Increase hair density: How to achieve it?

To explain how to increase hair density, we must first talk about what is it and how is it different from capillary volume, since they are terms that are often confused.

Both refer to how we perceive our hair visually and by touch, but we must learn to distinguish them.

In this article we clear up all the doubts around this topic and share very useful tips when it comes to increasing the density of our hair.

What exactly is hair density?

Hair density responds to how much hair per square centimeter we have on our scalp. It can be mistakenly thought that it refers to how much space our hair occupies and yet it means that the higher the concentration of hair in an area, no matter how small, the higher the density of the hair. 

This is precisely what everyone who undergoes a hair graft aims to achieve, redensify those areas that look poorer and that no longer have the number of hair of years ago. 

Density and volume are not the same

Density refers to the actual amount of hair we have, while volume is what our hair visually occupies, something that we can "fake" with different haircuts or hairstyles. 

We can have a large amount of hair and yet hardly have volume or on the contrary, having a large capillary volume without actually having a large capillary density.

Density and volume are not the same

What are the most dense hair types?

Regarding volume, it is obvious that wavy or curly hair has much more than straight hair.

However, hair density is directly related to the hair color we have.

The type of hair with the highest density is blonde, followed by brown hair. The hair color with the lowest density is red. 

The difference in hair between the different hair colors is thousands, with blondes an average of 140.000, brunettes about 100.000 and redheads 80.000.

Tips to achieve greater hair density

There are certain tips that we can follow to enhance our hair density and prevent us from losing more hair than normal.

A healthy and balanced diet

We must make sure that our daily diet provides us with the essential amount of proteins, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and that we stay properly hydrated. 

We can also not forget that a good diet oriented towards our hair will have a positive impact on the rest of our body.

More sports and hours of sleep

More sports and more hours of sleep

Physical activity helps us to be in better shape but it also helps us to regulate our sleep schedules and getting enough sleep helps us to control stress levels.

This is especially important because stress is one of the biggest causes of hair loss.

Use the right products to boost hair density

Currently there are multiple products that help us prevent hair loss and enhance its density.

We must always take into account its composition, since we must always try to use the most natural and respectful products possible with our scalp.

Some ingredients specially indicated to treat the loss of hair density and enhance its increase are proteins, chamomile, ginseng, natural antioxidant extracts, etc.
