{SCA} People lose hair for various reasons. Illness and medication (like chemotherapy to treat cancer) can cause hair loss. Hair loss can also be inherited from a parent. Often, hair thins because it is fine-textured or because too many harsh chemicals have been used on it, so it breaks easily.

No matter what your hair type, it is important to take care of your hair. If you have thin hair, your hair-care routine will be different than someone with curly or thick hair. When you take care of thin hair, it will be radiant and healthy – not mention manageable and stylish.

These are hair care tips to help protect thin hair, prevent further hair loss, and add volume to your existing hair.

• Shampoo and condition your hair using products specifically designed for thin hair types. Hair care products for a variety of hair types, including thin hair have become fair common and should be easy to find at your local supermarket. Using products specifically designed for thin hair is the first step in taking proper care of your locks.

• Avoid damaging thin hair while you are styling it by switching to a wide-tooth comb or brush. Having thin hair means that the individual strands of your hair are smaller in diameter than those of normal or thick hair, making them more susceptible to breakage. Wide-tooth combs or brushes allow thin hair to pass through easily without causing unnecessary stress on thin hair, this limits the likelihood that your hair will break in the styling process and is an important part of proper care.

• Use a diffuser when blow-drying thin hair, combined with a protective thin hair serum. These such products can easily be found in local stores, typically most new hair dryers come with a diffuser and serums designed specifically for thin hair are labeled as volume enhancing or body increasing. Using this technique, you can achieve your the desired style in the same amount of time. Chances are, you’ve noticed the thick, voluminous locks of a friend or co-worker and been envious – but thin hair can have volume too when you take care of it properly.
