Low-risk grooming, beauty-tool and personal-care routines.
To get shinier hair, wash away buildup without scrubbing harshly, condition every wash, use a weekly mask if your lengths feel dry, and reduce high-heat styling. After drying, smooth a small amount of lightweight serum or oil over the mid-lengths and ends. Trim visibly split ends, and stop any product that causes itching, burning, flakes, or a greasy coating.
To get rid of static in hair, lightly mist or apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner, smoothing cream or hair spray, then brush gently with a wide-tooth or anti-static brush. Add moisture during dry weather, reduce rubbing from hats and synthetic fabrics, and avoid over-drying your hair. Stop using any product that causes itching, burning or a rash.
To get thicker-looking hair, focus first on preventing breakage: handle wet hair gently, limit damaging heat and tight styles, and use a suitable conditioning or protein treatment. Eat a varied diet with adequate protein, and treat sudden or persistent shedding as a reason to see a healthcare professional. Scalp massage may help, but evidence remains limited.
