Achieving thick, luscious locks is a desire for most people; however, it can often feel out of reach.
Applying the right tips and techniques can be the solution, which one celebrity hairstylist believes is the answer for individuals.
Founder of Studio 23 Jason Collier spoke exclusively to GB News about the "tried-and-tested strategies" he recommended to all his clients who want to grow "thicker and longer hair that does not involve products".
He said: "First and foremost, scalp care is non-negotiable. A healthy scalp creates the right environment for hair growth, so regular scalp massages are essential.
The hairstylist recommended massaging your scalp to encourage growth

A study published in the National Library of Medicine explained the importance of scalp care for your hair.
It noted: "Standardised scalp massage is a way to transmit mechanical stress to human dermal papilla cells in subcutaneous tissue. Hair thickness was shown to increase with standardised scalp massage."
Alongside scalp health, a "simple yet effective" tip is switching your pillowcase to silk.
He said: "It reduces friction and helps minimise breakage while you sleep, especially important for anyone with fragile or fine hair."
While it may seem counterproductive, regular trims are a good idea to "prevent split ends travelling up the hair shaft".
The celebrity hairstylist explained this would produce "healthier ends and, ultimately, longer lengths over time".
Jason emphasised the importance of lifestyle on hair loss and how it also plays a "huge role". He encouraged people to stay well-hydrated and eat a "well-balanced diet".

He shared: "A diet rich in protein, iron, zinc and omega-3 fatty acids is vital for maintaining strong, thick hair.
"Lastly, stress management can make a surprising difference. High-stress levels can trigger shedding and thinning, so finding ways to unwind, whether through mindfulness, better sleep or movement, can help restore vitality and improve hair density over time."
Another hairstylist who has been in the industry for 30 years, shared a specific chop which can be particularly transformative for mature women.
Asked which haircut she would recommend for over 50s, they praised face-framing layers. These, as defined by the beauty gurus at L'Oréal Paris, are the "shorter pieces of hair strategically cut around the face for body and movement".
