organically.
If you are someone who consumes non-vegetarian food, then incorporating fish into your diet in considerable amounts helps in reducing hair thinning or hair fall. Fish and seafood are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids that help boost hair growth.
But with that being said, not all forms of seafood are good for you in large quantities. Always consult your nutritionist on the kind of diet that you would need to help you better your lifestyle.
That brings us to, hair styling. Harsh treatments on the hair can also be one of the reasons for drastic hair thinning and balding patterns. Reduce the amount of treatments like permanent straightening or even colouring to curb hair thinning. Remember, all-natural, is always beautiful.
How To Choose The Right Hair Extension For Thin Hair?
If you are someone suffering from hair thinning and you've been trying out everything under the sun and even then if nothing is working out; this is your call to try out hair extensions at least once!
But there are a few things to remember before opting for hair extensions and hair wigs.
Consider the weight and how much strain is it going to cause on your hair and your scalp. Generally, these do not weigh more than 500 grams on the head, scalp and hair so this makes it a viable and non-chemical option for you to try.
Quality! Quality is everything, baby girl!
Synthetic hair extensions may be a popular choice because of their affordability. But this is not worth it. If anything, it can cause itching, or even dandruff on your hair due to the plastic fibres and poor make.
When looking for hair extensions for thin hair, remember never to be too over the top. This can make it look obvious and noticeable. Remember to consult with your hairstylist if you ever plan on getting hair extensions. Always remember to get something subtle, something that enhances your look and increases length but not in an alarming way. The motive is to blend in not stick out.
One must also keep in mind the kind of attachment methods used. Some hair extensions like keratin bonds or even tape-in hair extensions can be a little too stressful on thin hair and can cause a certain amount of tension on the scalp too. But other options can help.
