Unclear question: Is your hair abnormally thin? Why do want to thicken your hair? There is no specific treatment to thicken hair. Make sure that your nutrition is adequate for general skin and hair health.Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco in any form and do not take any more than one drink on a given day.
