I’m missing my hair!! All of a sudden my hair has become thin and lifeless. Dr says it’s down to my underactive thyroid. But what next? Keep waiting until I need to get a wig? My hair used to be my pride and joy! confused

A couple of drops of Argan oil smoothed through your hair before or after blow drying may help.

Rub your hands lightly over your hair after putting moisturiser on your face It leaves a trace behind.

Try a drop (literally one drop) of rosemary oil in your conditioner before rinsing.

The Body Shop do a cruelty free range of Ginger shampoos. A shampoo for every type of hair. Mine leaves my hair bouncy and shiny. If you Google you can view the whole range. Perhaps there's one to suit your hair. Hope so.

Is there not serum stuff that you rub through your hair to give it a shine? I used to have something like that but it's long been used up and I can't remember the name. Sorry. Ask a hairdresser?

I am now totally grey - lighter on top layers and a sort of iron grey (Horsey ladies will understand this reference!) underneath. I am happy with the colours and think they suit my skin tone BUT how I miss the deep shine I once had. I use conditioner and, sometimes, a mask , and these soften my hair but it is dull!! any helpful hints please?
