I had bald patches at 21 & tried all the hair hacks – a viral Amazon buy reversed it and now my locks are thick & long
WHEN Sofia started losing her hair at just 21, she turned to every viral TikTok hack and pricey hair serum out there but says that only one product actually worked. Now 24, the London-based hair researcher claims XXX buy has totally transformed her hair, helping her grow back thick, healthy locks after years of bald patches and self-esteem struggles. 2 2 Sophia said: 'I've tried every 'miracle' product on the market, and nothing compares." She claims Growplex's Vitafoam 5% Minoxidil gave her her hair back and gave it 10/10 for hair growth, ranking it the best on the market. stimulate growth. Sofia said she applies the foam formula to her scalp every night before bed and hasn't looked back since. What other hair-growth products has she tried? Her reviews as a trichologist are refreshingly honest, especially when it comes to viral hair care that just didn't deliver. Sophie gave cult-favourite Kerastase Genesis just 5/10, calling it 'glamorous but pointless' for actual hair regrowth. She said although the product might reduce a bit of breakage it "doesn't touch hormonal or genetic causes'. Another hyped-up TikTok pick, Seapuri Hair Growth Serum, scored a dismal 2/10. Sophia claimed the hype was all due to marketing, as it doesn't contain any clinically-proven ingredients to actually regrow hair. Surprisingly, she also slammed Hair Syrup, rating it just 1/10. The hair researcher called it a "total scam" and claimed it clogged her scalp pores and "made everything worse". My hair's so thin you can see my scalp but miracle £8 buy fixes it in seconds On the more positive end, she gave Champo's Pitta Growth Serum a 7/10, saying although it won't reverse baldness it will support overall hair health. Nioxin's Anti-Hair Loss Serum also scored fairly well with 7.5/10. Sophia explained that it activates hair growth by triggering an olfactory response — basically waking the follicles up with scent stimulation. She claims it's smart, but still not as effective as Minoxidil. Sophie's ultimate hair-growth hack She swears by combining Minoxidil with DHT-blocking supplements like pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto and stinging nettle root. She explained that DHT is the hormone that shrinks hair follicles and so stopping it is key if you want to stop the loss. Still, she insists: 'You can spend hundreds on shampoos, tonics and influencers' favourites, but nothing beats Minoxidil, DHT blockers and maybe laser therapy if you're serious about regrowth.' But behind all the testing and reviews is a much deeper journey. Sofia first realised something was wrong when she started noticing thinning around her hairline during university. 'I'd wake up and see more scalp than hair,' she recalled. 'Then I spotted actual bald patches.' Eventually, she was diagnosed with androgenic alopecia, a genetic condition more commonly found in older women but hers came on fast and early. At the time, she says she withdrew from friends, felt deeply insecure, and spent months researching solutions. Doctors warned there was no permanent cure, just ongoing treatments. That's when Sofia threw herself into learning about hair biology and testing everything she could get her hands on. 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. Now, thanks to her routine and that game-changing Amazon foam, her hair is visibly fuller and healthier, and her confidence is back too. She's built a supportive following on TikTok where she shares advice, reviews, and encouragement with others facing hair loss. 'People message me every day, from teen boys to women in their 50s, saying thank you for being honest about what works and what doesn't,' she said. She says her comment section has become a "beautiful space where people just support each other".

Alyssa Milano says Nioxin 'helped tremendously' with hair loss — and this treatment's on sale
Whether you're suffering from post-COVID hair loss (like Charmed star Alyssa Milano) or you've been dealing with bald spots for years, shedding is an uphill — and often discouraging — battle. You're certainly not alone, though. Hair loss affects millions of men and women, but you don't need to spend a fortune on doctor's office treatments to put up a good fight. There are plenty of at-home regimens you can try first, and, according to Milano, one brand is so effective that you may never need professional help: the Nioxin anti-thinning system, marked down to $62 (from $76) on Amazon We're fans of the celeb-approved Nioxin kit even when it's full price— so the fact that you're getting four products (a three-month supply) for just $62 is a pretty good deal in our opinion. Designed to give volume to hair and protect against breakage, the Nioxin hair-care system promotes thicker and fuller hair growth. This particular four-piece set, System 4 is formulated to help amplify hair texture and defend your locks against breakage, the latter of which can help reduce hair loss from damage while strengthening hair for the future. The other sets, Systems 1-3, are made to address additional concerns, like hair with progressed thinning and colored hair with light thinning. After publicly sharing her hair-loss story via video on Twitter, Milano finally found the help she needed in a few tress-strengthening bottles. She praises Nioxin products (and Nutrafol supplements, not currently on sale) for helping "tremendously" with hair loss. And she's not alone: These products have found fans in Amazon shoppers, too, who praise how effective the treatments are at helping curb lost locks and revitalizing their manes to their original health. Hundreds of shoppers have given Nioxin hair treatment sets a five-star review. "It actually works," said one user."This product actually does what is says it does. Easy system to use. Love the smell of the product." "This hair-care set does actually help slow down my hair falling out, when I stop using it, I can really see a big difference and how much hair I lose," raved a pleased customer. "After just one use of this product made a big difference with my hair. I battle excessive dry hair and tried so many products, including salon products and never got the results I wanted or needed. These will be my forever hair-care products," pledged another super fan. "My hair was thinning due to starting graduate school and getting used to traveling back and forth to school," said this stressed-out scholar. "I've always had thick hair so this shocked me. My hair stylist recommended this and I love it! It takes time for results, but within a few days, I saw less breakage and fall out. You definitely need to wash your hair every three days and use all three products to see a true difference. It has a menthol/minty smell and a cooling tingling sensation on the scalp that's comfortable and makes my hair feel clean. Love it!" This shopper has a caveat for their fellow emptors: "My hairdresser recommended this. I have used it for over a year with great results. She saw a change in my hair within three months. But beware, there are people selling fake versions in the same packaging. Look who you are buying from and if they are legitimate.

My hair was so thin you could see my scalp, it's now thicker than ever thanks to a 60p treatment you can get at Boots
A WOMAN has revealed how she grew her hair thicker thanks to a 60p remedy you can snap up at Boots. Although completely natural, hair loss and hair thinning are two very common concerns for thousands of people - and in many cases, this is genetically predetermined, Anabel Kingsley, consultant trichologist at Philip Kingsley explained. 2 2 Anabel added: 'The most significant difference between genders is the pattern. 'In females this usually presents itself as a progressively wider parting which spreads across the top scalp area. 'In men it is most noticeable from a receding hairline around the temple area and the crown.' But whilst there are several treatments and haircare products in the market that promise to tackle this, turns out, you can also give your hair some TLC without forking out a fortune. This was recently proven by one 20-year-old TikToker, Holly, who shared how just two high-street products drastically changed the appearance of her scalp. Holly, from Ireland, left social media users gobsmacked with the epic transformation - which was all thanks to Nioxin Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo and Nioxin Anti Hair-Loss Thickening Leave-In Hair Treatment Serum and a matching Nioxin Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo. Fellow beauty buffs can snap up the serum from Just My Look where it's currently on sale for £35.99, down from £57.50, while the shampoo is £27.50 at Boots. Formulated with Caffeine, Lauric Acid, Niacinamide and Sandalore, the serum improves hair anchorage in the follicle, effectively reducing hair fall. This clinically-proven formula noticeably thickens and strengthens the hair from first use, the brand claims. Meanwhile, the shampoo - which works out to be just 60p per use -deeply cleanses your scalp, removing impurities and excess oil. 'It's one of the best I've ever tried' cries Dealz shopper over Marc Jacobs dupe - and it's a steal at €4.50 It's formulated with a powerful blend of niacinamide, caffeine and lauric acid. Together, these ingredients work to help stimulate hair follicles and nourish the hair. Raving about the set - which has received an impressive 4.8-star rating from dozens of fans - the Irish lass showed off the jaw-dropping results. Hair Loss 101 HAIR pro Samantha Cusick has revealed everything you need to know about hair loss. 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. According to Holly, who posts under the username @ hollyboltonn4, she applied the serum just once a week and has only gone through just one bottle since discovering the product. To give the thinning mane a chance to recover, the young beauty used the shampoo two to three times every week, she said in the video. ''I really make sure to massage in for like two minutes,'' said Holly, who was never given any answers or an explanation behind her hair loss. ''I went to the doctors, everything was normal [...]. I tried rosemary oil and all hair supplements, biotin - everything - and nothing ever worked for me. ''This is the only thing that helped,'' said Holly, adding that she'd recommend the shampoo more than the serum. 'I'm so happy for you, it looks great' Since being shared online, Holly's amazing hair transformation has gone viral, winning the Irish lass close to a whopping 4million views, over 230k likes and 30k shares. More than a staggering 700 people flooded to comments, where one shared their experience with the products. ''Nixon saves mine to after meds I was on caused a lot hair loss. was my hairdresser suggested it now I use it all time.'' Another was also raving about the haircare range, writing: ''YES. Nioxin changed my life for the better and I will never stop using it. I use the #2 bottles.'' ''I'm so happy for you, it looks great,'' someone else was amazed by the makeover. However, not everyone's a fan of the products, as one claimed they've noticed no difference since using it.
