Do you have any idea about your hair loses its elasticity and is so thin that it doesn’t look like it used to be? Does exercise make your hair thicker?
Find out, what causes your hair to be thin and take proper action to grow it as strongest, and thick, splendid as it used to be.
First, let’s look at the mechanism by which hair become thin from the perspective of heredity, structure, and cause.
Generally, the thickness of the hair is determined to some extent by the natural constitution. If your scalp and hair are in good condition, your hair will grow innately, determined thickness. Here, we find that it is virtually impossible to say “thicker than this!”
However, there is some reason when your hair becomes thinner had acquired you can regain your hair thickness.
Understanding the structure of hair and knowing what causes it to become thinner will help you to regain hair thickness.
Cortex determines the thickness of the hair First; let’s know about the structure of the hair. The category of Hair is divided into three layers, each with its role.
Outside: cuticle in hard scaly, hair gloss, impact on the feeling
inside: in the cortex fibrous, hair flexibility and thickness to influence
the medulla soft, there is an insulation effect: core affects Well, the thickness of the hair is a cortex made up of fibrous proteins. Hair thickness is determined by whether this ratio is high or low.
Next, let’s look at the main causes of thinning hair.
Causes of hair thinning
The degree of growth of hair is determined by heredity, but it is divided into three stages: when the person is born, the growth stage, percentage of hair thinning in women is more than the men and the catagen stage. You can also see that the baby’s hair is fluffy and soft, the hair at birth is the softest, it grows thicker during the growth period around 14 to 24 years old, and after that, it becomes thinner with age. It corresponds to.
However, if your hair becomes thinner than before in a short period, you may have androgenetic alopecia (AGA). This is a thinning hair symptom in which hair is gradually thinned and eventually stops growing due to the production of a hair loss substance triggered by male hormones.
Well, I told you that it is possible to regain the thickness of thinned hair, but one of the methods is moderate exercise. Let me explain specifically what kind of exercise is effective.
Moderate exercise is effective in delivering important nutrition to the hair and scalp.
Now let’s see how exercise and hair health are related.
Lack of exercise is a natural enemy of hair
Lack of exercise is cited as one of the causes of thinning hair and hair loss. Of course, lack of exercise can also cause your hair to become thinner.
Nowadays, people tend to lack exercise. In a life where you work at your desk on weekdays, rest at home on holidays, or spend your time quietly watching movies and tea even when you go out, you will inevitably lack exercise.
When asked if their exercise was sufficient, 80% of the respondents answered that they were “insufficient in exercise.” Except for occupations such as agriculture, forestry and fisheries and logistics services, where there are many physical exercise elements, it seems that most occupations are aware of the lack of exercise.
That’s why so many people lack the exercises they need to grow their hair.
An exercise you want to regain your hair thickness
For those who want to thicken their hair, aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming are recommended. Continued aerobic exercise will help you gradually regain your hair health.
Let’s check the definitions of aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise here.
Aerobic Exercise
It refers to continuous exercise that feels mild to the moderate burden. It is called aerobic exercise because it takes oxygen into the body and moves the body for a long time.
■ Typical aerobic exercise
walking
jogging
Running (other than a sprint)
cycling
swimming
Skipping rope
It refers to short-term exercise that applies a high-intensity load. It is called anaerobic exercise because it requires very little oxygen (* it is written as anaerobic, but it is not necessary at all) and it moves instantaneously.
■ Typical anaerobic exercise
Sprint (short-distance running such as 50m and 100m)
Strength training in general
Shot put
Weightlifting
The effect of promoting blood circulation in aerobic exercise
One of the causes of thinning hair is poor circulation of the scalp, which causes poor nutrition of the hair. Aerobic exercise, on the other hand, has the effect of dilating blood vessels throughout the body to improve blood flow throughout the body, including the scalp.
In other words, if aerobic exercise improves blood circulation, it can be expected that the scalp and hair will be nourished and the hair will grow thicker.
Exercise that even busy people can easily do
By the way, some people may say that aerobic exercise is effective, but “I can’t afford to spend time jogging.” Here are some aerobic exercises and training that you can practice in your daily life without spending time.

Improvement methods that you want to incorporate along with exercise
Use of hair restorer
In order to regain the thickness of the hair, it is effective to incorporate not only exercise but also a hair restorer. Hair restorers contain ingredients that promote blood circulation in the scalp, which can further promote blood circulation improved by exercise.
Improvement of eating habits
To thicken hair, you need various nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals.
Try to actively eat green and yellow vegetables that contain iron, which has a blood circulation promoting effect, and on the contrary, refrain from fried foods that cause poor blood circulation.
It’s up to you to thicken your hair
The thickness of hair is almost fixed by nature, and the reason why it becomes thinner than that is that the health of hair is impaired, and it is possible to regain the thickness of hair by improving blood circulation by aerobic exercise.
I proposed a little aerobic exercise method that you can practice in your daily life, but either give up saying “I can’t do that” or “Let’s move only a little but two floors of stairs” “Let’s go up and down the stairs without getting on the escalator” It makes a difference depending on what you think. It’s up to you to regain your hair thickness.
Not only exercise, but also dietary improvement and scalp care. The sense of accomplishment that “I did it today, I did it” leads to the confidence that I can do it tomorrow. Start and continue what you can do, small or small, to grow strong hair.
