A WOMAN has revealed the secret behind her thick and healthy hair - and chances are, you've probably never done it.
We all know by now that shampooing is a must when it comes to maintaining a healthy mane - but according to one beauty buff, Claudia Silva, there's a step many of us skip.

While haircare experts often advise us to only shampoo our scalp, the real-life Rapunzel Claudia recently explained why she also shampoos her hair from top to bottom.
To make it even more effective and ensure the hair follicles are cleansed thoroughly, Claudia also uses a brush to go over her long locks.
Despite some assuming this unusual step is ''damaging'' for the tresses, Claudia recently took to TikTok where she proved everyone wrong.
''I'm giving myself so many split ends, I'm drying my hair out so much - and this is all because I like to brush shampoo through my hair.
''These are 90% of the comments that I receive daily whenever I post a hair brushing video.
''It is not true - my hair is actually the healthiest it's ever been.
''If it was damaging my hair, of course I would stop doing it,'' she told fellow beauty buffs in the video.
Claudia - who reminded that it's never ''one size fits all'' - added that now her favourite thing about her tresses is how ''full and thick'' the ends are.
''I have a few pet peeves when it comes to hair and one of them is long hair with thin ends - I cannot stand that.''
'It's made such a difference!'
Since being posted online, the video has won Claudia more than 560k views in just two days, with dozens flooding to comments.

While many may have not come across this step up until now, there were plenty of those who also swore by the brushing method.
One social media user claimed they've noticed epic results thanks to the easy step.
''I've started brushing shampoo after seeing your videos. It's made such a difference!
How often should you be washing your hair?
Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at Philip Kingsley spoke exclusively to Fabulous.
You take your hair and scalp to the same places you take your face, and it gets just as dirty.
Your scalp is also a living tissue; it sweats, produces oils and sheds skin cells.
You wouldn't leave two days between washing your face, and you likely wouldn't wear the same outfit more than a few times before washing it – apply the same thinking to your hair.
It is a myth that washing your hair too often causes your hair to get greasier.
''My blow dries last longer and hair is less oily and weighed down.''
Another chimed in: ''I feel like your hair smells so FRESH AND CLEAN.''
A third wrote: ''honestly ever since i tried brushing my shampoo and i never really looked back!''
''I've been doing this for the longest time with my shampoo and conditioner, my hair has never been better,'' commented a viewer.
