Is anyone else interested in doing a challenge like this? Instead of focusing on length I would like to get my hair at its optimal fullness and health.
I want to revamp my regimen so I can specifically get thicker hair while wearing it the way I want. I don't know if it will work but I would like to try. It would be great to have some support!
This is just my view towards this challenge:
Hair thickness is determined by 2 factors
genetic and non-genetic factors.
To get thicker hair you need to get closer to achieving your maximum natural thickness. This is the thickness you would have if all of your hair was the same length(excluding baby hair) For most, that is impossible. So that is why the goal is to get closer to that thickness, not necessarily to achieve it.This is where your natural density and strand thickness come into play.
Also having a proper dietary level is important for getting your hair to be at its healthiest and thickest state as it grows out of your scalp. A good diet is always the best to have. But if you are unsure try including a well rounded vitamin and/or mineral supplement to your diet.
In addition hair diameter can be additionally increased by ingredients in product such as panthenol,henna, protein polymers and more. These tend to be temporary however so these ingredients are best to have in products that are left on the hair such as deep conditioners,stylers and leave ins.
Here is my plan of action:
1.Reduce Shedding
by reducing the amount of hair lost at the scalp level we can get closer to getting to max thickness
This can be achieved by normalizing the scalps hair regeneration through the use of anti shedding products
2.Reduce Breakage
By reducing the amount of hair lost from the Midshaft and ends we can get closer to max thickness
This can be achieved by keeping the hair at a proper moisture/protien balance (especially focusing on the quality of proteins being used on the hair.)
3.Plumping up Strands
By increasing strand thickness we can give the illusion more hair is actually there than what occurs naturally.
This can be achieved by using volumizing products,coating agents and regular moisturizing to thicken the strands
By doing these things, the hair should increase in thickness and be more full than before.
Who is IN?
If you want to join mention me So i can add you to the list and post up your regimen which describes how you specifically are going to target your issues with the products you are using.
A starting pic is highly recommended but not required.
Here are some suggestions to help you build your regimen:
Deep condition at least 1 a week
Use a protein Treatment at least 1x a month
Add an anti shedding product if you feel like your shedding is higher than normal
moisturize hair at least 3x a week
Trim your ends every few months for a fuller look
Limit direct heat usage (no more than 2 times a month at a reasonable temperature)
Make sure to eat a balanced diet,drink plenty of water and excersise. If you feel you need a boost, look into trying an internal supplement.
These are just suggestions. It is up to you to build your own regimen that targets your specific hair needs.
Lets also make a list of products and ingredients that fit into the categories so we can know what to use when building our regimens.
