Ava Louise said she had tried everything to restore her locks, including Olaplex and K18, but they hadn't made any difference.
She shared on her @realavalouiise account: 'Just wanted to share that I dyed my hair black when I was depressed then bleached it back.
'For 2 whole years my hair would not grow.
'I used K18, Olaplex, would sit for hours with all the top 'hair growth oils' on my head, bought the most expensive shampoo & products known to man.
'My hair kept snapping off.'
However, everything changed for her when she stopped splashing out on pricey products.
Ava added: 'A few months ago I stopped all product use, switched to mane & tail shampoo and suave conditioner.
'My hairs grown four inches and never breaks.
'I don't even use heat protector.
'No products at all just cheap drug store shampoo & conditioner.'
Muireann O'Connell shares 'singed' hair fiasco
Many people agreed that they loved the product, with one saying: 'Mane and tail fs I swear by it.'
Another added: 'MANE AND TAIL IS HOW MY MOM GOT HAIR TO HER ASS.'
However, a third wrote: 'I swear by olaplex, but it's VERY easy to overdo protein hair treatments and they'll literally turn healthy hair into brittle straw when you do.'
You can pick up Mane n Tail shampoo for £5.49 from My Hair and Beauty, or it can be purchased for just £6 on Amazon.

But what makes the product a hit with customers?
According to the company's site, it is jam-packed with collagen, biotin, and keratin, which support cell growth, strengthen hair, and provide moisture to help maintain hair length.
While many say it helps grow hair quickly (with some stating three inches of growth in just one month,) there might be something else at play.
The hair range was originally created for horses, and was developed to repair split ends and prevent breakage.
So, the quick hair growth people rave about might be from less breakage at the ends, rather than new hair coming from the root.
Because the shampoo has added keratin, it's best to use it every other hair wash day rather than all the time.
While keratin can make hair stronger, too much of it can make it brittle and more likely to snap off.

Back in June, Gary appeared to put his feud with brother Wayne to one side as they partied at a family wedding in Ibiza - and now they have taken yet another step towards putting their rift to bed.

Tia shared the first glimpse of her lavish Mallorca wedding on Instagram on Wednesday - with her uncle clearly in attendance. She tied the knot with husband Harry Agombar, and her uncle Gary was sitting among the guests despite the 17-year feud between the Lineker brothers. Her father Wayne walked her down the alter and linked onto her arm as he did so. Tia looked stunning in a white dress, complete with a veil and huge bouquet of flowers. Her father walked beside her in a dapper black suit. BROTHERS REUNITE Gary was seen sitting among the guests, signalling a truce between the brothers. This was their second reunion in recent weeks. Back in June the former Match of the Day host's son Harry got married. Harry, 31, tied the knot with partner Bella in a luxurious ceremony on the Spanish island of Ibiza. Gary Lineker reveals Match of the Day blunder he made in last-ever appearance for first time in 26 years Spirits were high as all the family celebrated together beneath the sunshine. GARY AND WAYNE'S FEUD The two brothers are believed to have fallen out while Gary was with his second wife Danielle Bux. They travelled to Ibiza to visit Wayne but the trip broke their close relationship, which saw an end to their weekly phone calls. He told The Sun in 2015: "In my opinion, Danielle cost me my relationship with my brother. "Sadly Gary is no longer a part of my life. "They came to Ibiza in August 2008 and it was really awkward. "I didn't spark with Danielle and our relationship was cold." Wayne was Gary's best man at his first wedding to Michelle Cockayne in 1986. But the club owner did not attend as the ex-BBC host tied to knot with Danielle because his invite did not extend to his girlfriend at the time Ana Tanaka. Opening up on the brother's relationship in a recent interview with The Mail, Wayne said: "It's not so good to be honest, we don't really speak very often. "I'll always be his number one fan."

Traitors and Celebrity SAS star 'involved in boozy brawl with TikTok star'
The Traitors winner and former Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins star Harry Clark was reportedly involved in a 'drunken scuffle' with a TikTok influencer following a recent showbiz event After viewers watched Harry Clark get the chop from Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, reports of a previous bust up and a glitzy bash came to light. The Traitors star exited the gruelling Channel 4 show at the midway point after being caught out. And now allegations have came to light on a boozy brawl involving Harry and a TikTok star at the Brit Awards. According to reports, the reality TV star had a 'drunken scuffle' with social media star Moe Osman at the awards ceremony in March. Sources claim the alleged incident saw Harry, 24, retaliate after being "antagonised" by the influencer. A source told The Sun that Moe, who is known as Hellacreps online, and Harry clashed at the event. They said: "Harry is clearly really enjoying being able to attend amazing events like the Brits but at the event he and Moe clashed. 'It got physical. It was a drunken scuffle. There is never a fight at that sort of thing so everyone was really shocked.' Following his exit from Celeb SAS, it was revealed that Harry has now joined Pause For Thought in a permanent role. He recently appeared on BBC Radio 2's long-running segment where he opened up about his religious beliefs. Joining Scott Mills live on air on Tuesday, he said: "I know that some of your listeners will know me from winning The Traitors, and I wanna know more about that next week but for now, for this Pause For Thought, I thought I'd tell you more about what makes me tick. So, I'm Harry, I'm 24, and I come from a massive family. "There's five of us children, I've got two brothers, two sisters and a mum and dad. Despite achieving something, I'm still just a normal kid from Slough who lives with his parents and sisters in a council house. "Both of my brothers have now moved out. Luckily, thanks to my mum, religion has always been a big part of my life and has helped me all the way through." He went on: "Faith has been, and it means a lot to me always and it's amazing to be a part of something bigger that is outside of myself. As soon as I could I decided I was off to North Yorkshire at the age of 16 to become an avionics technician, which is technically a helicopter engineer, which is easier to understand but it's still just as crazy as it sounds. "I'd never seen a helicopter before I left Slough, so becoming a helicopter engineer is the coolest thing ever." And speaking of his involvement in The Traitors, he said: "I was asked to go on Traitors series two, which to my surprise, I actually managed to win somehow. "Since then, it's been a rollercoaster of ups and downs and around summertime again last year, I seemed to lose myself mentally but then the thing that saved me for a second time was my faith. When I prayed, I didn't feel alone and I felt that there was something there for me just like there always has been."
