Maybe you’ve always had a small amount of fine hair, or perhaps you’ve noticed it’s gradually got thinner over the years. Either way, if you’re searching for ways to make your hair look thicker, there are a few things you can try to boost the appearance of your strands.

First thing’s first: if your hair hasn’t always been fine or thin and you are experiencing significant hair loss, your first port of call should always be your doctor or a trichologist to find out if there’s an underlying issue. “Causes of hair thinning can be anything from hormones, illness and stress to poor diet, medication or even genetics,” says trichologist and Viviscal ambassador Hannah Gaboardi. “For example, when a woman has a baby, she loses her hair after giving birth due to a rapid loss in oestrogen.” “Having a very poor diet and lacking nutrients can also cause hair loss,” she adds.

Although there’s no magic spell that will thicken your individual strands permanently, there are a few handy tips and tricks that can help to boost the appearance of hair that’s on the finer or thinner side.

Below are a few options, from hairdresser-approved styling products to daily supplements. Incorporate scalp care into your routine Scalp products won’t directly make your hair thicker, but ask any top hairdresser and they’ll tell you that healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp.
