Below are some tips on how to thicken your hair strands temporarily.This is not about the density of the hair but the thickness of the hair strands.You can't alter the thickness of your strands but you can definitely plumb it up with some techniques like the ones i listed below.By the way welcome to my first follower :)
1. Coat it - Some products coat the hair strands making it appear thicker. One of them is henna, adds luster and coats the hair strands. If you don't like the reddish colour it leaves behind try neutral henna that also has conditioning effect.
2. Protein and polymers - Protein helps temporarily fill in chipped pieces of the hair shaft causing the hair strands to become thicker. Such proteins is keratin, silk protein, e.t.c.
A trick you can try is adding oat flour (preferably colloidal) to your conditioner. It creates a film on the hair shaft with lipids that help thicken hair.
Another trick is adding gelatin powder to your shampoo or conditioner to fill in the hair strand due to the protein it contains.
Also any form of protein like oat protein, keratin, elastin, collagen and silk amino acid (and not only) help to plump the hair strands and add strength to it. Polymers in hair products help provide structure to the hair. Using products with vitamin B5 also might be helpful since it's said to be a thickening agent.
