What is Thin Hair? 

Thin hair refers to your hair density. It's about how much hair you have on your head. 

Having thin hair means that the hair follicles on your scalp have a greater distance between them than other hair types. Since most hair follicles contain more than one hair and in thin hair, there are fewer per follicle than other hair types. 

How much hair you have depends on your genetics and the follicles that you have naturally. Hair can also thin due to various factors such as stress, illnesses, childbirth, diet, and treatments such as chemotherapy. This can lead to hair loss among women. 

Factors that Can Cause Thin Hair

  • Stress 

This is a high influence on hair loss, high levels of stress on an emotional or physical level can weaken the bonds of the hair shafts. To try to prevent this from happening, try relaxing and using other methods to help ease the amount of stress your body takes in and help manage stress levels. 

  •  Diet 

If you are not getting enough iron or vitamin B it can also affect the health of your hair. Eat leafy vegetables, high proteins, and rich fatty- oils such as Omega 3s to bring on a shine in your hair and help strengthen it. 

  • Genetic Disposition 

There are some genetics that can affect the rate at which you may lose your hair such as, anemia, thyroid disease, autoimmune disease, hormone imbalances, and pregnancies. 

  • Aging

As you age you lose about 50-100 strands of your hair a day. This depends also on your lifestyle. Hair follicles tend to weaken as we age, and it doesn’t replicate as rapidly as when we were younger.

                    13 Problems Caused by Having Thin Hair!

                    Apart from the advantages of having thin hair, there are some challenges that come with it. 

                    1. Thin hair tangles easily – it is easy to get into knots and become sticky. 
                      2. It is a struggle to get a hairstyle to hold – you must use hair sprays and other holding gels to keep the hairstyle in place for the day. 
                        3. Your hair gets stringy if you use too much conditioner. Conditioner can make your hair fall much flatter than it already is. 
                          4. You also experience having sunburn on your scalp - because your hair isn’t thick at the roots, the sun can burn right through it onto your scalp. It’s best to wear a sunhat when outside or use a UV protectant spray before being outside. 
                            5. You can’t use dry shampoo as it leaves your hair feeling stringy and flat. This means that you need to wash your hair every time it gets dirty. 
                              6. Humidity can add some volume to your thin hair whereas dry weather makes your hair static. 
                                7. You have shorter ponytails as your hair is very thin with no length or volume. 
                                  8. You need to continuously wash your hair as your hair becomes greasy if it gets dirty. 
                                    9. You struggle to pull off that messy hair look. 
                                      10. No hairstyle holds except the natural one. This means you can only wear your hair hanging down in its own form. 
                                        11. If the wind blows, your hair will tangle, and you will have flyaways. This means having to carry your hair styling tools with you to fix your hair should the wind get it. 
                                          12. You cannot frizz your hair as it dries quickly. Your hair won’t shrink up and curl/coil when wet. 
                                            13. Hair ties are too big for your thin hair. This means having to tie your hair tightly when using hair ties as it will slip off. This can have a damaging effect on your hair and lead to your hair thinning. 

                                              What Are The Options For Styling Thin Hair? 

                                              Always keep in mind that when styling your thin hair, you should be looking to lift the roots. Use products such as dry shampoos, mousses, and thickening spray to help you achieve this. Salt sprays can also be used on damp hair to create a more natural-looking texture and create volume as well. 

                                              Also use light, matte, and non-shiny products on your thin hair. Use gentle shampoos on your hair and you can even use products that will promote/encourage thicker hair growth. If all else fails then the next best alternative is getting a hair extension that will match your style.

                                                You can choose between a tape-in or clip-in hair extension to help fill the thinning hair.

                                                Step 3: Tie your hair with a hairband 

                                                After inserting the hair extensions, tie your hair into a ponytail and make sure that it is smooth by running your hands over it. If your hands can’t smooth out any bumps, then run a soft brush over it. 

                                                Step 4: Tease the ponytail with your comb

                                                This is done by pulling and loosening hair around the bun. Then take another headband and wrap the hair bun. Use the hairpins to trim the hair at the nape of your neck. However, the messier the bun looks the better. Finish off your hair by using hairspray to complete the style and keep it in place.
