7 Expert Tips To Increase Hair Volume Naturally

Flat, lifeless hair can be frustrating, but achieving fuller-looking hair doesn’t have to be a struggle. We’ve all had those days where our hair feels flat no matter what we do, and it can affect our look & confidence, too.

But the truth is, with the right care and natural ingredients, you can bring back the bounce and make your hair look healthier and more voluminous.

Let’s explore why hair loses volume and how you can increase hair volume naturally.

Why does hair lose its volume?

Hair volume doesn’t just vanish overnight; it’s often the result of multiple internal and external factors working together. Some of the most common reasons include:

• Genetics: Your natural hair type, strand thickness, and density play a major role in how voluminous your hair looks.
• Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations during pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid imbalances can directly impact hair growth and fullness.
• Nutritional Deficiencies: Inadequate intake of key nutrients like iron, protein, and biotin can make strands weak and prone to thinning.
• Product Build-Up: Heavy styling products, oils, and residue can weigh hair down, making it appear flat and lifeless.
• Environmental Stressors:  Pollution, UV rays, and harsh climates can damage the cuticle and reduce natural bounce.

Understanding these triggers is the first step to knowing how to get volume in hair naturally.

7 Natural ways to increase hair volume:

Here’s how to volumise hair naturally with small, consistent steps, which can help bring back natural volume.

     1. Healthy diet and hydration:

Your hair reflects what you eat. Incorporate iron, protein, biotin, and omega-3-rich foods while drinking enough water to support overall hair health and natural volume.

     2. Regular trimming:

Split ends can make hair appear thin and lifeless. Trim every few weeks to maintain healthy, voluminous hair. Combine this routine with a Neem Wood Comb to detangle gently, which reduces breakage, static, and preserves hair thickness.

     3. Protecting hair from environmental damage:

UV rays, pollution, and harsh weather can damage hair. Protect strands using natural hair care products that nourish and shield the hair.

     4. Gentle cleansing with natural shampoos:

Using a shampoo that cleanses without stripping natural oils is essential. Harsh shampoos can damage hair, leading to dryness and breakage. Opt for gentle, natural shampoos like Goat Milk Shampoo or Herbal Shampoo, which will remove impurities while maintaining the scalp’s natural oils, supporting healthy volume and shine.

     5. Nourishing the scalp:

A healthy scalp is the foundation for thick, voluminous hair. Massaging with natural oils stimulates blood circulation, promoting hair growth and strength. Try Vilvah’s Hair Growth Oil, which is formulated without harsh chemicals and is enriched with pumpkin seed oil, castor oil, and kalonji oil. This unique blend nourishes roots and helps hair grow thicker and fuller over time.

“Formulating an oil that actually promotes hair growth without feeling greasy was a challenge. With the right blend of pumpkin seed, castor, and kalonji oils, we created one, and it has become a game-changer for fuller, healthier hair!”

     6. Deep conditioning treatments:

Weekly deep conditioning restores moisture and elasticity, preventing breakage and enhancing volume. A lightweight conditioner, like Vilvah’s Cream Conditioner, hydrates without weighing hair down, leaving strands soft, bouncy, and manageable.

     7. Avoiding heat styling:

Excessive heat weakens hair strands, leading to thinning and reduced volume. Minimise heat styling and let hair air-dry. After styling, use Anti-Frizz Hair Serum to tame flyaways and add shine, maintaining smooth, voluminous hair naturally

Additional tip: Don’t skip a hair mask

A nourishing hair mask not only deeply conditions your strands but also helps detox and exfoliate your scalp, creating the perfect foundation for healthier, fuller-looking hair.

Try Vilvah’s Goat Milk Hair Mask, enriched with ceramides & natural ingredients that strengthen roots, restore moisture, and improve overall volume. Adding it to your routine once a week can make your hair feel refreshed, bouncy, and visibly thicker.
