In the comments, the salon’s followers shared their own, with one writing: “Y’all… when you don’t trim your hair it splits all the way up the shaft over time.”
Others asked what products the hairdresser would recommend, with one writing: “What serum?”
@emmiehair replied: “We love the L’Oréal mythic oil!”
She’s not the only one offering hair care tips online – TikTokker @kokothemoon shared how she used one kitchen ingredient to lighten her hair.
In her recent video, she said: “So I ran out of bleach and I saw on the internet that I could use bicarbonate [of] soda and, like, developer, and I’ve got probably five sessions of black box dye on my hair.”
Her followers were blown away by the results, with one writing: “As a hairdresser, I am speechless really. I’m blimmin using it!”
