My hair was shedding constantly last winter but a 10-second change fixed it – now I don’t have a single bald patch
A WOMAN has revealed how she fixed her balding hair with a simple trick.
The woman who goes by Lebanese Angel online took to social media to show off her new thick locks and how she got them.
In the clip, the beauty fan revealed it all started when she moved to LA, and the hard water and cool winter air caused her hair to fall out and shed in clumps.
She was left devastated and met with a trichologist to help her grow her hair back.
While she was given lots of handy tips such as regular scalp massages to keep blood stimulated, she found one trick on her own that has made the most difference.
She said: "After spending literally $10,000 on vitamins and serums in the past, I was very reluctant to try anything.

"But it had over 6,000 reviews, almost five stars and so many pictures."
She decided to give it a go for herself and in just three months has seen a significant difference in her hair.
"I'm never gonna stop taking these supplements for my entire life," she added.
"Look at all of this."

The beauty fan showed how her hair looked just three months ago and there were lots of bald spots and thinning across the front of her hairline.
But now, her hair had finally started to grow back as she showed off the one-inch growth of new hair that takes just ten-seconds a day to do.
She revealed she used the Viviscal hair supplements which can be bought on Amazon or Holland & Barrett for just £22.49.
The tablets should be taken twice a day along with food and water for 3 to 6 months to help promote hair growth.
And if the beauty fan's results are anything to go by they seem to be worth the money.
The clip went viral on her TikTok account @with over 6 million views and people were quick to thank her in the comments.
Hair Loss 101
HAIR pro has revealed everything you need to know about hair loss.
Why Does Hair Loss Happen?
Hair loss can be influenced by so many factors, from genetics and hormone changes to lifestyle choices.
Stress, diet, and even hair care habits can all impact hair strength.
It's perfectly normal to lose some hair each day, but sometimes the body can shed more than usual, responding to things like hormonal shifts or even life stressors.
Why It Happens More This Time of Year
Have you ever noticed your hair seems to shed more in autumn? That’s seasonal shedding!
During summer, we hold onto extra hair to protect our scalp from the sun.
As the weather cools, it’s like our body recalibrates and lets go of those extra strands.
Dry, cooler air can also make hair more brittle, making it easier to lose a little extra volume during these months.
Hacks and Affordable Buys to Treat Hair loss
The great news? You don’t need to spend a fortune on pricey treatments to support your hair.
Try daily scalp massages—they’re so simple but really help boost blood flow to the follicles.
Castor oil is another fantastic, budget-friendly option that’s rich in nutrients to strengthen your strands.
Adding a bit more protein to your diet and a biotin supplement can also work wonders for overall hair health.
Products to Avoid
Steer clear of products with high levels of alcohol, sulphates, and parabens - they can be drying and damage hair over time.
Heat styling and chemical treatments can also cause breakage, so try to use them sparingly.
Instead, look for gentle, hydrating formulas to support your scalp and keep hair healthier through the seasons.

Hairstyles that are kind to your locks
- Loose Braids: Opt for loose, soft braids rather than tight ones to minimise tension on the scalp and reduce breakage.
- Low Ponytail: A low ponytail is less stressful on your hair compared to high, tight ponytails. Use a fabric-covered hair tie to avoid snagging.
- Messy Bun: A relaxed, messy bun can be both stylish and kind to your hair. Avoid pulling your hair too tightly and use gentle hair ties.
- Soft Waves: Embrace your natural texture or use heatless methods to create soft waves, reducing the need for damaging heat styling tools.
- Half-Up, Half-Down: This style keeps some hair pulled back while leaving the rest down, reducing the strain on your scalp.
- Headbands and Scarves: Using headbands or scarves can keep hair out of your face without causing damage, and they can be quite fashionable.
- Loose Plaits for Sleeping: Before bed, loosely plait your hair to prevent tangles and breakage overnight.
