Hair volume is often determined by genetic factors – the number of hair follicles we have in a given area of the scalp and the thickness of each individual strand. Some people naturally enjoy thick, voluminous hair, while others feel like they have “just a few strands left.”
Although we cannot increase the number of hair follicles, we can influence how many hairs are in the active growth phase and improve their overall condition, which contributes to the appearance of fuller hair. Hair volume is also affected by overall health, nutrition, and hair care habits.
Start by Identifying the Cause
If you have always had thick hair but notice a sudden decrease in volume, it is worth consulting a doctor and performing the necessary tests. Nutrient deficiencies may also be reflected in fatigue, as well as changes in the skin or nails. Hair volume can also be linked to thyroid issues.
Hair loss is often associated with a condition known as telogen effluvium, where more hairs than usual enter the “resting” phase and fall out. Normally, around 85–90% of hair is in the growth (anagen) phase, so any disruption to this balance can visibly reduce density.
Nutrition also plays a major role in hair health. If hair density has decreased, it is recommended to include more fatty fish, vegetables, fruits, and plant-based oils in your diet. Nutrients essential for healthy hair include vitamins B5 and B7 (biotin), as well as protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin D.
Hormonal imbalance and stress also significantly impact hair condition. Reduced hair volume is often noticed after pregnancy or during menopause, when the body undergoes various changes. Stress, in particular, can shorten the hair growth phase and accelerate hair shedding.
Importance of Hair Care
Improper hair care is one of the most common reasons why hair becomes thinner and appears weakened. Chemically damaged hair – for example, from bleaching or heat styling – tends to break more easily, making overall hair volume appear lower.
It is important to understand that sometimes the issue is not reduced hair quantity, but breakage along the length, which visually reduces density.
In such cases, it is beneficial to incorporate more nourishing and hydrating products into your routine, use heat protection, and reduce the frequency of heat styling. It is also important to pay attention to product composition – not only the origin of ingredients, but also their effectiveness and suitability for your hair type.
Which Products to Choose to Increase Hair Density?
One of the most popular Luxeol product lines is designed to stimulate hair growth by combining care from both the inside and outside. When used consistently for at least 3 months, visible results can be expected – including a higher number of hairs in the growth (anagen) phase and visibly fuller hair.

Food Supplements for Hair Density, Growth, and Strength
These are the most popular Luxeol products, with over half a million packs sold annually in French pharmacies. They are designed to support hair growth and the perception of density by acting on both the hair bulb and its structure.
Arugula extract stimulates hair follicles, while horsetail supports growth. Selenium, zinc, and vitamin B8 help maintain normal hair condition. These plant-based capsules are suitable for all hair types and easy to incorporate into a daily routine.
According to user tests, 67% of participants reported visibly denser hair after taking one capsule daily for 3 months.
Hair Density Routine
- Shampoo (3x per week)
- Hair mask (3x per week, after shampoo, leave for 10 minutes)
- Conditioner (3x per week after shampoo and mask)
- Serum (twice daily, 1–2 drops massaged into the scalp)
- Supplements (1 capsule daily)
Hair density is not determined by genetics alone – it is influenced by a combination of factors we can actively manage. A balanced diet, stress management, proper care, and consistency can help restore strength, vitality, and the appearance of fuller hair. The key is to choose solutions that work holistically and give them time to deliver results.
