My hair was thinning, snapping off & I had bald patches – it’s grown so much thanks to a £1 cure
A WOMAN with thinning hair and bald patches has shared the routine that has made it grow thick and luscious.
Niki took to social media to show off the transformation and the weekly routine she swears by.
Niki had suffered hair loss but now her bald patches were now filled with thick hair and she was delighted by the progress.
She said: “Over the past months, my hair has been growing so much I have been taking care of my hair so well and one thing I believe that really has helped is definitely hair oiling.”
In just two months her hair went from bald patches and thinning to new hair growth.
And now Niki has revealed her haircare routine she does weekly to keep her hair looking its best.
The first step she said was to massage the scalp to stimulate blood flow.
Niki uses a hair massager tool for five to ten minutes a week to do this.
Next, she goes in with a derma stamp – a tool with tiny needles that pokes the scalp to activate dormant hair cells and increase blood supply.
She said: “I part my hair and I work section by section, I go over each section about five times.
“Yes it is not the best feeling on earth, but you will get beautiful hair in return.”
After that, Niki goes in with her chosen hair oil and applies it all over her scalp massaging it in well before letting it sit for about four hours before washing it out.
Niki swears by the hair oil from Fable & Mane HoliRoot Hair Oil which costs just £15 from their site.
Because you need such a small amount of oil for each weekly treatment the hack will cost just £1 per use.
The clip shared to her TikTok account @niki_galvezl has since gone viral with over 680k views and 34k likes.
People were quick to thank Niki for sharing her routine in the comments.
One person wrote: “This is the best thing that happened to my hair. Hair oiling!”
Hair Loss 101
HAIR pro Samantha Cusick has revealed everything you need to know about hair loss.
Why Does Hair Loss Happen?
Hair loss can be influenced by so many factors, from genetics and hormone changes to lifestyle choices.
Stress, diet, and even hair care habits can all impact hair strength.
It’s perfectly normal to lose some hair each day, but sometimes the body can shed more than usual, responding to things like hormonal shifts or even life stressors.
Why It Happens More This Time of Year
Have you ever noticed your hair seems to shed more in autumn? That’s seasonal shedding!
During summer, we hold onto extra hair to protect our scalp from the sun.
As the weather cools, it’s like our body recalibrates and lets go of those extra strands.
Dry, cooler air can also make hair more brittle, making it easier to lose a little extra volume during these months.
Hacks and Affordable Buys to Treat Hair loss
The great news? You don’t need to spend a fortune on pricey treatments to support your hair.
Try daily scalp massages—they’re so simple but really help boost blood flow to the follicles.
Castor oil is another fantastic, budget-friendly option that’s rich in nutrients to strengthen your strands.
Adding a bit more protein to your diet and a biotin supplement can also work wonders for overall hair health.
Products to Avoid
Steer clear of products with high levels of alcohol, sulphates, and parabens – they can be drying and damage hair over time.
Heat styling and chemical treatments can also cause breakage, so try to use them sparingly.
Instead, look for gentle, hydrating formulas to support your scalp and keep hair healthier through the seasons.
