The above compilation on How to add volume to thin hair home remedies is based on experiences and readings over time. As much as I vouch for home remedies or natural remedies, I would like to share my long, soft, shiny and still black in color hair post 30, is credited with the minimal use of shampoo, no use of chemical based colors and less frequent hair wash of once in a week. The more you wash the more hair looses its moisture. Treat oily scalp rather than washing hair every day as it doesn’t cure but adds further deformities. For more serious cases visit your dermatologist immediately as hair and skin issues must be checked immediately.
