Hey guys, just a quick question. I have hair that is on the thinner side and it really annoys me styling-wise. Do you guys have any tips or tricks on how to get it thicker, or ways to make it look thicker? Thanks.

Back-combing/teasing maybe?

Volumising products and hairspray?[CENTER]

Don't use too much gel or wax - it will weigh your hair down and make it look flatter and thinner. Use a bit of volumizing mousse and possibly some hairspray instead. Also use a good shampoo (I recommend Head and Shoulders). You can get specific volumizing shampoos if you prefer though which can be very effective, but ask your pharmacist before you buy. Finally, comb your hair as little as possible.

I'm half Asian so I got thick hair. You don't want it, trust me. It always sticks up and you always have to comb it every 2-4 hours if you want to ensure you look your best

I agree with Vince. My hair is really thick and it's so annoying.

It's not the styling, my styling skills are quite good, it's just that I prefer thicker hair.
I do use good shampoo, I use aveda and american crew shampoo.

I don't have the Asian hair that sticks up, I got the one that is down and is all wavy and shit. It moves around a lot and is really annoying. And when it gets wet like showering and sweat, it sticks up and won't go back down even with a comb. So I have to work out and take a shower all during the night to ensure that I look my best the next day -

I'll rephrase: The styling products that you are using, as well as the amount you use, may be weighing down your hair so if you switch to lighter alternatives then eventually your hair should thicken a little bit. Aveda is good (haven't heard of American Crew). -

Well I understand what you mean, but I don't use all that much. I usually take a small scoop with my finger, rub in the palms of my hand, and then spread through my hair. I try and get it in the roots of my hair, that way it'll provide more hold and not weigh it down as much. I use hair clay, sponge wax, pomade, and fibre cream, but not all at once of course. Just depends what I feel like. -
Ive got thicker hair so its different but using gel or fibre cream will emphasise that its thin. Stick with clay mat wax i reckon mate.
Try Trevor Sorbie it costs a bomb but its quality look at my profile if you wanna see mine haha. -

Well I use american crew, aveda, and Hanz de Fuko, all of which cost an arm and a leg to get. I usually use matte clay or sponge wax, which is alright. My hair is usually styled like this (this isn't me obviously, I'll post a pic of me in another thread maybe):
but it's a lot shorter on the sides. My hair is usually a grade 2 on the sides and back with a clipper, then its longer on top, quite long actually. -
Well, I think the best way is massaging your scalp regularly with pure coconut oil is one of the best methods to get thicker hair naturally. And one of the other thing is avoid heat styling tools. Use blow dryers, straight irons, and curling irons sparingly.

Take Hair, Skin and Nails -- a vitamin available at drugstores.
Bumble & Bumble Thickening Spray is also great.
