My haircare routine transformed my brittle patchy hair – there’s a cheaper alternative to my favourite product
IF your locks are looking brittle or patchy, don’t worry, there are steps you can take to fix them.
One woman shared the exact haircare routine she used to transform her curls.
In her viral video, TikTok user Alex Williams (@awillygirl) revealed each product she swears by for healing thin brittle hair and tackling bald patches.
She explained that she wore 22-inch extensions for years and her hair struggled to recover.
“I tried everything to fix it but nothing worked, I was balding on one side of my head, it looked terrible,” Alex said.
The first item she recommended for beginning the healing process is the Redken Volume Injection Duo, which costs £35.50.
While Alex acknowledged that the price tag for the shampoo and conditioner was a little high, she said they were well worth it.
She added that she always “snags” the products when they go on sale.
However, the TikToker also recommended a more budget-friendly alternative.
The Maui Moisture Lightweight Hydration and Hibiscus Water Shampoo and Conditioner are available for £8.99 each,
As well as washing her hair, Alex applies a hair mask once a week.
She advised her audience to invest in the £20.95 Professional Series Hydrating Argan Oil Mask.
Following the hair mask, Alex used Living Proof’s High Shine Gloss on her locks.
She also gave herself a scalp massage once a week as well as oiling her hair.
Alex recommended the £7.99 Nifeishi Rosemary Strengthening Essential Applicator Hair Oil.
She used a £5.49 Bamboo Scalp Massage Comb to work the oil into her roots.
According to Alex, leaving the hair oil on overnight shows the best results.
