How to Thicken Thinning Hair

1. Select the proper hairstyle.

   Shorter cuts with layers add volume. Long locks tend to weigh themselves down which can lead to the appearance of thin hair even if you do not have a clinical problem.

2. Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda to your shampoo.

   Baking soda coats the individual hairs, adding volume to your overall look.

3. Add 2 tablespoons of oat flour to your conditioner.

   Oat flour is a natural volumizer. Make sure that you work the products into your roots and scalp and all the way to the tips of your hair for the best effect.

4. Work in a dollop of mousse before drying.

   Mousse temporarily fills in "cracks" in strands of hair, causing it to hold its shape better and look fuller and thicker.

5. Dry your hair upside down. Flipping your hair over creates a fuller, thicker look for styled hair.
