COVID-19 took a toll on us for a lot of reasons and if you’re someone who was unfortunate enough to experience it first-hand – you may know what we’re talking about. Not only did coronavirus create chaos with our internal systems, and even our skin, but for some, it even caused thinning hair and hair loss!
And just like many others, we aren’t going to be so blasé about it! Dah-ling, hair shedding is not something to be taken lightly. So what can we do about this?
Number 4 has you covered with our top tips to thicken up your hair and leave you looking as good as new in no time! From the best growth products to the ultimate illusion hairstyles – say au revoir to thinning hair.
Wash Your Hair Enough… but Not Too Much
Yes, we know this is confusing but we’ll explain. We’re looking for what you might call… the Goldilocks amount, as the washing hair schedule for thinning hair needs to be just right. And this seems to be between 2-3 times per week especially for those experiencing hair loss.
Your hair’s natural oils are essential for healthy hair. For shine and general hair health, there is nothing better than letting mother nature do her thing.
So… a dirty truth about overwashing is that it could actually be worsening your hair loss!
But (and there is a but) – under washing your hair can actually be much worse! Especially if you’re someone who uses a lot of product in your hair, the build-up can be extremely bad for your scalp and can prevent hair from growing!
Not washing your hair enough can also lead to limp-looking hair (ugh!! we know right?), lacking in volume, making your hair appear even thinner.
So this brings us to our next point…
But we’re only human. And sometimes a GHD is the only answer on our worst BHDs!
So if you’re going to reach for the flat iron, be sure to use your Thermal Styling Spray from Number 4, to shield your mane from its wrath. Plus, enjoy a bit of hold too for the ultimate stay-all-day style!
Fake It ‘Till You Make It!
The Best Hairstyles for the Illusion of Thick Hair…
The Blunt Bob
Become a blunt bob babe and have all your friends thinking your hair has grown overnight!
The sharp edge provides a fool-proof illusion of thick hair, effortlessly! No extra styling necessary… say no more!
The ‘Messy’ Pony
The fluffy or ‘messy’ pony is a fan favorite and never gets old.
Start by spraying your Sugar Texturizing Spray directly into the roots of your hair for an instant, effortless lift. Then loosely gather your hair at the crown of your head before securing with a hair tie.
We know what you’re thinking… yes it really is that easy.
The Long Layers
Another style to keep the flat hair at bay – long, lightweight layers. Ask your stylist to bless you with this tousled cut and watch as effortless becomes you.
Stay chic, on-fleek and never bleak.
Simply add some of your trusty Texture Styling Cream from Number 4 and you’re ready to take on the world.
What thinning hair? We told you there was good news!
Choose the Right Shampoo and Conditioner to Prevent Hair Loss and Thinning!
Don’t Underestimate the Power of Shampoo
Choosing the right shampoo is essential to disguising and protecting thinning hair, as well as preventing future hair loss. Though, despite what some companies will allow you to believe, shampoo cannot magically thicken hair! Though it can help to add a little oomf and enhance your fabulousness…
Our Number 4 Hair Volumizing Shampoo will be your new best friend! It’s perfect for hair with a medium to fine texture to add a lightweight moisture, without sacrificing shine… so you’ll always feel picture perfect dah-ling!
Free of all the bad stuff, not only will it nourish your hair and keep it healthy – this shampoo can instill the confidence that Covid-19 tried so hard, and failed to take from you!!
Careful With the Conditioner
Conditioner is non-negotiable for beautiful hair, babe. We all know that. But is it possible to overdo it? Oui!
Overdoing it with your conditioner can actually leave your hair looking lifeless, oily and THIN. The exact opposite of what you’re going for.
Number 4 have the perfect solution with their lightweight Volumizing Condition. Shine and volume can come as a package deal and the proof is right here!
The lightweight formula is unlike other conditioners, as it helps to look thick without weighing down those luscious locks!
Though there is one condition – only use the recommended amount! You know what they say about too much of a good thing…
Beat the Heat!
Hot tools are convenient and addictive, trust us we know. But if you’re seriously looking at protecting your sparse locks and preventing further hair loss – the consequences might be worse than this goodbye…
Too much heat just adds to breakage and thins hair even further, so using hot tools on the daily is possibly not the best choice to make.

The smell was so amazing, had a great lather and made my hair feel incredible. Unfortunately, it made my scalp very oily and even caused me to break-out on my scalp and at my hairline. I have an oily scalp and was looking for a clarifying shampoo to help minimize my oil but this is sadly not the product for me; it seems more suited for dry, damaged and color-treated hair. I took one star off because it didn’t clarify but added moisture, another star deducted since it made me break-out and another star removed as the price is exorbitant, especially considering it doesn’t accomplish what it’s intended for.

By far the best shampoo I have used.

LOVE this shampoo!!! I cannot express this enough. I used to have to wash my hair every day due to dirt and oil collected at the scalp area. Since I’ve been using this product, I am not in that vicious cycle anymore! I can skip shampooing and thus treating my hair better!

Best shampoo I have ever used, and I have used a ton! This leaves my hair soft and shiny, and sometimes I don’t have to use a conditioner after I have used it because of how nourishing it is! Love this stuff and have the big bottle!

This is a fantastic product. I don’t love it quite as much as the hydrating shampoo, but it smells lovely and leaves my hair clean and soft.

This was is perfect for anyone who needs a deep clean. My hair is so weighed down by product after a few days and I was very pleased with how clean and livelier my hair was after using. Smells great too.

I am obsessed with the line, after a got a few samples from Birch box, I went out and bought a bunch of products, so I was estatic to get new (to me) samples this month from my birchbox. As expected they were amazing. Hair felt clean and not striped. Full of life and healthy. I followed with a few drops of their oil. I Love that they don’t have any crappy chemicals and most of, if not all of their products are vegan.

I got like three uses out of a sample packet for this shampoo and that’s impressive!
A little certainly goes a long, long way..(especially when you have rather short hair) But just like the other products i tried, this smells amazing!
It’s a different than most shampoo kind of smell in the best way possible. I felt like i was in some kind of high maitanence hollywood salon. My hair felt and looked wonderful, combated my frizziness due to overly curly hair. I just love this product!
Love all n4’s products (:
Amazing! –
Super rich lather, smells wonderful, and left my wavy hair shiny :). A little goes a very very long way, so start with a small amount and add more as necessary. Enjoy!

This shampoo is great! It smells nice and cleans and freshens my hair. Love this formula and that a little bit goes a long way.

This shampoo is my holy grail! I would be one frizzy headed girl without it. It smells so fresh and makes my hair unbelievably shiny!!!

I am so surprised that a clarifying shampoo can make my hair feel so silky. Normally my hair is “squeeky” clean after a clarifying shampoo. Not with this. It is very thick and I love the scent as well.
