Woman, 73, shows the £10 trick she uses to make sure her hair never looks thin & people are amazed at how good it looks
AN issue many women have as they age is that their hair becomes thin and fragile.
But one woman has explained there's a clever hack she uses to ensure her locks always look full and volumised.
Pam took to TikTok to share her clever hack, which uses a nifty 'halo' hairpiece she got off Amazon.
"Look how thick and rich my hair is!" she
"I'm 73, but I have a trick. Let me show you."
The hairpiece, which comes in "tons of colours", is also "very inexpensive";, with prices starting from around £10 on the retail site.

It comes with a wire that goes on the top of the head, underneath the real hair, with clips to attach it securely at the back.
Pam showed herself putting the hairpiece in place, as she began by sectioning off the top part of her hair and clipping it up.
She then put the wire on the top of her head, before clipping it onto the locks at the back, and letting her natural down.
Once she'd done that, she was able to rearrange her own hair to conceal the wire and hide any sign of the hairpiece.

"Voila, you have nice, thick, rich hair!" she concluded.
"You can't see the wire, nothing.
"Even on the back, it looks like your real hair. No one can tell!"

And people were quick to thank her for sharing the top tip in the comments section, with one writing: "I’m on the edge of my seat for your tips!
"Keep it up!"
"I'm over the moon that I found you! Thank you," another said.
";I have this too and it works great," a third added.
Why do women lose hair in winter?
Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at spoke exclusively to Fabulous.
You can experience increased hair fall in winter for many reasons, such as due to dietary changes, illness, stress levels and compromised scalp health.
We do know that dandruff and a flaky scalp are more common in winter, which in turn can increase hair fall. People also tend to shampoo less often in the winter, which can lead to the illusion you are losing more hair than usual. The more days you leave between cleansing your scalp, the more hairs you will see when you do as they accumulate.
Another thing to note is that winter is flu season, and high fevers usually cause hair shedding. Due to the nature of the hair growth cycle, you don’t notice hair fall straight away – it takes from six to 12 weeks for it to occur.
"I’m 73 too," someone else wrote.
"Please post more - you don’t see too many women our age that give you everyday tips."
While others admitted they'd been left stunned when Pam had revealed her true age.
"You’re 73????? Girl you look AMAZING!!!!!!" one wrote.
