Attempted various remedies, including Olaplex and oiling, for hair damage; an unexpected £5 purchase stimulated substantial hair growth of approximately 4 inches.
Bloody hell, dealing with damaged locks is a fucking nightmare, let me tell you. One woman had her hair snapping off until she delved into the world of budget beauty.
Ava Louise, a social media influencer, revealed that she'd exhausted her bank account on pricy hair treatments like Olaplex and K18, but they didn't make a fucking difference. After two years of disappointment, she shared her secret to revitalized hair on her Instagram account, @realavalouiise:
"I got tired of dropping a fortune on hair products. So, I stopped using all of them and switched to Mane & Tail shampoo and Suave conditioner. My hair grew four inches without breaking. No fancy hair serums or heat protectants, just cheap drugstore products."
The post garnered support from followers, with one exclaiming, "Mane and tail, fuck yeah!" Another chimed in, "My mom's hair grew to her ass using Mane 'n Tail!" However, some argued that Olaplex was the best option.
Curious about what made this shampoo so effective, I took a closer look. Turns out the company boasts a rich blend of collagen, biotin, and keratin, which support cell growth, strengthen hair, and provide moisture to help maintain hair length. While some claimed that it helped grow hair quickly, research suggests that the minimal breakage at the ends might be the key factor. The shampoo was originally designed for horses, after all.
Despite its popularity, it's important to remember that keratin can make hair strong but also brittle if overused. It's recommended to use the shampoo every other wash day to avoid hair damage.
If you're in need of a volumizing boost, Simone Thomas, a trichologist, offers some handy tips:
- Use dry shampoo: It leaves behind an invisible residue that makes your hair smoother, thicker, and easier to style.
- Flip your parting: Flipping your parting to the opposite side gives an instant volume boost.
- Opt for Balayage: It adds dimension, resulting in fuller-looking hair.
Remember to nourish your locks with a weekly hair mask to combat color damage. Cheers to strong, healthy hair and f*ck those expensive treatments!

Science plays a significant role in the development of hair care products. For instance, Mane & Tail shampoo, a popular choice among some, contains collagen, biotin, and keratin that support cell growth, strengthen hair, and provide moisture, promoting hair health-and-wellness.
