Lorraine Kelly shares her on-screen secrets for thicker, ‘younger' looking hair
Fine or thinning hair is a common beauty concern for many, especially at certain times of life including after pregnancy, during periods or illness or when going through the menopause. However, Lorraine Kelly – with the help of her hair stylist – has shared how she gets her hair to look thick and full when working on camera.
In a video on the Lorraine show's YouTube channel, the TV presenter discusses how you hair is such a big part of your identity, and how a good head of hair "can make you look young". The star's hair stylist Helen then demonstrates how she boosts Lorraine's hair using a few simple products that you can find on the high street.
After adding shape and volume to Lorraine's hair with a curling tong and velcro rollers (which cost just a few quid), Helen separates and slightly backcombs sections of the 65 year old's hair before adding a few strips of clip-in hair extensions, focusing on the back of the head rather than the sides. The colour of the hair extensions used is also slightly lighter than Lorraine's own hair colour to avoid it looking "blocky".
After some final tonging, the end result is one that Lorraine calls "really natural" with added volume, and praises how she doesn't feel like she's got anything in.
Helen doesn't mention the exact brand of hair extensions she uses here but says that they were picked up cheaply from a shop on the high street, then trimmed to the correct length. We've rounded up some of our favourites, with something to suit all budgets...
Best clip-in hair extensions
Beauty Works
16" Deluxe Remy Instant Clip-In Extensions, currently from £111.19 (usual price from £152.99)
Beauty Works is one of the leading brands for hair extensions, loved by celebrities such as the Kardashians and Molly-Mae Hague. Although not the cheapest, the quality is excellent, and there's the best range of shades, lengths and styles to suit all hair types, in our opinion. Shoppers can also currently save 10% with the code SUMMERSALE. Look after them well and they'll last you a lifetime.
Lullabellz
Thick 14" 1 Piece Blow Dry Wavy Clip-in Hair Extensions, £22
These are excellent value, and also feature a handy shade matching feature on the website plus instructions on how to expertly apply them. For mega volume, go for the five-piece set of extensions.
Cliphair
One Piece Clip In Hair Extensions (Top-Up), from £60
Made from real human hair, we were impressed with the range of colours from Cliphair, plus how they give the weights to different types (45g for a one-piece, up to 300g for an 'ultra-volume full head'). The clip-in fridges and ponytails are also fun.

Beloved ITV detective show slapped with 'trigger warning' for crime scenes in 'woke' move
ITV 's Inspector Morse has been slapped with a 'trigger warning' in a move that has been branded ' woke '. The popular series now features a pre-warning for crime scenes throughout the show, which seems to have caused a stir with people online. The streaming giant also advises there are 'satanic images' in one episode of the drama. It then has a parental lock on the episode, titled Day of the Devil. Inspector Morse first aired from 1987 to 2000, with a total of eight series. Other episodes also feature a warning over crime and violence. The popular series now features a pre-warning for crime scenes throughout the show, which seems to have caused a stir with people online Speaking about the update, Senior MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke slammed: 'This is another example of soft-touch Britain seeping into everything. 'We're just going to be laughed at as a country if things like this continue, because nobody's prepared for the real world where there are no.' Daily Mail has contacted ITV for comment. In the past, it has said about general alerts: 'Programming that contains politically sensitive or distressing themes, content, or language has carried appropriate warnings since our launch.' Just a few weeks ago, Netflix bosses axed an iconic moment from Pride and Prejudice to avoid 'objectifying men'. The unforgettable scene of Mr Darcy - played by Colin Firth - emerging from a lake was all the rage in 1995. But show bosses have confirmed it will not resurface in the forthcoming version of the rom-com. According to reports, many fans will be disappointed as the famous BBC scene is said to have 'got millions of women hot under the collar'. A source told The Sun: 'It is also credited for sparking subsequent moments of male objectification on screen - likes Aidan Turner's famous topless scything scene in Poldark.' It's claimed that Netflix bosses 'don't want a repeat'. The saucy scene soon became one of the most favourite TV scenes, however it didn't actually feature in Jane Austen's original 1813 story. Arguably the most iconic wet shirt ever worn sold at auction for £25,000 - double its estimated sale price.

This year's edition of the ITV2 dating show has seen the three Islanders involved in a dramatic love triangle. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Love Island star Harry Cooksley can be seen kissing Shakira Khan's neck Credit: ITV 5 The couple enjoy an intimate moment away from the other Islanders Credit: ITV 5 Harry snuggles into Shakira Credit: ITV In tonight's episode, after choosing to sleep outside, Harry returns to the villa and sits down with Shakira to discuss where they stand. They share their strong feelings for one another and, later on in the episode, Harry chooses to recouple with Shakira, leaving Helena and Blu to coupe up. Just a short time later, Harry and Shakira have been seen getting very close in a preview clip played on Love Island's After Sun. Maya played the clip to the panellist and audience members, all of which audibly gasped as they watched Harry snuggle into Shakira and kiss her neck. The 22-year-old could be seen sat on Harry's lap, as the footballer cradled her in the girls' dressing room. She told him they'd be taking "baby steps" as he nestled into her neck after getting their relationship back on track. Eyeing up her lips, Harry leans in to snog Shakira, but she quickly turns away, allowing him to kiss her cheek instead. Earlier in the episode, Harry tells her: 'I have really tried with her [Helena], but we [Shakira and I] had like a week and it was, for me, the feelings were obviously way stronger and still are. "I'm sorry I never like tried again. I really thought the door was just, like, slammed.' Harry and Helena break down in tears as they cut final romantic ties in emotional scenes Shakira responds: 'Do you want some home truths… it's obviously the way you go about it and the steps you take in between to come to these conclusions obviously hurt people along the way. "It's all well and good you saying 'hold my hands up guys, sorry' but you still hurt people. And it's a pattern.' Harry then makes his intentions clear, saying: 'Look, I'm either leaving here alone or with you.' Both Harry and Helena broke down in tears multiple times in Sunday night's episode, as they cut their final romantic ties in emotional scenes. The duo have continued to deal with the fallout from The Grafties on the long-running ITV2 show. Helena told Harry: "You're so selfish, you've literally broken my heart Harry. Like I cannot be your friend in here. "And I will not be your friend on the outside, I can f****** promise you that. I don't want any association with you ever again." When he suggested that the duo may eventually become friends on the outside, she shut him down once again. "I don't think we will be friends Harry. You don't possess any morals or values that I look for when I'm becoming friends with people. "My friends don't treat me like that. I don't think you have an ounce of respect for me, you've literally ruined everything for me in here." She added: "I literally don't want anything to do with you Harry." That's when the footballers couldn't help but tear up after listening to her resounding words of rejection. Helena added: "I feel like I had something genuine in here and it's like obviously it wasn't. "I just feel so stupid because you clearly haven't felt the same as I felt about you this whole time." She couldn't help but wrap her arms around his neck in a gesture of pity as she caressed his face one more time. As they let go she exclaimed: "It's where the journey ends my darling!" 5 The pair were seen gazing at each other in a sneak preview Credit: ITV
