3 more ways to THICKEN THINNING HAIR

Massage your head

Rubbing your scalp in circular motions for 5 minutes a day while washing hair prevents the buildup of follicle-harming hormones and enhances blood flow to the scalp, supporting healthy hair growth. Plus, a daily scalp massage boosts volume, “plumping” individual hairs for a fuller-looking mane.

Sip green tea

This brew is loaded with polyphenols linked to hair growth. Indeed, researchers say the compound EGCG in green tea decreases the output of follicle-damaging hormones, while its antioxidants prolong the growth phase of hair. Aim to drink 2 cups of green tea (hot or iced) daily to get the full benefits.

Try a rosemary spritz

Rosemary essential oil stops stress hormones from attacking hair follicles. To get the perks, mix 2 drops of rosemary essential oil with 4 oz. of water and spritz on your scalp before bed. Research shows 44% of women who do this see new growth, making it just as effective as minoxidil—without side effects!
