Q) I have thin oily hair. How can I make my hair get thick?
It seems lifeless as its oily on top but brittle on the ends. Please give me a good suggestion to make it healthier/strong & fast growing hair.
Professional Hair Care Tips - Thin oily hair is a problem, especially since you say it's brittle on the ends. You need serious help! Your own hair growth depends on you. Heredity and vitamins all make a big difference. Hair grows around 1/2 of an inch a month, depending on the person.
Vitamins that stimulate hair growth are vitamins B, A, and E. (Vitamin A is synonymous with Beta Carotene and B Vitamins are known as the 'beauty vitamins'.) You can also buy Hair Vitamins, as these are specific blends of the right vitamins and minerals you need for hair growth and strength. Biotin, as it really helps with hair growth. If you want to know how much you should take daily, please check out the daily suggestions on my vitamin supplements pages.
Your problems with excessive oils could be linked to heredity, lack of the proper vitamins, overactive sebaceous glands, and/or hormones. Since there are so many variables, its hard to know what will work best for you. If your oily hair is linked to hormones, you may just have to wait it out.
In the meantime, I would suggest using a clarifying shampoo first, then use a volumizing/thickening/texturizing shampoo on a regular basis instead of a conditioning shampoo. Occasional use of clarifying shampoos cut the oils and keep your hair looking much healthier. To help thicken your hair, simply use a volumizing shampoo.
I would also suggest that you trim your hair about an inch. You could also lightly layer your hair ends, to help get rid of split ends and to create more volume. Get rid of the brittle ends and start using a good deep conditioner like Image IntraKera, Deep Penetrating Leave-In Conditioning Complex or Rusk Deep Shine PhytoMarine Lusterizer. They should really help protect your hair ends from becoming brittle again!
