The L'Oreal ones in an orange bottle are good and hot oil and intensive hair treatments.

What is your usual haircare routine and what products and electricals do you use?

hi jenna used several different types of shampoos/conditioners, as i have coloured hair, but my nails are quite brittle as well so maybe is a vitamin i am lacking!!!

Hi puddi, get your blood checked out at your doctors xxx

sachs why do you think it could be a iron issue?

[Sachs]

Hi puddi, get a check for Iron deficiency or possible underactive thyroid. Are you experiencing tiredness too?

Have a word with your hairdresser if you have it coloured professionally in case the colour is harming it.

My friend is a hairdresser and does mine and always chat to her about the best way to look after it. I had some blond highlights in and as the pyroxide made my hair so dry I reverted to darker colours and it made a huge difference to my hair.

If you use a hairdryer and/or straightners etc... do you use a good heat protection spray?

I have Botanics intensive hair conditioner which is great (and usually on an offer in Boots) and VO5 hot oil treatments and sometimes go and get a good deep conditioning treatment at a hairdressers every now and again.

Another friend who worked in a hairdressers said to pull out a strand of hair, hold it taught and run a finger across it. It should feel smooth both ways. He recommended the orange elvive shampoo which made a big difference.

Loads of my hair comes out on brushes and such and especially as I have very fine hair I do wonder how I've got much left sometimes :)

Jenna.....the condition of ur hair makes no difference whether its hilites or as the process is the same but the tone is different. All coloured hair must be conditioned to replace the Ph balance.

Puddicat....dont brush your hair (brushes pull at the hair) instead comb from ends to root to unknot your hair. If u have thick hair use a wide tooth or afro-comb.

Everyone looses hair regularly, its just more noticeable when its long.

Thanks ladies will try the elvive orange range, maybe i should go to the docs and ask for a thryoid test, as my youngest has thryoid probs, think i have had one many years ago, and it came back normal!!!!
