Hi Huda..well I have a problem and I don’t know who is the right person to turn to only you and I know you get so many questions already but if you can just help me with this I would be very grateful. You see my hair is so thin and flat and fine it makes me very uncomfortable. My husband even started to take notice and it makes me feel ugly….please help you are my beauty icon
Hi darling! You are sooo sweet and trust me, if you see me first thing in the morning you’ll know that I am NO beauty icon! We’re all the same, some of us just have some tricks up our sleeves, which is why I’m here:))
Darling I have the same exact problem! My hair may seem thick, but it is soooooo NOT! It’s sparse, my head is small, (I always have to buy extra small hats, which means if your head is small, your hair will look thinner) and I’m pretty sure I was balding at one point. Don’t worry, I can help!! Here are my best tips for giving your hair the volume you’ve always wanted!! I hope they help darling!!

- Biotin is your friend! Biotin has done WONDERS for not only my hair but also my clients and friends! Ok, don’t expect a miracle, but you can expect your hair to look anywhere from 10-30% thicker which in my book is pretty awesome!
- Use Volumizing Hair Masks! There will always be some ingredients that naturally give your hair natural volume! One of my FAVORITE things in nature is apple cider vinegar and one of my favorite ways to use it is in my hair! There are so many hair masks that you can use to give your hair serious bounce!
- Might sound crazy, but keep your hair on the Dry Side! Hair that is too oily or shiny is flat. Quite frankly it’s hard to have volume and shiny hair, but you can always keep your ends slightly glossy and your roots a bit more clean. I like to use dry shampoo after I fix my hair and it really helps give my hair volume!
- Tease, Tease, TEASE! Teasing your hair is a MUST! Every celebrity does it and it makes such a HUGE difference, literally! I always tease before I go out to an important event, but sometimes at home I just do the back a bit and it makes my hair look alive! I love teasing with a tooth brush, it’s my favorite thing to use! Check out the difference in these photos when I have no teasing vs mega teasing!
- Use Volumizers! Volumizers are Awwwwwsome!! I love them! I love blow drying my hair, then using a volumizer all over! I flip my hair upside down and blow dry it after I apply it and it helps boosts my hair to serious height!

Hi darling! I personally love the Volumizer for Bed Head Queen for a day! I did a full review here
Also I personally take Biotin Capsules, but I have friends who have used the shampoo and said they had amazing results!
Hi Huda. I am new to your blog, and LOVE IT!!! Thanks for all of the beauty advice. Do you think the apple cider vinegar mask is safe for colored hair? Also, could you give some pointers on exactly HOW you tease with a toothbrush?? Thanks so much

Doing a video! Coming right up!!

i have heard so many people say that biotin gave them acne.. i’m scared to use it.. also can i take biotin along with my fish oil pills?
Hi darling, I’m curious as to why that happened, unfortunately I don’t have any information on that as I have not heard that before. I personally take Biotin every day and I do take it with my Fish Oil and it’s fine. If you are worried about anything, you can always speak to your doctor!
I agree Huda, your beauty is iconic
You’re waaaay too sweet!
These are some seriously awesome and very helpful tips! Thanks a bunch! Xx
I have tried the apple cider vinegar hair rinse and boy was it awesome!! My only concern is the stink even after i rinse it with cold H2O and some say it will lighten your hair color so i stopped using, is their anything to solve this issue because i really love this!
Ditto on the hair teasing, can you do a video tut on how is it done using the toothbrush PLEASE? Much appreciated, thanks
You got it!
yes huda please tell me what to do with the vinegar smelling afterwards? even after rinsing? plzzzzzzzzzz answer xxx
Hi darling! I always rinse with water! I typically use less vinegar! Sometimes I only use a little and dilute it with water, I know the smell is terrible, but it only lasts a while if you dilute it with water!
Hi Huda I love your blog!! which supplements are better to use boitin or omega 3 for hair loss!! I dont really want to be taking both and I am really confused!! thanks for your help!
Cool Tips.. but i think Apple Cider Vineger makes skin dry.. don’t you think it will squeeze the juice out of hair..?? i don’t know..
Very helpful!
Hey Huda, i would love to try biotin pills but biotin isnt available here in new zealand. could you recommend a reputable and safe website where i can order them from? i ordered a bottle of biotin supplements from a site called biovea.com but im ver sceptical nd hesitant to take them as im not sure if they’re safe and legit? lol please recommend a reliable place to order them from or even what you take yourself?
