I transformed my damaged hair & have 5 tips to do the same – there’s a specific brushing tip to stop it breaking off
A WOMAN who went from thinning, damaged hair to luscious long locks has revealed the five tips she used.
Isabelle Lux took to social media to show off the before and after pictures of her hair and the most important steps she took to get it looking it’s best.
“Five things that I wish someone would have told me about hair growth that literally brought my hair from this to this, what it is today,” she said.
In the clip she showed a video of her form a few years ago with damaged bleach hair that kept breaking off.
But now her hair, while still blonde, was much thicker and healthier thanks to her steps.

She revealed that brushing your hair correctly was essential to make your hair grow and keep it healthy.
The beauty whizz said you have to start brushing your hair from the ends and make your way up to prevent hair loss and make it easier to go through tangles.
And once you get to the scalp – she said it was imperative to brush through the scalp at least 50 times both day and night.
Isabelle explained: “That’s gonna bring essential nutrients and oxygen to the area, which is really gonna help it.”
She also recommended using a scalp oil to prevent breakage – Isabelle loves the VEGAMOUR serum and says it helped her hair grow super thick.
Silk pillowcases and hair protectors are also essential for Isabelle who takes them with her wherever she goes.
The silky fabric is much softer on your hair – preventing it from getting frizzy or drying the ends out.
Last but not least, Isabelle suggested using red light therapy to help stimulate hair growth.
She uses a face mask and puts it on top of her head to get the light to penetrate her scalp to promote new growth.
“My hair was SO THINNED OUT at the scalp especially,” added Isabelle as she captioned the post ‘healthy hair tips I wish I knew sooner.’
The clip has since gone viral on her TikTok account @isabelle.lux with over 375k views and 4,000 likes.
People were quick to thank her for the tips in the comments section of the post.
One person wrote: “I need to try this!”
Tips for styling thinning hair
Rachael E. D Sey is a certified trichologist with almost 15,000 Instagram followers.
She revealed to The U.S. Sun how to protect hair from further loss.
Hairstyles
Sey recommended opting for a top knot or loosely braided ponytail over styles that tension strands.
She also advised to limit the use of heat tools such as a hair dryer or straightener.
Those who have afro hair, should avoid braids or consider larger braids.
DIY treatments
The trichologist said hair should be washed regularly and trimmed every six weeks.
She recommended using hair oils to help “improve scalp circulation and follicles.”
Another commented: “Wow that’s a big transformation!”
“Oo.. sunscreen for your head, smart,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “What’s your fav silk sleep cap?”
