According to dermatologists at the Cleveland Clinic, application of antioxidants on the scalp might do the trick.

Other ways to improve hair thickness?

Olive oil massage: Oil has long been used in Indian and ayurvedic medicine to promote thick hair. Olive oil in particular is rich in omega 3. Heat oil to body temperature and massage it into hair, before washing it off after half an hour, according to Medical News Today.

Proteins: Incorporating protein-heavy foods into the diet can promote hair health. Greek yogurt and nuts (walnuts, almonds, etc) are two good options.

Aloe: Aloe gel is a hair treatment that may promote overall scalp health and hair thickness, again according to Medical News Today. 🪴
