FINE-haired shoppers have been leaving five star reviews for a bargain spray that claims to “make your locks thicker.”
Beauty lovers have been raving about John Frieda PROfiller+ Thickening Spray, which currently only costs £5.99.
You can pick up the purse-friendly product from Amazon, where numerous people have gushed about their results.
According to the product description, the spray provides heat protection up to 220C and helps reduce hair loss due to breakage.
It is also said to deliver 200 per cent thicker, fuller hair, when used with PROfiller+ Shampoo and Conditioner.
The website claims it “gives fine, flat hair an instant thickening boost”, and has “expertly formulated with Biotin & Hyaluronic Acid.”
All you need to use is spray it on towel-dried hair, making sure to fully cover the root area and under sections.
The description continues: “Comb to distribute evenly from root to tip. For maximum fullness, style hair using a blow-dryer until completely dry.”
Many people have rushed to the reviews to share their experiences.
One five-star review read: “Excellent item . I used it as instructed and it’s made such a difference to my hair that I’ve ordered two more in case they sell out!
“Easy to use and a lovely smell. A little goes a long way and my hair feels thicker and softer.”
Another read: “I have fine hair that has also been thinned thanks to the menopause and I have tried several hair shampoos and treatments over the past 4 years to help my hair.
“The new John Frieda range is the first one I’ve found that works.
“It makes my hair feel and look thicker without it feeling claggy or rough. The rest of the range has transformed my hair. I’m so pleased with it.”
Meanwhile, a third commented: “I love this I had really fine hair and this gives it the body it needs.
“Can’t praise it enough.”
Thin hair tips
Jack Merrick-Thirlway. creative director at Neville Hair & Beauty, said that when shopping for new products to help with hair thickness, there are few ingredients to look out for.
“I’d advise looking out for ingredients such as biotin, collagen, amino acids and products containing vitamin B3. These all help strengthen the hair follicles and promote growth.
“That said, if you feel out of your depth, you can also seek advice with your hair stylist.”
Be wary of too many chemicals in your styling products as they can exacerbate hair loss.
Nutritionist Rob Hobson says that there are some specific nutrients which can support hair growth: “Biotin (vitamin B7) and the other B vitamins can help.
“Find these in meat, eggs, dairy foods, leafy greens such as kale, and nutritional yeast.”
Rob adds: “Watch out for iron deficiency too as this can leave hair weak and brittle.
“More than a quarter of women don’t get enough iron in their diet, so be sure you’re eating enough by including foods rich in iron such as red meat, beans and dried fruits.”
How can I fix dye damaged hair?
Have you taken the dye too far? There are some ways to fix this WITHOUT chopping the whole lot off.
- Give it a trim: we’re not saying you have to cut the whole lot off, but you should trim the worst offending split ends.
- Ditch the heat products: stop straightening/curling your hair immediately.
- Stop dying your hair: step away from the bleach, and starting using ammonia-free semi-permanent dyes for now.
- Switch to sulfate free: use kinder, sulfate-free shampoos and conditions to repair your damaged hair. And don’t shampoo more than twice a week if possible, because this strips damaged hair and makes it brittle.
- Treatment masks: use one of these hair treatment masks, listed below, to rejuvenate your locks.
- Sun protection: cover your damaged hair when sunbathing or swimming in a chlorinated pool, to prevent further damage.
- Eat your hair healthy: make sure you drink lots of water, eat Omega 3 fatty acids found in salmon, walnuts and flaxseeds, and green veg like spinach, kale, carrots and avocado. Some pre-natal supplements also promote hair growth.
Make sure you’re also getting enough protein in your diet. “Hair is made from keratin which is a structural protein.
“If you lack enough protein, then you risk weak and brittle hair,” says Rob.
Another nutrient important for hair is zinc: “This mineral regulates sebum production, an oily substance that helps to keep your scalp and hair moisturised.
“Overproduction can lead to oily hair and scalp contributing to dandruff.”
