The Best Hair Products for Thinning Women’s Hair

August 23, 2010 by ModernMom Staff Leave a Comment

Few things make a woman feel more attractive than a head of thick, luxurious hair. This crowning touch can make the difference between feeling beautiful and feeling unappealing. However, not all women were born with naturally thick locks. Some women struggle with thin strands that often appear lifeless and dull. Making thin hair look thicker requires using special products and styling techniques. Choosing products specifically formulated for thin hair helps you increase hair fullness.

Shampoo

Your shampoo’s main purpose is to clean your hair and remove oils and pollutants. With certain additives, this basic product can increase the fullness of your hair or leave it flat and stringy. Avoid products that contain heavy moisturizers. Instead, choose a shampoo formulated for your thin hair. Look for products that increase volume and fullness. Volumizing shampoos contain lightweight polymers that adhere to the hair strands, creating a look of thickness and fullness.

Conditioners

Choose a conditioner that also contains volumizing ingredients. Used in conjunction with your specialty shampoo, your conditioner can help detangle your short or long hair without weighing it down. Thoroughly rinse your conditioner out of your hair to remove any residue that may reduce the fullness of your hair.

Sprays

Apply a leave-in spray to your clean strands of hair. A volumizing spritzer helps to lift the strands off your scalp and promote a look of fullness. Apply a few sprays to your damp roots and gently comb through to the ends of your hair. In addition to building your hair’s volume, these products can provide protection from heat and damaging rays of sunlight.

Medical Products

Like men, many women struggle with losing their hair. Products that contain minoxidil may improve the appearance of thinning hair and help to reduce hair loss. Bernstein Medical Clinic, a hair restoration center in New York, advises women to use the 2 percent solution to treat thinning hair, because of possible side effects that cause a decrease in blood pressure. Use this product twice each day, concentrating on areas of your scalp that contain thinning hair. You may have to wait five months to two years to notice any benefits.
