If you've dreamed about having lush, voluminous hair or wished you could achieve those beautiful hairstyles you see online, you’re not alone. Getting high-density hair requires more than just having the right products—although these will do the job—but it is also about avoiding a couple of common mistakes that can thin out your hair. Let's discover how to make hair thicker with GK Hair Products.
Mistake 1: Neglecting the Power of Nutrition
Hair is not only styled and shampooed. It’s a part of your body and a good diet can make hair grow from thin or medium to thick and strong. Hair is primarily composed of a protein called keratin. If your diet is deficient in the protein needed, your hair will turn weak and thin. Vitamin and mineral sources such as iron, vitamin D, B vitamins and omega-3s also play an important role in keeping your hair healthy and intact. So many people focus on shampoo and serums but overlook their diet entirely, which your hair shows if you are not eating properly or going on crash diets. Consuming meals high in lean meat, fish, leafy greens, nuts, and seeds, helps in promoting the growth of follicles, leaving you with thick-looking hair.
Mistake 2: Over Shampooing Your Hair
Believe it or not, daily washing of your hair does more harm than good, particularly if you have thin hair. Over washing your hair will strip your strands of its natural oils that keep your hair soft and supple to the touch. This will dry out and toughen your strands leaving your hair thinner than normal. Try washing your hair every two days or less if possible, and use a mild moisturizing hair wash such as GK Hair's Moisturizing Shampoo to clean the hair, instead of using harsh chemicals. Your scalp will thank you and so will your hair.

Mistake 3: Excessive Heat Styling Without Protection
Blow dryers, straighteners, and curling irons are quick and easy tools to change your look in no time. However relying on blow dryers or using them at high temperatures can cause irreparable damage to your hair. Excessive heat also destroys the protective sheath surrounding your hair and scalp leading to hair breakage, split ends, and lifeless hair. Always apply a heat protectant spray every time you use heat styling tools. Also, try using a blow dryer at a low temperature and let your hair rest sometimes. This will make your hair healthier and thicker for a longer time.
Mistake 4: Tight Hairstyles and Over-Manipulation
Ponytails, buns, and thick braids look great if they are done up tight. But if they are too tight, they stretch and tug your roots and if this is done too persistently, traction alopecia—a form of hair loss resulting from too much tension—develops. If you are a fan of braids with a thickness factor, good! Just make sure they are not pulling too hard on your scalp. Incorporate GK Hair's Argan Oil Serum into your hair care routine to restore moisture and shine to your hair.
Mistake 5: Excessive Use of Hair Styling Products
Use GK Hair's Styling Mousse Spray to add volume and texture, to build and hold your hair in place while providing a flexible, non-crunchy finish. This lightweight product is foam-based and is best used in wet hair before styling, to add body, and fullness and define your curls. Mousse can also extend the duration of your curls and define curls too. One common problem is product buildup from the mousse. Unless you rinse the mousse out entirely, it will clog your follicles and make your scalp irritated and slow the growth of your hair. Avoid this by using the mousse very minimally—a small amount at the roots—and shampoo your scalp periodically so your scalp and your hair can look healthy.
Mistake 6: Ignoring Scalp Health
We tend to care so much about our hair strands and forget about the scalp below it. A healthy scalp is the key to thicker hair. An irritated, dry or plugged-up scalp will get in the way of your hair growth. Massage your scalp frequently using lightweight serums or when shampooing to facilitate blood circulation. Incorporate GK Hair's Leave-In Conditioner Spray in your hair care routine, to lock in moisture and hydrate your scalp leaving you with shiny and frizz-free hair.
Mistake 7: Expecting Instant Results Overnight
One of the biggest errors is to think that magic will happen overnight. Thick hair does take time. No treatment or product will instantly alter your hair density overnight or within two days. Patience and consistency are key.
