5 ingredients you should look for in your shampoo if you want thick and strong hair

Never heard of it? No worries. Saw palmetto is a plant extract that quietly does some serious work. Like caffeine, it blocks DHT (aka the villain behind hair thinning), which means it helps you hang on to the hair you’ve got and might even encourage more to grow.

It’s especially good if you’re dealing with hair that’s thinning around the crown or temples. Not super common in every shampoo yet, but worth hunting down.

So., now what?

Next time you’re picking a shampoo, flip it around and look at the back (yeah, the boring part). If you see any of these ingredients on there, score! That means you’re giving your hair some actual TLC, not just masking the problem with perfume and bubbles.

And just a heads-up: your hair won’t transform overnight (sadly), but with a little consistency and the right stuff in your routine, you’ll def start seeing and feeling the difference.

Here’s to hair that’s strong, thick, and full of “OMG what shampoo do you use?” vibes.
