WE all want thick, luscious hair, but actually achieving it without breaking the bank can be easier said than done sometimes.
That’s why shoppers are raving about a £7 serum for hair growth that’s leaving locks in “amazing condition” – sounds like a win to us.
John Frieda PROfiller+ Hair Growth Scalp Serum for Thin, Fine Hair is advertised as clinically proven to reduce visible hair loss by 50% in 12 weeks.
Product details say the serum is expertly crafted with innovative ingredients to amplify visible hair growth, strengthen strands, and reduce the signs of hair loss.
Not only that, the advanced formula delivers reinforcing proteins deep into the hair to support its natural bond-protein network, promoting visibly denser, healthier-looking hair with continued use.
Hair fans can buy the serum from Boots for only £7.49 rightnow – and if you struggle is oily tresses, don’t worry – the product is said to be non-greasy.
It can also be applied to both wet and dry hair and it is formulated with Rosemary Essence to promote a sense of calm and overall well being.
The product has had glowing reviews online so far, and one buyer said: “I have been using this daily for about two weeks now so still early days.
“I love the scent and feel my hair is in better condition already.
“Hopefully after three months daily use, as recommended, I will see a great difference in the volume of my hair and have less hair fall.“
Another fan wrote: “I’ve only been using this product for about a week, but I bought this scalp serum as I’m certain I’m losing my hair, if not its thinning badly.
“I can’t say if its re-growing as yet due to the short time I’ve been using it, but my hair definitely feels and looks thicker.
“I use it along with the John Freida pro-filler+ spray when styling. My hair is the nicest after styling it has been for a very long time.
“I will be continuing to use this product as so far I’m impressed by it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that I haven’t used it long enough to say that my hair has started to re-grow where I’ve lost it.”
A third said: “After several weeks of using there has been a definite improvement in the overall volume of my hair.
“Where the hair was almost nonexistent fine hairs are beginning to grow which fills me with great optimism for the future.
Hair re-growth FAQs
Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at Philip Kingsley spoke exclusively to Fabulous.
How long does it take for hair to grow back?
Hair grows, on average, half an inch a month. You cannot speed this up.
Do rosemary oil and scalp massages work?
Oils do not promote hair growth. In terms of rosemary oil, the current trend stems from one small study carried out on 50 men in 2015. No women were involved, and the study compared the effects of 2 per cent minoxidil to Rosemary oil. 2 per cent minoxidil doesn’t do much for
male pattern hair loss anyway, so the results were not very impressive. Oils do serve a purpose in conditioning hair treatments though. They help add shine and smooth the hair cuticle to lock-in moisture and improve combability. Scalp massages alone won’t cure hair loss, but it can help relax you, aid in lymphatic drainage, exfoliate and help topicals penetrate.
Are there any products or foods/vitamins you recommend someone using or eating to help with hair regrowth?
To support healthy hair regrowth, if you are experiencing hair thinning we’d recommend our Density Preserving Scalp Drops clinically proven to help slow hair loss with continued daily use within three months.
Telogen effluvium (hair shedding) due to nutritional deficiencies can often be simply treated with changes to your diet, and nutritional supplements such as our specially formulated Density Healthy Hair Complex and Density Amino Acid Booster.
Iron and Ferritin (stored iron) in red meat, dried apricots and dark, leafy greens. Vitamin B12 in animal products and fortified plant-based foods. Protein from oily fish, lean meat, cottage cheese, tofu, nuts, chickpeas, and beans.
However, there may be an underlying cause for their hair loss and rather than this being masked by using an off-the-shelf product, they should be encouraged to seek the advice of a specialist such as a Trichologist.
“The texture of the serum isn’t greasy and is easily applied. Great product.”
While another shopper thought it helped her itchy scalp too and explained: “The John frieda PROfiller+ Hair Growth Scalp Serum was surprisingly really good.
“I’ve tried many products similar to this and they haven’t worked but this gave me a good amount of regrowth from were my hair had thinned out from thyroid issues.
“I also have a very dry itchy scalp of late and it also really helped with that too.”
