I found a £1 product that’s a ‘miracle worker’ for thinning hair – it helps with greys too, I’m in love with it
ARE you fed up with grey hairs or having thinning patches on your head?
A woman claims she swears by a £1 product which can help solve the issue in seconds – and leave you with thicker-looking hair.
Chloe, who posts under @chloemidsizemummy, uploaded a clip showing how she uses a “game-changing” hair powder to make her hair look fuller.
She said: “Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever used anything like it.
“This is a little miracle worker.
“It’s basically make-up for your hair.
“Anywhere that you are thinning – which by the way I get when I put my hair up – you can literally use it to fill in where your hairline is thinner or you’ve got grey.
“Honestly I’m so impressed with this.
“I can’t believe I paid just over £1 for this.
“What the hell.
“Literally I am in love with this.”
She showed to the camera how she was using the Gege Bear powder, which you can get for £1.15 from AliExpress.
Her video has racked up over 4,000 likes, and people seemed impressed.
One commented: “omg been looking for something like this! Thanks!”
A second added: “Sounds great and non-messy, palette for the hair.”
A third said: “Omg brilliant idea.”
And one person claimed they used it too and were also a fan.
They wrote: “I started using this, it covers well and I’m literally skin bald on the sides from having my hair up.”
However, one pointed out: “but DONT go out in the rain!”
Our crown and glory is precious, however there are many factors that can play a part in destroying our hair, causing it to fall out.
It is normal to lose hair every day – according to the NHS, we can lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day.
But, it can be worrying and upsetting when so much hair loss occurs that bald patches appear, hair becomes noticeably thinner, or clumps of hair fall out in one go.
Hair shedding is usually triggered by an internal disturbance to the body such as, but not limited to, illness, stress, postpartum or nutritional changes and/or deficiencies.

Anabel Kingsley, consultant trichologist at Philip Kingsley says there are many types of hair loss, but some is genetically predetermined.
The most common types of hair loss she sees in her clinic are due to hair shedding and breakage: “Hair shedding is usually triggered by an internal disturbance to the body such as, but not limited to, illness, stress, postpartum or nutritional changes and/or deficiencies.
“The shedding occurs usually six to 12 weeks after the event that triggered it, so it is always important to look back to pinpoint the reason.
“Although it can be extremely distressing, rest assured the hair will almost certainly grow back once the underlying issue has been resolved.”
Hair loss causes
- Hormonal imbalance – such as excess androgens
- Stress
- Iron Deficiency
- Thyroid imbalance
- Sudden or dramatic weight loss
- Vitamin B12 deficiency
- Age
She adds that breakage often occurs from dryness or damaged hair, which causes hair to become weak and brittle.
Luckily, there are some easy lifestyle changes sufferers can make to combat thinning hair.
If your hair is looking lacklustre and thin, then make sure to up your protein and vegetable intake by whipping up some healthy meals.
So next time you’re doing the weekly shop, stock up on enough eggs to slather on your scalp and to one to cook up afterwards.
One medium-sized egg contains a a hefty 6g of protein – thin-haired ladies, take note.
Not only is it great for your overall health to eat a diet rich in protein and vitamins, but the nutrients also strengthen hair and prevent it from thinning.
And as basic as it may sound, never skip the conditioner after shampooing – your locks will love you for it.
