My hair was so thin and patchy – thanks to a 52p DIY hack it’s now so thick and healthy
A WOMAN who has transformed her hair from thin and patchy to thick and healthy, has shared her 52p DIY routine.
Claudia, struggled with hair loss for three years, and now that her hair is looking it’s best is sharing tips and tricks on how to grow your hair and get your confidence back.
Taking to TikTok, she shared dramatic before and after pictures of her locks.
In the first picture, her hair was extremely thin on top, with bald patches on her scalp.
In the second picture, Claudia’s locks look completely unrecognisable, with thick and shiny tresses tumbling down her back.
In another video, Claudia revealed a simple DIY routine she uses to help her hair to grow.
Demonstrating the hack, Claudia explained that she makes her own rosemary oil using fresh rosemary.
Rosemary oil has been proven to stimulate hair growth, and you can pick up a packet of fresh rosemary from Tesco for just 52p.
Wash and pat dry the rosemary, before adding around 200ml of a carrier oil of your choice.
Claudia said that she uses olive oil, and adds a teaspoon of flaxseed oil as well.
Next, boil a pan of water, and once it has boiled put the bowl of oil and rosemary on top of it, and leave it for 15 minutes.
“The bowl shouldn’t touch the water, but should use the steam“, she said.
Let the oil cool down, and then strain it into a glass jar.
“You can now store it in the fridge and use it before showering”, she said.
To use rosemary oil, simply massage it into your scalp, and then leave it to sit for a while, before washing it off.

We can lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day, according to the NHS.
It is not usually something to worry about, but occasional it can be a sign of a medical concern.
These include illness, stress, cancer treatment, weight loss and iron deficiency.
The NHS advises to book an appointment with your GP to see if you can get to the cause of it.
Experts at American Academy of Dermatology Association also recommend to eat healthy, limit curling irons and only use them for special occasions.
