How To Improve Hair Density?
| What Is Hair Density? |
Hair Density/Follicle Density is the measure of the number of hair follicles per unit area of the scalp. To arrive at a person’s follicle density, the number of strands of hair are counted per square-inch of scalp area, usually measured from the back of the scalp.
Since the average hair density depends on a number of factors including ethnicity, age, gender, etc, it’s hard to define a ‘Normal’ density level for the average person. But a rough standard or average can be considered to be around 1050 strands of hair per square inch.
While it’s not feasible to manually count the hair strands per square inch area, you can keep track of some indicators to understand your hair density – scarce growth, bald patches, receding hairline and hair fall & thinning in general. These simple indications should not be overlooked.
Understanding your hair density allows you to figure out if your hair density is low, medium or high – and accordingly plan the products and regimen you should be following. While other factors such as coarseness, dry/oily scalp, etc, also have to be accounted for, here is a quick guide on how you can plan your hair & scalp regimen for low hair density & weak / thin hair.
Hair & Scalp Care for Low Hair Density
If you fall under the low hair density category, then you will need to keep a few things in mind when it comes to your hair & scalp regimen. Heavy, concentrated hair care products are a Big No-No! Hair cleansers, which are mild formulations free from the harmful chemicals & detergents usually found in shampoos, should be preferred. Heavy oils and conditioners with harsh chemicals should also be avoided.
Additionally, you should regularly use nourishing hair care products and oils (preferably clean-label & containing natural ingredients), to improve the overall health of your hair.
If you’re wondering where to start, we have designed a mild, nourishing hair cleanser containing the Goodness of powerful, natural ingredients like Hops, Capsicum & Ginseng. Our “Weak & Thinning Hair Cleanser” has been intensively formulated to gently clean and nourish your hair & scalp at the same time.
