I always had thin hair until I started using Ordinary's serum & I noticed new growth in a month – it's thicker & softer
MANY people want to get thick, luscious locks, but it can be hard to know which product is best for you. One woman shared how she'd had thin hair her 'whole life', but noticed huge growth and thickness with one product from The Ordinary. 3 3 She used their Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density, which costs £20.80, but has numerous five star reviews. The product is a 'concentrated leave-in formula' which is designed to support your scalp and leave you with 'thicker, denser, fuller-looking hair.' The formula includes 'peptide technologies alongside a series of plant-based extracts.' All you need to do is massage a few drops onto your clean, dry scalp once daily, ideally at bedtime - and there's no need to wash off. One person who loved its effects, left a five-star review on the product page and shared striking before and after photos. She explained: 'I have always had thin hair my whole life - and the last 5 years it has thinned even more from stress and health issues. 'I decided to try this. 'It was easy to add into my routine at night - and I first noticed that my hair was so much more clean and healthy! 'It wasn't as greasy as it usually could be on day 2 or 3 with no hair wash and it also had a softer and smoother texture, which was amazing after having dyed my hair so many times.' As well as using The Ordinary's serum, she also combined it with a glycolic acid treatment two to three times a week to exfoliate her scalp and add moisture to her hair. Pregnant Georgia Harrison reveals her glam new look ahead of Ibiza trip She continued: 'The change in my hair health was amazing - I had pretty hair! 'I noticed new growth a month or two after starting and was thrilled. 'After six months, my hair had become thicker and more healthy and soft and luscious. 'I love this product and highly recommend it, along with the glycolic acid for increasing your hair density.' Another person joked that it was a 'remedy for us Gollums.' They shared: 'This product is a game changer, truly. I can't recommend it enough.' Rush hair expert reveals how to repair damaged hair TINA Farey, Editorial director at Rush Hair, shares her advice… HOW TO RESTORE DAMAGED HAIR Whilst you can't fully reserve the effects of damaged hair, you can stop the problem from growing. Depending on the condition of your hair, I'd recommend getting a trim every six to eight weeks - this will prevent any split ends from travelling further up the hair shaft, which weakens the hair's overall structure and leads to more breakage. Even just an inch of the ends will completely transform the appearance of your hair – trust me. When it comes to products to help restore damaged hair, Goldwell's Rich Repair Treatment Mask is a firm favourite – strengthening damaged locks to be healthy and shiny once again. HOW TO PREVENT DAMAGE My number one tip is to always use a heat protectant – even if you're only blow-drying your hair. Consistent heat styling without one will leave your hair open to heat damage. I'd also recommend refraining from over-washing your hair as this can strip the hair of its natural oils – nobody wants a dry and irritated scalp! And finally, swap your sleek, slick back for a hair down day! They may be in fashion at the moment, but over time all that tension on your strands from being pulled will wreak havoc on your hair follicles – this could lead to thinning and bald spots in areas where the hair is constantly pulled.

Shark FlexStyle Multi-Styler Is Now Over 2x Cheaper Than the Dyson Airwrap, Stock Is Running Out Fast
If you've ever tried to recreate a salon-style blowout at home and ended up with sore arms, frizzy strands, or a drawer full of half-used hair tools, you're not alone. Getting professional-looking results without the help of a stylist can be tricky, especially when you're working with multiple hot tools, tangled cords, and limited time. Honestly? At some point, you decide to head back to the salon and have a stylist finish what you started because it's so annoying to deal with. But that's why having the best tools possible means so much. And you can get a great tool to accomplish some beautiful hairstyles for a great price right now. See at Amazon Right now, you can go to Amazon to get the Shark FlexStyle HD430 Air Styling & Drying System for $249, down from its usual price of $350. That's $101 off and a discount of 29%. This Shark styler gives you both a powerful hair dryer and a multi-styler in one. It comes with five attachments, each meant to help you create a specific style. Whether you want to smooth out frizz, add volume at the roots, curl the ends, or just dry your hair quickly without frying it, this system has you covered. And it's much, much cheaper than anything Dyson has on offer, too. The auto-wrap curlers make it easy to get bouncy curls without the need for you to position your hands awkwardly, too. The paddle brush attachment is perfect for straightening and smoothing if you don't have or want curls, and it'll make for some gorgeous, shiny blowouts if that's what you're looking to achieve. Really, using this tool is a lot more convenient than going to multiple salon appointments. It's lightweight, easy to handle, and quiet compared to traditional hair dryers. You're getting a lot of the same features and results at a fraction of the cost of Dyson or other hair tools, and considering in some areas you pay upward of $50 or more for a blowout, that's really saying something. Especially since it's just $249 (-29%) to get this tool and you basically pay for it with a couple of uses and skipping the pricey salon. If you want to streamline your routine, save time in the morning, and still get great hair every day, this is a deal worth jumping on.

Philip Kingsley is selling £25 ‘must have for your holidays' that'll protect your highlights
THOSE heading on sun-soaked holidays might be looking forward to time away in the sun, but battling to maintain frizz-free hair can be a real struggle. Between UV rays, salty seas, and chlorinated pools, beauty fans are turning to one haircare product from Philip Kingsley for an effective solution. Save 20% when you shop Swimcap Hair Mask and subscribe, £20 Many factors can contribute to hair dryness and frizz, but the Philip Kingsley Swimcap Water Resistant Hair Mask serves as a nifty sun hair protector. The rich, hydrating formula contains a UV absorber and conditioning agents to lock in moisture while defending against the dulling and discolouring effects of summer sun and pool chemicals. Just like our skin, our hair suffers from prolonged sun exposure. The UV rays act like bleach, oxidising the hair's pigment cells, leaving strands lighter and feeling more damaged. The Swimcap treatment mask, which costs £25 for a 100ml tube or £20 when you subscribe and save 20% off, can combat these hair concerns. Originally created for the first US Olympic synchronised swimming team, the Swimcap Hair Mask has now become a cult summer essential for swimmers and sun-seekers. The water-resistant mask was designed to be applied before entering the water or soaking up the sun. It then acts as a protective barrier and shields your hair against moisture loss, chlorine, salt water, and UV damage. Ideal for blonde, highlighted, or colour-treated hair, it helps prevent the dreaded green tinge from pool chemicals. Once rinsed and shampooed out, hair is left feeling soft, smooth, and nourished. In an independent user trial, the hardworking results spoke for themselves when 92% of users said their hair felt protected after the first use, and 9 in 10 participants said their hair felt hydrated. 2 Online, Philip Kingsley shoppers have raved about the positive results of the water-resistant mask. One buyer wrote: "This is a must-have for your holidays. "It protects your hair, in my case, colour treated, from the sun and chlorine pool water. "It smells good too. You can use it when you're swimming at home too!" Another fan raved: "I am an avid swimmer, Swim Cap is a game changer! "This is the best product I have found that protects my highlighted, post-menopausal curly hair!" A third review shared: "I swim three times a week, and before using Swimcap, my hair was suffering. It was dry, coarse, and difficult to style. "Swimcap has made such a difference to my hair - it's the first thing I put in my swim bag!" For those travelling light, Philip Kingsley's Hair Repair Travel Collection is another must-have, featuring four summer staples designed to detangle, defrizz, and condition on the go. Hair re-growth FAQs Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at Philip Kingsley spoke exclusively to Fabulous. How long does it take for hair to grow back? Hair grows, on average, half an inch a month. You cannot speed this up. Do rosemary oil and scalp massages work? Oils do not promote hair growth. In terms of rosemary oil, the current trend stems from one small study carried out on 50 men in 2015. No women were involved, and the study compared the effects of 2 per cent minoxidil to Rosemary oil. 2 per cent minoxidil doesn't do much for male pattern hair loss anyway, so the results were not very impressive. Oils do serve a purpose in conditioning hair treatments though. They help add shine and smooth the hair cuticle to lock-in moisture and improve combability. Scalp massages alone won't cure hair loss, but it can help relax you, aid in lymphatic drainage, exfoliate and help topicals penetrate. Are there any products or foods/vitamins you recommend someone using or eating to help with hair regrowth? To support healthy hair regrowth, if you are experiencing hair thinning we'd recommend our Density Preserving Scalp Drops clinically proven to help slow hair loss with continued daily use within three months. Telogen effluvium (hair shedding) due to nutritional deficiencies can often be simply treated with changes to your diet, and nutritional supplements such as our specially formulated Density Healthy Hair Complex and Density Amino Acid Booster. Iron and Ferritin (stored iron) in red meat, dried apricots and dark, leafy greens. Vitamin B12 in animal products and fortified plant-based foods. Protein from oily fish, lean meat, cottage cheese, tofu, nuts, chickpeas, and beans. However, there may be an underlying cause for their hair loss and rather than this being masked by using an off-the-shelf product, they should be encouraged to seek the advice of a specialist such as a Trichologist.

The internet adores Sofia Richie's new bob – here's exactly what to ask a hairdresser
In this week's beauty news, Sofia Richie-Grainge has gone for the big chop, taking her chest-length locks up to her chin thanks to hair stylist George Curran. The model and social media personality brought her fans along for the haircut at her Hotel Du Cap Eden Roc wedding venue, posting a five-minute video of the process on TikTok (@sofiagrainge). Describing her decision to viewers, she explains, 'I did one too many keratin treatments on my hair and, over the past six months, I've just been cutting at it and cutting at it hoping I could get this dead [hair] away – and it's just not going away. 'I know what I have to do to make this hair healthy again: it's to start over, so we're cutting a bob.' The result? A flicky, French bob – which Richie-Grainge has playfully dubbed her 'Cap Du Bob' – with face framing and blunt ends towards the rear. But when you're heading into a salon for such a drastic cut, you need a step-by-step guide. So we reached out to industry professional Samantha Cusick for the instructions to give your hairdresser, and found out her key bob maintenance tips. Expert hairdresser Samantha Cusick has styled influencers Zoe Sugg and Summer Fox, so we're in pretty good hands. She says, 'If you're after the Sofia Richie bob, ask your stylist for a classic above the shoulder (but below the chin), one length cut with subtle shaping through the front to frame the face.' 'The key to this look is that clean, French-girl finish with just enough bounce and polish to make it feel expensive but effortless,' she added. But despite thousands of positive comments, the haircut has proven surprisingly divisive. Several videos have been posted in response to Richie-Grainge's video declaring that women should 'not get the Sofia Richie bob.' One user even went viral after pointing out that Richie-Grainge will 'have licensed professionals on-hand' to tend to her hair in the months after the chop, which is unobtainable for most people. Maintenance is key if you've been inspired to get the same style. Cusick recommends the Ghd duet blowdry (£239.20, '[It's] a dream,' she explained, 'it takes the hair from wet to dry while smoothing and adding volume, so you get that signature bouncy texture in one step.' For topical products, it came as no surprise to hear that Cusick's an Olaplex fan. 'To lock in shine, use a drop of Olaplex No.7 bonding oil (£19.55, on the ends,' she described, elaborating to tell us how it imbues the strands with a luxuriously healthy and glossy glow. Finally, she looks to in-salon brand Authentic Beauty Concept: 'Finish with a mist of the airy texture spray (£25.75, soft hold and a bit of movement – you want it to feel touchable and undone, not overly stiff or styled.' Cusick also advises regular trims to keep your bob looking fresh and hammered home some age-old advice, warning 'do not skip heat protection to maintain that silky, healthy finish.'
