Hair can become thinner for a variety of reasons, including aging, over-styling, even disease. But if your doctor has ruled out any underlying medical condition, there are some natural remedies you can easily make at home to increase your hair’s volume and give the appearance of thicker hair.

Here are two of my favorites:

Hair Thickening Mask

  • 1/2 an avocado
  • 1/4 cup virgin coconut oil
  • 1 egg
  • 15 drops Rosemary essential oil

Thickening Mask and Rinse

Add avocado, coconut oil, egg, and Rosemary oil to a small bowl, and mix well to combine.

The avocado, egg, and coconut oil will provide moisture and nutrients for your hair. Rosemary oil is also a wonder ingredient for thin hair, because it has stimulating properties that can help rejuvenate those less-active hair follicles.

To use the mask, apply generously to wet or dry hair, and let it sit in your hair for about 20 minutes. Cover your hair with a shower cap if necessary to keep from making a mess. After 20 minutes, rinse the mask out using cool water, then shampoo as normal.

Hair Thickening Rinse

  • 2 Tbsp whole cloves
  • 1 cup water

Clove tea can naturally enhance hair color while thickening weak, thin strands. Many store-bought hair care products include this spice in their formulations.

Thickening Mask and Rinse

Add one cup of water to a small saucepan, and bring it to a boil on the stove. Once boiling, add the cloves and let them boil in the water for 5 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the cloves and water to rest, at least for a few hours, but preferably overnight.

Thickening Mask and Rinse

Strain the cloves away from the clove water.

Thickening Mask and Rinse

Store in an airtight container. Apply to wet hair in the shower after shampooing and conditioning, and there’s no need to rinse it out.

That clove tea rinse must smell heavenly! I’ve always had very thick hair, until an episode that involved a bunch of meds about 16 years ago, and now a major surgery and heavy anesthesia, then pain meds for a while. I have been shedding like a dog in the spring! For the first time I could use a volume enhancement, and these products appeal much more to me than the stuff on the shelves at the store.

So anesthesia can cause hair to get thinner too? I just had a procedure done where they really had to hit me good with the anesthesia and I’m seeing my hair get thinner. Unfortunately I have to have it done again the end of this month.

Looking forward to trying this out. How often should I apply it in a weeks time frame?

It depends on your hair, I would think every couple of weeks. But if your hair seems to need it more often, then that’s okay too :-)

You should consider yourself lucky to still have thick coarse hair. My hair is still this way. My mom used to complain about it because it’s a lot of work to keep looking good. Apparently after talking to my dad’s side of the family, I inherited from his side of the family. Grandma still had a head of nice thick hair until she died. I can thank my genes for this.

So many women do have need for this, HOWEVER, I am searching for a product to reduce the coarse hair, but this has oils that just might do the trick. I
will give this a try and get back to you. (long blondish/white hair of senior women)
