Ruth Langsford says 'it's time' as she shows off new hair and explains struggle after 'so many questions'

Ruth Langsford said "it's time" as she showed off her new hair. The This Morning host has been open about how the menopause has affected her hair.

The Loose Women shared a video on Instagram which showed her hairdresser putting her extensions in. She said she wanted to reassure fans that her hair was not damaged in the process - and said it was tempting to go for a long style rather than her signature shoulder-length bob.

Ruth explained she has "very small" extensions to help with the volume of her locks after she noticed they were becoming thinner due to hormonal changes. Fans were quick to praise both her hair and her willingness to broach the subject - with compliments flooding in.

Ruth said in a caption: "Time to have my extensions re-done. SO many of you ask me about these so I like to show you how they’re done! They’re called Keratin Bonds and they’re very small. I have them for volume… my hair has definitely thinned in menopause. You can have as many or few as you like and keep them long or cut them shorter."

She talked followers through the process on her video, saying: "Time to have my extensions re-done. So here is Lauren putting the dissolved stuff in and taking out the old extension.

"Now know of you say 'oh, does this ruin your hair', in my opinion, no. I've had this done several times now and it doesn't ruin my hair.

"Now I do have these just for some thickness but it's very tempting to keep them long sometimes. But I don't, so here we go - ta da! New extensions in and thicker hair."
