Brief Answer: Nutrition, exercise, sound sleep. Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for writing back. The density of hair and thickness depends on the number of hair follicles and the size of hair follicle respectively. So the number and size of hair follicle is dependent on genetic makeup. But we can keep hair healthy and strong by following these suggestions: 1) Take a protein powder, multivitamin tablets and well balanced diet. 2) Avoid smoking if smoker, keep stress free and exercise regularly. 3) Massage your scalp once with warm olive oil. 4) Avoid conditioners as it may make hair look lean and can use volumising shampoo to add volume to hair. Better to consult your doctor once for examination. You may also apply minoxidil 5 percent solution over scalp to improve hair growth but with your doctor's advice. For improving your memory and to be active you need to have good nutritious food, sound sleep for continuous 7-8 hour sleep and regular minimum 30min exercises with more of revisions. Memory depends on the depth of knowledge and hence you need to understand the concept and need to recall the subject. These will help you. Hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask if any queries. If satisfied you can rate my answer and write a review as well. Take care,
