 NYC-based salon stylist Elba Rodriguez has worked both in the salon and on the road with the John Frieda brand for over 20 years.

She shared haircare tips with The U.S. Sun to fluff your locks and get volume.

POTENTIAL PROBS

The John Frieda House of Frieda Ambassador said there are many things that contribute to thinning.

They can range from dietary concerns to other hormonal issues.

Circumstances can include age, hormones, nutrition, stress, pregnancy, genetics, surgery, illness, and medications.

TRUSTED TIPS

"Scalp and hair health is crucial to help get fuller-looking hair and choosing the right products is an important step," Rodriguez said.

She shared some of her tried-and-true go-to products from John Frieda's ULTRAFiller+ line.

All products contain hyaluronic acid to hydrate and biotin to promote hair growth.

When combined, the ULTRAFiller+ Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner have a volumizing effect.

First, shampoo the scalp and hair strands generously.

Then, condition the hair lightly mid-length, and rub it through the ends.

Make sure to rinse thoroughly so there is no leftover product.

Next, on damp hair, "liberally spray" on the John Frieda ULTRAFiller+ Thickening Spray on the roots, mid-length, and ends.

It is specifically meant to make hair look thicker.

Comb the product through before blow drying.

Rodriquez recommended choosing a lower heat setting to maximize the volume and fullness.

PRODUCT PICKS

The hair guru suggested a few cheap beauty buys that help promote growth.

"Collagen peptides are an affordable supplement to aid in hair growth," she said.

She specifically recommended the Viviscal Hair Growth Oral Supplement, which contains collagen complex to promote healthy, fuller hair from the inside out.

It comes in tablet form and should be taken twice a day.

She said a month’s supply can range from $30 to $40, but it is currently available on Amazon for $33.99.

The powder form is the easiest to add to your daily routine because you can mix it with coffee, tea, or water.

She said that a month's supply can cost between $20 to $30, but it all depends on usage.
