Do you dream about having longer, stronger, and thicker hair? Do you have thin and limp strands that you are at your wit's end with when it comes to styling and creating lasting volume? Trust us when we say that you are not alone!

When it comes to hair goals, one of the most common ones that we hear is that both men and women alike want to grow thicker hair but aren’t entirely sure what they can do – or if it’s even possible. We’ll we’ve got a secret for you – not only is it possible, but we can tell you how! Below, we’ll let you in on our top three things that you can start doing today to transform your hair.

Trim Your Hair More Frequently

We know what you’re thinking… isn’t cutting your hair counterintuitive? Believe it or not, getting frequent trims helps your hair grow longer and thicker. The reason is because the ends of our hair are typically the most damaged. When hair is damaged, it breaks off and stretches out, which makes your strands thinner and shorter. When you get a trim every six to eight weeks, you remove the damaged ends, which prevents the damage from traveling up your hair. You don’t need to take a lot off either, you can do a half inch to an inch too.

 

Change Your Style

If you’ve been struggling to add length, thickness, and volume to your hair, reconsider your style. Chopping off a few inches and going with a new do is a great way to get rid of all your damaged ends, remove dead weight off of your locks, and freshen up your hair. Shorter hair instantly makes your hair look and feel thicker and gives you a clean slate for your hair!

 

Use the Right Products

The products that you use on your hair truly matter. Traditional shampoos and conditioners strip and dry out your hair, which leads to weak and brittle hair prone to breakage. New Wash is an innovative hair wash formula that isn’t shampoo, yet it still cleans and conditions your hair. It won’t strip your hair or scalp and makes your hair softer and more manageable. What more could you ask for in a hair wash?

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can you actually grow thicker, longer hair?
    Yes, growing thicker and longer hair is absolutely possible with the right approach. By trimming regularly, reconsidering your hairstyle, and switching to the right hair care products, both men and women can meaningfully transform the look and feel of their hair.
  • Does cutting your hair actually help it grow thicker?
    Yes — even though it seems counterintuitive, getting frequent trims helps hair grow longer and thicker. The ends of your hair are typically the most damaged, and damaged hair breaks off and stretches out, making strands thinner and shorter. Trimming every six to eight weeks removes those damaged ends and stops the damage from traveling further up the hair shaft.
  • How much should you trim to promote thicker hair growth?
    You don't need to take off much — trimming just a half inch to an inch every six to eight weeks is enough to remove damaged ends and prevent breakage from spreading. This small, consistent maintenance habit can make a significant difference in the overall thickness and length of your hair over time.
  • How does changing your hairstyle help make hair look thicker?
    Chopping off a few inches and going with a new, shorter style removes all damaged ends at once and eliminates dead weight from your locks. Shorter hair instantly looks and feels thicker, and gives you a clean slate for healthier growth going forward.
  • Why do traditional shampoos make hair weak and prone to breakage?
    Traditional shampoos contain detergents that strip and dry out your hair, leaving it weak, brittle, and prone to breakage. This damage compounds over time, making it much harder to grow long, thick hair. Switching to a detergent-free hair wash can help break that cycle.
  • What is New Wash and how does it help with hair thickness?
    New Wash by Hairstory is an innovative detergent-free cleansing cream that cleans and conditions hair in one step — without stripping the scalp or drying out strands the way traditional shampoo does. It leaves hair softer and more manageable, helping reduce the breakage that keeps hair from growing long and thick.
  • What are the top things you can do today to grow thicker hair?
    The three most impactful steps are: trim your hair every six to eight weeks to remove damaged ends that cause breakage; consider a shorter style to remove dead weight and reset your hair's health; and replace your traditional shampoo with a sulfate-free, detergent-free wash like New Wash (Original) that won't strip or weaken your strands.
