If you have very fine strands, then you may be worried about losing more strands or hiding a visible scalp. You can fix the problem by trying out a protein-rich treatment that can plump up your mane. A banana protein smoothie is composed of bananas and eggs which are rich in amino acids, and it can strengthen your mane, and improve its elasticity and thickness. These are a great natural way to help the fine strands in your hair to become thicker and stronger.
How to use it: blend two ripe bananas, two egg yolks, two tablespoons of honey, two tablespoons of olive oil, and half a cup of conditioner until the mixture is fully pureed. Slather all over your head and let it stay there for 20 minutes and then wash it off with cold water. If you use too hot of water, the eggs could start to cook themselves within your hair. Once your hair is finely washed, dry as normal.

Dry brittle strands do not only look dull, but they can also start breaking off. In this situation, you should use egg yolks. The egg yolks will nourish and strengthen your strands.

Another great natural way to help with your hair troubles.
How to use it: Mix lemon into the egg yolks to reduce the smell of the egg. Apply the mixture and let it remain there for about 30 minutes to one hour to penetrate the strands. This treatment will strengthen your strands. Once you have let the egg yolks sit, wash your hair finely with cold water. Hot water might start to cook the eggs and cause a bigger mess.
Dry, Damaged Tresses
If you have dry, damaged tresses, then you should moisturize them. If you don’t moisturize it, you may end up with split ends, breakage, and frizz. If you want to fix this issue, you should use coconut oil, which is a thick oil that can penetrate two layers of your strands. The great part about using coconut oil is that it’s readily available anywhere and affordable. A versatile component that can help your damaged hair when used consistently.
How to use it: Warm one tablespoon of coconut oil in the microwave and massage it into damp hair and sleep with it. You should wear a shower cap or any other protective cap to prevent making a greasy mess on your pillows. In the morning, rinse it out. You should only use coconut oil on the dry and damaged areas, which usually begin from the mid-shaft to the end. If you put too much in your hair, especially in the areas that don’t need the oil, it will make your hair greasy. Continue this process until those dry areas start to become finer hair.
