How To Make Hair Grow Thicker?
Thinning hair doesn’t just happen overnight — and growing thicker, fuller hair takes more than wishful thinking. If you're wondering “how to grow my hair thicker” or searching for a way to make hair grow faster and thicker, you’re not alone — and you're not powerless.
The good news is: there are real, proven ways to improve density, stimulate follicles, and support long-term growth — no salon required.
Let’s explore what’s actually effective — from habits that restore blood flow to treatments that activate dormant follicles.
What’s Really Causing Thinning Hair?
Hair thinning is rarely about one issue. More often, it’s a combination of:
- Hormonal shifts, including DHT sensitivity and thyroid imbalance
- Chronic stress, which restricts microcirculation and shortens the growth phase
- Genetics and age, which can predispose follicles to shrink over time
- Nutrient deficiencies (iron, zinc, protein, B vitamins) that weaken follicles
- Inflammation and scalp buildup, from harsh products, pollution, or poor hygiene
- Tight hairstyles, which create long-term tension on the scalp
Over time, these issues reduce blood flow, weaken follicle anchoring, and slow down cell turnover — resulting in miniaturized follicles that produce thinner, shorter hair, and eventually, no hair at all.
If blood flow and follicle function are compromised, our focus has to shift to restoring circulation and addressing root causes. Let’s start there.
1. Scalp Health: The Foundation for Hair Density
Before you focus on length, you need to focus on the environment your hair grows from — your scalp. A healthy, balanced scalp allows follicles to thrive.
Scalp Massage (And Why It Works)
Massage boosts blood flow and oxygen, while relieving the muscular tension that compresses blood vessels over time. This tension, often caused by stress or aging, makes the scalp rigid and flat — cutting off essential nutrients.
How to do it:
Use your fingertips (or our Bamboo Scalp Massager) to move in slow, circular motions from your hairline to your nape. Apply light pressure for around 5 minutes, ideally 3/4 times per week.

Exfoliate, Cleanse & Hydrate
A congested scalp suffocates follicles. Exfoliating weekly with a gentle scrub removes sebum, dead skin, and product buildup. Follow with a sulfate-free shampoo to cleanse without stripping.
Don’t overwash. One or two times a week is enough for most. Harsh shampoos and overwashing can damage the scalp barrier, leading to dryness, inflammation, and weakened growth. Look for shampoos free of sulfates, alcohols, and silicones — and always moisturize your scalp post-wash with a lightweight serum or oil. Explore The Ultimate Scalp Care Guide here
2. Diet, Stress & Movement:
Internal Health = Thicker Growth
Hair isn’t essential to survival, so when your body is stressed or undernourished, it deprioritizes growth. Supporting your hair means supporting your whole system.
Nourish Your Body with Hair-Loving Nutrients
To grow thicker hair, you need to feed your follicles from the inside. That means:
- Iron & ferritin → support oxygen delivery
- Zinc & protein → build keratin
- Omega‑3s & vitamin E → reduce inflammation
- Biotin, B-complex, and vitamin D → fuel cell turnover
Deficiencies in any of these can slow or stall hair growth altogether.

Manage Cortisol to Hair Thinning at the Root
Chronic stress triggers inflammation and vasoconstriction, disrupting the growth cycle and pushing follicles into dormancy.
To regulate cortisol and protect your hair:
- Prioritize sleep
- Reduce screen time before bed
- Try breathwork, yoga, or cold exposure
- Get regular movement (more on that next)
Move Your Body (It Moves Your Blood)
Movement is circulation. Even 10 minutes of walking, inversion stretches (like forward folds), or light scalp-stimulating exercises help blood reach your follicles.
Consistency is what counts. You don’t need a gym membership — just movement, daily.
3. Hair Serums: Targeted Care to Grow Hair Thicker
How to make hair grow faster and thicker? Hair serums! - Oils and serums aren’t just trendy—they’re formulated with clinically backed actives to address the exact causes of thinning.
Unlike DIY oils, good hair serums can:
- Penetrate the scalp faster and deeper
- Combine multiple bioavailable ingredients
- Often include DHT blockers, circulation enhancers, and anti-inflammatory agents in one
✨ What to Look For in a Hair Serum:
- No synthetic fragrance or heavy silicones
- Lightweight, non-greasy texture
- Contains ingredients like peptides, caffeine, rosemary, niacinamide, or red clover
- Formulated for daily use and scalp application only
Here at Bloome, we developed two hair growth serums:
- Wildflower: A rich, vegan natural oil for an intense growth and hair thickening stimulation once or twice per week.
- Nymphaea: A daily lightweight balancing scalp serum to fortify your roots, fight hair loss, and promote thicker hair growth with every use.
4. How to Boost Hair Serums (And Your Overall Results)
Serums are powerful — but they work best when your scalp is primed. Scalp massage is a powerful tool — but it’s just the beginning.
When it comes to stimulating thicker hair growth and maximizing serum absorption, other science-backed technologies go even deeper, working directly on the causes of thinning:
- Red Light Therapy: Increases cellular energy (ATP), boosts blood circulation, and stimulates dormant follicles.
- Microcurrent: Sends gentle electrical pulses to reawaken weak follicles, improve tissue repair, and increase product penetration.
These technologies are designed to target the exact problems we covered earlier: reduced blood flow, inflammation, follicle dormancy, and poor product absorption.
