Practitioner-grade hair loss pills are 55p-a-day as hairdressers 'can't believe' results
Hair loss and thinning, whether due to age, stress, menopause, post-partum or hereditary factors, is a concern for many. While numerous products, supplements and treatments aimed at combating hair loss can be expensive, consumers have been praising a practitioner-grade supplement that costs 55p a day, claiming it has made a noticeable difference.
Dr Vegan's Hair Saviour is a plant-based supplement backed by science, combining 14 key ingredients intended to promote stronger, healthier hair. Developed by nutritionists, the capsules contain clinically studied ingredients such as MSM, Biotin, Saw Palmetto, Zinc, Selenium, Silica and the standout component, AnaGain.
Derived from pea sprouts, AnaGain contains phytonutrients, which have been shown to support hair growth and contribute to fuller, thicker hair. A clinical study of this ingredient demonstrated a 78% increase in the ratio of healthy hair follicles over a three-month period.
The twice-daily capsules, suitable for both men and women, also aim to enhance scalp health and root vitality, making them an excellent all-round solution. The formula is 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and devoid of synthetic additives, making it ideal for those wishing to nourish their hair without consuming unnecessary substances. However, it's worth noting that individuals with underlying health conditions should seek professional advice before use, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Alternatively, Hairburst (from £22.99), a UK supplement company, targets hair growth and strength with a formula that includes collagen and biotin. On to an Aussie brand, JSHealth Hair + Energy is £24.99 for a month's supply, and boasts kelp, iodine, and zinc as its powerhouse ingredients.
Dr Vegan claims users often witness a boost in hair thickness, less shedding, and fresh growth within 8 to 12 weeks after starting with their supplements. Numerous reviewers have noticed positive changes much earlier. A user called Lisa remarked: "I've only been taking it for five weeks and I can see a difference already. My hair is in much better condition, my nails have grown, my eyebrows have grown as have my eyelashes. I am so impressed."
User Emma shared her journey from chemically damaged locks to rejuvenated tresses, saying her hair is now "soft, shiny" once more. She continues: "I had a hair disaster in 2020/21 when I decided to go blonde and I never thought I would ever get my hair back to a good condition. I started Hair Saviour at the end of January and within a month my hair felt different.
"Soft, shiny hair was making a return, my hairdresser couldn't believe how much it had grown between appointments. I am so thrilled to have healthy, happy hair again and at 53 years old."
Both men and women have been experiencing positive changes using a new product, with James sharing his success story: "I was a bit sceptical at the start, but after three months, I really noticed an improvement in thickness and general appearance. Have been taking it for well over a year now and would definitely recommend."
Some users haven't found the product to be as effective, like one who has not seen significant changes despite extended use: "I've been using this product for well over six months now and to be honest I really can't see any improvement in the volume or thickness of my hair. Saying that my hairdresser has noticed a difference? But my hair still looks the same to me. I still have it coloured and perhaps this doesn't help. I'll continue to use it until the end of the year and if I still feel the same."
For Rebecca, who suffers from autoimmune-related hair thinning, the results have been quite encouraging: "I have taken Hair Saviour for a month now and my hair is already feeling smoother, sleeker, less frizzy and I can go much longer between washes without it getting greasy. With autoimmune illnesses and related meds, my hair is usually fine, brittle and falling out - genuinely feel this isn't the case anymore. Can't praise it enough."
The cost of Dr Vegan's product is typically £25.99 for a month's supply when consuming two capsules daily, which could be taken together or separately across various times. Right now, customers have access to a promotional discount—by applying the code SAVIOUR25 at checkout, they are entitled to a 25% reduction, making the price £19.50 or around 65p per day. A three-month supply is recommended for optimal results, which is currently discounted to £52.50 from £69.99 with the code, averaging at 58p per day.
However, the most cost-effective option is the rolling subscription, which offers an additional 15% saving, with the first month costing £16.57, or 55p a day. Supplements aren't the only answer to hair loss, as topical treatments also aimed at combating hair loss and thinning are readily available on the high street. The Philip Kingsley Density Hair and Scalp Preserving Collection, valued at £80, is now reduced to £57.60 at LookFantastic.
It includes scalp drops and a scalp foam containing organic pea sprout extract, similar to Dr Vegan, designed to visibly thicken strands and add a glossy shine. Alternatively, Hair + Me - the sister brand to Skin + Me - offers The Drops for hair growth, available on subscription from £14.99 instead of £34.99. These are claimed to 'reverse loss', 'stop thinning' and 'restore density'.
For those in search of a plant-based addition to their hair care regimen, Dr Vegan's Hair Saviour might just live up to its name.
