12 Tips for Healthy and Voluminous Hair

Shiny, healthy and voluminous hair requires a thorough and consistent form of care starting from the scalp and roots down to the tips. The arrival of spring marks the beginning of seasonal hair loss, which unfortunately cannot be prevented, but it can result in stimulation of new hair growth, as well as the awakening of dormant hair follicles. The good news is that effective hair care does not require massive investments of time, effort or money and it could be boiled down to the simplest of habits, such as the way you wash or dry your hair. So, how can you turn “good hair days” into a daily phenomenon? We’ve got 12 ideas on our mind. Let’s take a look.

PRP Therapy

PRP therapy with platelet-rich plasma derived from one’s own blood is a well-known medical treatment often used in cases of hair loss, due to its ability to promote hair growth and naturally increase hair thickness. It is a 3-step process and it is recommended to speak with a healthcare expert prior to adding PRP to your hair loss treatment plan, as its effectiveness is highly determined by individual factors.

Hair fillers

Hair fillers are another prominent solution in more extreme cases of hair loss. They are often used to revitalize the hair follicles and enhance blood circulation within the scalp area, which ensures optimal nutrition for hair roots through the formation of new blood vessels. Although the number of required treatments depends on individual factors, usually it takes about 4 procedures to achieve visible effects that could last up to 1-2 years.

Mesotherapy and PRP combination

If PRP therapy seems appealing to you, try adding different types of mesotherapeutic cocktails of vitamins, amino acids and stem cells to the enriched plasma. Infusing the scalp with a variety of active ingredients known for their stimulative effect on hair growth is one of the most effective solutions to hair loss out there. The method also improves the blood supply to the scalp which significantly enhances hair strength and overall health.

Hydrating masks

After you’ve shown the scalp area a sufficient amount of love, it’s time to move down to the hair shaft. One of the key ingredients in the recipe for that shiny, voluminous hair look you see on shampoo commercials, is moisture. Especially if you color your hair, applying hydrating masks after dyeing can make all the difference in how your hair looks and feels. If you want to strengthen it and add some extra shine to your hair game, don’t underestimate the power of consistent hydration.

Moroccanoil treatments with heat protector

This combination is perfect to use prior to blow drying or styling with a curling iron, as it provides shine and resistance to the hairstyle, as well as protection from heat damage. Moroccanoil hairspray guarantees perfect fixation when styling pulled back hair, so you can finally kiss those annoying flyways goodbye. The combination is also suitable for curly hair, by providing smooth, bouncy and well-defined curls ready to steal the spotlight.

Choosing the right hairbrush

Using products that are suitable for your hair type and hair length is one of the pillars of creating a healthy and effective hair care routine. That goes not just for your shampoo and conditioner, but also for your hair brush. According to hairstylists, wooden brushes with boar bristles increase hair smoothness, while anti-static ones allow for optimal styling results. Round brushes of different sizes are specifically designed for straightening and enhancing volume, as well as creating soft beachy waves. Brushes with flexible pads are highly convenient for gently combing wet hair.

Biologique Recherche hair treatments

Greasy scalp and hair are also a thing of the past with Biologique Recherche’s organic product therapies created to deliver quick and visible results even after the first 3-stage treatment. The brand also carries a home care product line, to help customers maintain the stunning effects as long as possible. The Soin Sebo-Regulateur procedure regulates sebum production and gently cleanses the hair, leaving it strong and healthy.

Another comprehensive treatment used mostly for hair loss prevention is the Cegaba + Bioproline Complex therapy. Its triple action contributes to prolonging the hair growth phase, while simultaneously reducing hair shedding. It is also suitable for at-home use, with a recommended application frequency of 2-3 times per week.

Pre-workout haircare

Post-workout care is essential for a shiny and healthy looking hair. Turns out, so is pre-workout preparation. Next time you hit the gym, try applying a hair mask prior to your workout. That will deliver moisture to your hair and seal it in before the sweating from the exercise dries it out.

Avoiding hair-pulling hairstyles

Certain hairstyles, especially when including intense hair pulling, can cause hair damage over time. A prominent example of that is the tight ponytail hairstyle, which can cause severe thinning of the frontal hair and even baldness.

Correct conditioner application

If your hair tends to get greasy right after washing, you might want to take a second look at the way you apply conditioner in the shower. Hairstylists recommend avoiding the scalp area during application, as putting conditioner on your scalp may cause product buildup, dandruff and it is highly likely to leave your hair greasy pretty soon after washing, since the scalp is moisturized by the natural oils it secretes.

Ending showers with cold water

Thin, curly and blonde hair types can highly benefit from ending showers with a blast of lukewarm to cold water. This practice is known to seal the moisture in your hair and tighten the hair follicles.

Using the cold hair dryer setting

The cold air stream can help seal the hair cuticles, which gives you a smooth, frizz-free look and adds some extra shine to your hair. Furthermore, you avoid substantial heat damage, which can make all the difference, especially for people with fine or previously damaged hair.

Although building a haircare routine might sound a bit overwhelming at first, pampering your daily crown is an investment not only in your appearance, but also in your overall well-being. So, don’t shy away from giving the steps outlined in this article a go – we guarantee your hair will thank you.
