Ditch posh conditioner & try my two-ingredient hair mask – a 17p buy makes it stink but your locks will be long & thick
A BEAUTY whizz has shared the secret to her luscious locks, so you’ll need to listen up if your hair is looking thin and brittle.
Camelia Katoozian, a content creator from Seattle, US, claimed that the trick to gorgeous hair is all down to two cheap ingredients.
And for those on a budget, fear not, as you may already have these purse-friendly buys in your kitchen cupboards.
Rather than posh shampoo or expensive conditioner, thanks to olive oil and eggs – yes, you heard that correctly – Camelia’s hair really is jaw-dropping.
Posting on social media, the hair, beauty and fashion fan, shared the step-by-step process of making and using what she describes as “the best hair growth mask.”
So if your hair has been the same length for the last year, this is just the thing.
Camelia shared her short tutorial online with the caption ‘If you just got a bad hair cut and need a fast solution, I GOTCHU!!’, leaving many open-mouthed.
She then claimed that she uses olive oil, which is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants that help nourish, condition and stimulate hair growth, to get luscious locks without breaking the bank.
As well as this, she swore by using eggs, which are powerful and rich proteins that help strengthen and encourage faster hair growth.
To make her DIY hair mask, the brunette beauty simply mixes two tablespoons of olive oil with two eggs.
Once whisked together well, she then applies the stinky mixture to wet hair for easier application.
Following this, she massages the DIY mask into her scalp and 20 minutes later, washes it out.
The content creator proudly showed off her stunning, long and thick hair, as she advised: “Use one to two times a week for best results!”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @cameliakatz, has clearly impressed many, as it has quickly racked up 13,200 likes and over 4,800 saves.
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.
Beauty enthusiasts were gobsmacked by Camelia’s hair advice and many were desperate to try it themselves.
One person said: “I will definitely give it a try.”

Another added: “I’m trying it right now.”
Whilst a third beamed: “I love your hair!”
Meanwhile, one beauty fan beamed: “This makes my hair less frizzy!!!”
So if you want to give this hair hack a try, but like many of us, are currently faced with bare cupboards, you’ll be pleased to know that you can find a pack of six eggs for just 99p from Aldi, working out at just 17p per egg.
Not only this, but you’ll also spot bottles of olive oil for only £2.39, making this method great for those without much cash to splash.

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.
