Pick a Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner

There are plenty of shampoos and conditioners specifically designed to strengthen and thicken your natural hair, now a lot of products claim to do this however very few make it the unique selling point of their product. Products such as caffeine-based shampoos and conditioners have shown fairly good results in improving your hair’s thickness.

Protein Treatment on your Hair

Take two eggs and beat it in a container, apply the hair when your hair is wet and apply it to your hair, specifically areas where your hair is thinning, massaging it gently. Let it sit for 30 minutes and then wash it out and repeat once to twice a week.
