TOP TIPS TO FAKE THICKER HAIR

Plump up the roots

Simply spritz a root-lifting product onto the roots of your hair while damp and massage it through with your fingertips. Once blow-dried dry, use a teasing brush to give your roots even more ‘oomph’.

Brush it out

Use a curling tong to create tight ringlets in your hair. Once cooled, use a paddle brush to brush them out and create the appearance of lots and lots of hair!

TOP TIPS TO ENSURE THICKER HAIR NATURALLY

Get rid of the build-up

Pesky things like sebum and product remnants can clog your pores and seriously hinder the health of your scalp and consequently, your hair. What you need is a shampoo that effectively cleanses and exfoliates your scalp so that your hair can grow from a healthy foundation. Aveda Invati™ Exfoliating Shampoo claims to reduce hair loss by 33 per cent, which means it helps to make sure your existing hair stays around for longer. Aveda Invati™ Exfoliating Shampoo contains naturally derived salicylic acid from wintergreen and works to exfoliate your scalp, which helps to promote healthy cellular renewal. This exfoliator for your hair is ideal for men and women with thinning hair, loss of volume, lack of density or a dry and tight scalp.

Nourish the hair you have

Clinically proven to thicken hair, Aveda Invati™ Thickening Conditioner contains a blend of guar and rapeseed-derived ingredients that penetrate deep within your hair shaft and help restore strength, improve elasticity and reduce breakage while creating a weightless surface to thicken hair. The product contains Aveda’s Densiplex™ complex, which contains an invigorating blend of ayurvedic herbs including turmeric and ginseng, which helps to energise and rehabilitate the scalp around the follicles when massaged in. The great thing about this product is that it helps to repair the existing hair shafts while also treating your scalp to ensure your new hair is healthy, too.

Treat your scalp right

The best way to improve the way your hair grows is to improve the condition of the foundation from which it stems – your scalp. Aveda Invati™ Scalp Revitalizer works to treat your scalp around the follicles where your hair grows and helps to promote healthier hair growth. This is thanks to a Densiplex™ complex, which contains a blend of vitamin E, lavender, rosemary, ylang ylang, myrtle and ambrette essential oils to help accelerate microcirculation and rehabilitate your scalp over time.
