Hi,
By "naturally", what do you mean? There are many ways to do things "naturally", but it does not guarantee that it is healthy or safe.
There are some products on the market that are in the shampoo and conditioner-realm (again, is this "natural"?) that you can read about at the beauty site Marie Claire. Do you know how healthy your child's scalp is? There are also some scalp tonics that s/he can try.
There are also styling techniques you can use (I'm not sure how old your child is??), and you can read about them here, including these non-product tips:
- "Texture can come from your own natural hair oils, although in this hygiene-happy time we usually wash our hair too frequently for secretions to build up. If you can wash your hair every other day, or even every third day, it will feel and act thicker.
- Consider making a little saltwater solution in a spray bottle at home — several good shakes of salt in a cup of water will do — and spritzing it on your roots. The salt will cling as the water dries, giving you a fresh-from-the-beach feeling and infusing some roughness into your hair. The extra texture will lend added volume."
- "Blow your hair dry upside down, with your head flipped over and the heat directed at your roots. Dry the hair this way first and then turn your head up if you want to style a certain section."
- "A good way to keep some of the volume that blow-drying produces is to put Velcro curlers in your hair while it cools down. Use small curlers for tight curls, medium-sized for medium curls and big rollers for loose waves."
Are you worried about your child's hair or scalp, or is his/her hair extremely fine that it is unhealthy?
Let us know what styling techniques you try that work to increase volume, and I'm curious to know if the saltwater trick works!
