Her locks even "snapped badly" at one point in her haircare journey. However, she eventually discovered OGX Thick and Full Biotin & Collagen Shampoo. Designed for "volume and thickening", the haircare buy is available for just £4.48 from Asda. According to the product description, this shampoo consists of a "nutrient-infused formula for 72 plus hours of volume and body". This formula is "proven to give you visibly healthier hair in just one use". The product is specifically designed for use on thinner more fine locks. It contains sulfate-free surfactants, Biotin, and collagen. The LipiPro Shield Technology supports the hair's protein and lipid barrier for your "heathiest most resilient hair". One buyer shared her experience with the shampoo in the Amazon review section, where the buy is also listed. 'I'm in shock at how well this has worked in a month' shoppers praise budget Amazon buy for curing their hair loss & it's currently on sale She gave the shampoo a full five stars out of five, commending it for helping her hair "grow and get thicker". The shopper added a side by side comparison of her hair to her online review. "The first picture was about a year ago, I couldn't get my hair to grow and it snapped badly in one place," she explained. She went on to say that she had "tried everything" to tackle the problem. "I have used two bottles of this and in the last few months my hair has grown so well and got much thicker," the reviewer continued. 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?

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.

"Just had to share the progress as I have been trying for about three years to sort my hair and this appeared to work so well for me. And while she recently purchased the brand's matching conditioner, she pointed out "the shampoo seems to work great on its own". "The smell is amazing! It's worth a try," she told her fellow Amazon users. Her pictures backed up her statement, showing the increased length of her locks since using the shampoo.

What are the biggest hair care mistakes? Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at Not looking after your scalp Your scalp is an extension of the skin on your forehead and it should be given similar attention and care to the skin on your face. Scalp health is vital to healthy hair growth. Your scalp is your hair's support system, and a flaky or inflamed scalp can contribute to hair loss and also impact the quality of hairs as they emerge from the follicle. Do cleanse and tone your scalp frequently. Try to leave no more than 2 days between shampoos. High heat styling The most common cause of hair damage is high heat styling – either with a blow dryer or straighteners. While it may take a little longer, a low to medium heat setting will give you great styling results, but without dryness, breakage and split ends. You should also always use a heat protective product such as our Daily Damage Defence and don't hold your dryer right next to your strands. Not eating well Even if you're using the best products in the world, if you aren't eating well your hair's condition and rate of growth won't be at its optimal. Hair is a dispensable tissue as it isn't needed for physical survival. This means nutrients are first used to keep essential cells functioning, with hair receiving them last. This multi-use product can be used in three different ways - either as a daily deep conditioner, a three minute treatment or an intensive mask. So if you've got dry hair that's in serious need of some TLC, a big squeeze of this Not only this, but your locks are said to be left 'heroically hydrated and deeply conditioned for up to three days - all while retaining lightweight moisture.' Rave reviews And online Not only have many said their hair has become 'softer' after using it, but those with bleached locks praised the effective product.

It washes out beautifully too Online shopper One woman beamed: 'I bought this a few weeks ago and I use it once a month. I have bleached hair and this is amazing stuff! 'Makes my Rush hair expert reveals how to repair damaged hair TINA Farey, Editorial director at Rush Hair, shares her advice… HOW TO RESTORE DAMAGED HAIR Whilst you can't fully reserve the effects of damaged hair, you can stop the problem from growing. Depending on the condition of your hair, I'd recommend getting a trim every six to eight weeks - this will prevent any split ends from travelling further up the hair shaft, which weakens the hair's overall structure and leads to more breakage. Even just an inch of the ends will completely transform the appearance of your hair – trust me. When it comes to products to help restore damaged hair, Goldwell's Rich Repair Treatment Mask is a firm favourite – strengthening damaged locks to be healthy and shiny once again. HOW TO PREVENT DAMAGE My number one tip is to always use a heat protectant – even if you're only blow-drying your hair. Consistent heat styling without one will leave your hair open to heat damage. I'd also recommend refraining from over-washing your hair as this can strip the hair of its natural oils – nobody wants a dry and irritated scalp! And finally, swap your sleek, slick back for a hair down day! They may be in fashion at the moment, but over time all that tension on your strands from being pulled will wreak havoc on your hair follicles – this could lead to thinning and bald spots in areas where the hair is constantly pulled. A second chimed in: 'I have been using this for many years and I wouldn't use anything else, it revives my hair every time.' Whilst someone else penned: 'I've tried very expensive conditioners and super cheap ones. Aussie is by far the best. 'As soon as it touches my hair it becomes softer.
