Red's Beauty Director has a £25 solution for fine, thinning hair
Fine, thinning or breakage-prone hair is very common in women – and can be caused by anything from stress to a vitamin deficiency or menopause. The most common cause though is also the easiest to fix, overstyling with too much heat, too many products and the wrong tools.
This is because, when it comes to styling fragile hair, you need to be gentle. The tugging caused by vigorous brushing with the wrong type of hairbrush definitely won't help. Nor will brushing your hair when it's wet, washing your hair in very hot water, scraping hair back in to a tight tie or blow-drying on the highest heat setting.
'When your hair is fragile or has been through a lot of wear and tear, you have to baby it,' hairstylist Kirsten Patterson told Allure. That means investing in tools and products that provide a little extra TLC.
Luckily, Red's Beauty Director has found a hairbrush that 'feels as gentle as your fingers' – and is 'far and away the best for fine, breaking or thinning hair'.
