A WOMAN facing thinning locks and patchy bald spots has revealed how she transformed her hair for less than 90p a day.
Hair Gain Capsules, packed with nutrients like biotin, zinc and organic pea shoot extract, are now being recommended by hair pros to tackle the sudden shedding linked to rapid weight loss from jabs like Mounjaro.

And while the drug helps shed the pounds, it seems some users are shedding hair too.
But the jab itself isn't to blame, it's the vitamin deficiencies caused by extreme calorie cutting while on the injection that can wreak havoc on your scalp.
Trichologist Samantha Stewart explains: 'We're seeing patients experiencing hair loss which we conclude to be due to their extreme calorie deficit caused by the injections.'
As your body drops weight fast, it can fall short of vital nutrients like zinc, iron and B vitamins which are key building blocks for strong, healthy hair.

Without them, hair follicles are pushed into a resting phase too early, causing excessive shedding and slow regrowth - a condition known as Telogen Effluvium.
Samantha added: 'Those who have been on crash diets often experience reflective shedding.
"It's the result of the body lacking the resources to maintain hair health.'
And the effects can be emotionally devastating.

Hair re-growth FAQs
Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at
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.
More hair loss hacks
Experts say it's not just fat-loss jabs that'll cause you to lose your hair.
In fact, there are many reasons your hair might be falling out and in order to fix it, hair expert Marie, says it's vital to understand the root cause of your hair loss.
She said: 'There are so many reasons why someone may face hair loss. Hormonal changes, thyroid conditions, stress, they all play a part.
'Damage from styling mistakes is a big one too. Heat, tight ponytails and clips all put stress on the roots.'
When it comes to hairstyles, Marie says less is more.
'It's important to be gentle,' she said.
'A low-maintenance style that limits pulling on the scalp is your best option.
'Leaving your hair down or using protective tools can make a big difference.
It's always worth speaking to a hairdresser or hair loss specialist who can help you feel your best, without sacrificing your strands.'

Why Does Hair Loss Happen?
Hair loss can be influenced by so many factors, from genetics and hormone changes to lifestyle choices.
Stress, diet, and even hair care habits can all impact hair strength.
It's perfectly normal to lose some hair each day, but sometimes the body can shed more than usual, responding to things like hormonal shifts or even life stressors.
Why It Happens More This Time of Year
Have you ever noticed your hair seems to shed more in autumn? That's seasonal shedding!
During summer, we hold onto extra hair to protect our scalp from the sun.
As the weather cools, it's like our body recalibrates and lets go of those extra strands.
Dry, cooler air can also make hair more brittle, making it easier to lose a little extra volume during these months.
Hacks and Affordable Buys to Treat Hair loss
The great news? You don't need to spend a fortune on pricey treatments to support your hair.
Try daily scalp massages—they're so simple but really help boost blood flow to the follicles.
Castor oil is another fantastic, budget-friendly option that's rich in nutrients to strengthen your strands.
Adding a bit more protein to your diet and a biotin supplement can also work wonders for overall hair health.
Products to Avoid
Steer clear of products with high levels of alcohol, sulphates, and parabens - they can be drying and damage hair over time.
Heat styling and chemical treatments can also cause breakage, so try to use them sparingly.
Instead, look for gentle, hydrating formulas to support your scalp and keep hair healthier through the seasons.
