Have you ever wondered, "Do I have low hair density?" And if your answer was a clear "yes," then the next question would likely be, "How can I increase my hair density?" Those of us with low-density hair know the struggle to achieve thicker, denser hair or to encourage hair regrowth. But perhaps the question you should be asking is: "Do I have fine hair or low hair density?" because they are two very different things.
do you have fine hair or low density hair? learn the difference
Hair is considered fine when the diameter of the strand is smaller than a thread, and generally, the hair lacks volume. This trait is largely determined by genetics, meaning you can have fine hair but still have high hair density.
Hair density refers to the number of hair follicles per square centimeter of the scalp. Low density of hair occurs when the number of hair fibers is scarce. You can often see this by looking at your hair part. If your parting is getting wider and you can easily see your scalp, it indicates you have low hair density.
the impact of lifestyle on hair density
Worry increases when both conditions—fine hair and low hair density—are present. Factors like lifestyle, age, stress, or environmental influences can disrupt the circadian cycles and phases of hair growth. This can lead to cells not regenerating properly, resulting in slower hair growth and weaker strands.

The final outcome is reduced hair density, with hair follicles becoming smaller and producing thinner, weaker hair over time.
If this sounds like you, the Black Baccara collection is your ultimate ally.
how to increase hair density
We all want stronger, fuller hair, but as we’ve seen, there are certain factors in our modern urban lifestyle that can negatively affect hair density. That’s why I’ve been researching the impact of chronic stress, lack of oxygenation, hormonal changes, and premature aging, which leads to decreased density and weakened hair.
To increase hair density, you need to:
1. Ensure normal hair growth, even under stress and low oxygenation conditions.
2. Promote optimal oxygen delivery to the cells and follicles to ensure proper cell regeneration and, thus, hair growth.
3. Counteract the effects of stress on hair by reducing cortisol levels and boosting follicle vitality.
4. Strengthen both the follicles and the hair itself, providing strength from within the fiber and root to revive severely damaged and extremely weak hair.
5. Incorporate an exfoliant to purify and reduce the effects of toxins, such as sweat and excess oil that accumulate on the scalp and contribute to slower hair growth.
essential care to increase hair density
With these goals in mind, I worked with the R&D lab to formulate the new products in the Black Baccara collection, which focus on stimulating hair growth that has slowed due to lifestyle factors.
Along with the Concentrate, I have included these products in a powerful ritual to boost hair density: the Black Baccara Ultimate Hair Growth Ritual (Phase 1). It’s designed as an intensive treatment to stimulate the growth of healthy hair, rebuild the internal structure of hair fibers damaged by chemical treatments or heat tools, and protect against both external and internal damage.
dermatologically tested results:
• 100% of study participants saw denser hair, an improvement in hair thickness, and reduced redness.
• Growth of up to +9,600 new hairs.
• An increase in hair density of up to 14%.
• An improvement in hair thickness of up to 26%.
