In her viral videoTikTok user Abbey Yung (@abbeyyung) explained to her followers the best steps to prevent thinning hair.
She explained that symptoms like hair breakage and bald spots are key signs that something is wrong with your locks.
To combat this, Abbey recommends not brushing your hair when it’s wet.
Instead, she advised her audience to detangle with their fingers first, as this prevents the strands from breaking off.
She also suggested investing in the Wetbrush Original Detangler, available for £8 at Boots.
Next up on her product recommendation, Abbey showed her audience the K18 Biomimetic Hair Science Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask, which retails for £45.
She explained that she combines the bonding product with the Living Proof Triple Bond Complex and the Red Kinestic Bonding Concentrate.
However, it was her final suggestion that made the real difference in strengthening her locks.
The OGX Damage Remedy Coconut Miracle Oil is available from Boots for £6.66.
Abbey explains why coconut oil plays such an important role in hair care.
“The lengths and ends are the most vulnerable parts of your hair, so apply a coconut oil-based hair oil to those areas before washing,” she advises.
She recommended avoiding coconut oil on the days you get your hair bonded so that the product can penetrate the strands properly.
Abbey explained that her advice works both for hair that is already thinning and for preventing it.
However, she stressed that thinning hair at the scalp is another issue that needs to be addressed.
Her followers shared their thoughts about the hacks in the comments.
Why does coconut oil work on hair?
The experts at Now Patient share the benefits of using coconut oil on your hair.
They explained that the oil penetrates the hair strands and helps kill certain types of fungi that can infect the scalp.
It helps prevent damage to your hair, but it also prevents your hair from losing protein.
It hydrates and softens your locks and provides more strength and shine.
“Okay, thank you, hair queen,” wrote one impressed TikTok user.
“Oiling before washing has helped my thin, dry, bleached hair SO MUCH,” said another viewer.
“I could probably do everything except the hair mask because the last time I used a hair mask my hair got frizzy,” said a third person.
“I love the advice! Diet is also an important part of healthy hair,” another follower noted.
“Enough calories, proteins and healthy fats throughout the day!”
