10 secrets to thick, healthy hair

1. Use dry shampoo: Dry shampoo helps you go longer between washes because it soaks up excess oil and keeps your hair looking fresh.

2. Apply shampoo to your scalp only: Shampoo just your scalp so you don't dry out the ends even more.

3. Use a cotton T-shirt instead of a towel: Drying your hair with a cotton T-shirt is gentler and doesn't damage it.

4. Blow-dry on the lowest heat: Lower temperatures reduce the risk of breakage and split ends.

5. Use coconut and argan oil: These oils protect hair from moisture loss, encourage growth and reduce breakage.

6. Use hair masks: Treat your hair to a mask once a week for extra care and hydration.

7. Get regular trims: Trimming split ends regularly keeps hair healthy and less prone to breaking.

8. Massage your scalp: A scalp massage boosts circulation, which helps hair grow faster and thicker.

9. Colour with natural dyes: Natural dyes such as henna and indigo nourish the hair and reduce hair loss.

10. Eat unhulled millet: Millet strengthens hair follicles, supports growth and improves overall hair health.
