Brilio.net - Thin hair is a condition where hair loses volume and appears less than healthy and thick hair. One of the main causes of thin hair is genetic factors. Some people are born with hair types that tend to be finer and thinner.
In addition, age also plays a significant role. As we age, hair growth can slow down, and hair strands become more fragile and fall out easily, leading to hair thinning. Hormonal changes can also affect hair thickness, especially in women who are experiencing pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid disorders.
During these times, hormonal fluctuations can cause hair to become thinner or even fall out. Excessive stress is also known to trigger hair loss, which can ultimately make hair appear thinner.
Bad habits such as excessive use of hot styling tools, frequent hair coloring, or washing hair with shampoos containing harsh chemicals can also damage the hair structure and cause hair to become brittle and thin.
In addition, unhealthy eating habits, such as a lack of nutrients that are essential for hair health, can also worsen thinning hair. Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D, iron, and biotin can also affect hair growth and scalp health.
To overcome this, most people will use hair growth tonic sold on the market to thicken thin hair. In fact, there is a natural way that is more pocket-friendly, but the results are no less effective than market hair tonic. Like the upload from a TikTok user with the account name @bindiatamayo6.
In his upload, the account owner actually only relies on 1 type of leaf to overcome thin hair to make it thick again. The leaf in question is cassava leaves. Not only that, he also added lemon juice to maximize its function.

Contains cassava leaves to thicken hair.Cassava leaves can thicken hair because of its nutritional content which is rich in vitamins and minerals. Cassava leaves contain vitamins A, C, and B complex, which play an important role in stimulating hair growth and maintaining the strength of hair roots. Vitamin A helps improve blood circulation in the scalp, while vitamin C functions as an antioxidant that protects hair from damage caused by free radicals.
In addition, cassava leaves are also rich in iron and calcium which are important for strengthening hair follicles and preventing hair loss. The protein content in cassava leaves can also help repair brittle hair structure, provide moisture, and make hair look thicker and healthier.
Benefits of lemon for healthy hair.Lemons can be healthy for hair because of their high vitamin C content, which acts as a powerful antioxidant to protect hair from damage caused by free radicals and pollution. Vitamin C is also important for the production of collagen, which plays a role in strengthening the hair structure and keeping hair follicles healthy.
In addition, lemon has antibacterial and antiseptic properties that can cleanse the scalp from dirt and excess oil, reducing the risk of infection or scalp problems such as dandruff. The citric acid in lemon also helps balance the pH of the scalp, controls excess oil production, and gives hair a natural shine.
