Having thick hair means that you have more hair per square inch of scalp, or strands of hair that are wider in width.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, if you have finer hair, you will have less hair per inch of scalp, or strands with a thinner width, leaving more visible skin.

Not all hair is the same width, and the terms thick and thin can refer to the width of individual hair strands or the number of hairs per inch of the scalp.

Keep every type of hair healthy

Each type of hair needs its own special care because there are different factors that go into the overall health of your hair.

We’ll start with thick hair and the best way to keep it healthy!

Thick hair will use up a ton of shampoo and conditioner, so it’s best to have a shampoo that works for you. If your hair is drier, hair masks and leave-in conditioners will be your best friends.
