7 Strategies for Thicker Hair

1. Use a Thickening Shampoo

Try Nizoral A-D, the only nonprescription shampoo that contains ketoconazole.

2. Ditch Your Comb

Style with your fingers; you’ll add volume and texture.

3. Stop Smoking

Smoking increases levels of hormones that can trigger hair loss.

4. Let Your Hair Dry Naturally

Towel-drying your wet hair may damage it and cause snapping.

5. Blow-Dry Your Hair

You can also use a blow-dryer to give your fine hair more volume, but don’t flame-grill it.

6. Wear a Hat in the Sun

Don’t let your head bake in scorching heat. Sunburn makes your hair brittle and fragile.

7. Get a Better Cut

Instead of growing or parting your hair, try a shorter classic or unstructured crop.
