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.
However, not everyone who has used it raves about it. Karen explained: "Only half way through first bottle and am squinting my head brain eyes trying to see a difference and nothing!"
Another also failed to see new hair growth: "Being a huge fan of Weleda products, I was so excited to try this, but sadly I didn't notice any difference. I used it every morning and night for around 4/5 months (I purchased two bottles)."
What's the evidence behind rosemary oil for hair growth?
Advertisement
It's often used as a natural alternative to minoxidil, a medication used for the treatment of high blood pressure and pattern hair loss, with some studies suggesting it may be equally effective.
While more research is needed to fully understand its benefits, many individuals report positive results from using rosemary based products for hair growth.

The sign of common condition that affects thousands of Irish women – and you might notice when brushing your hair
And it could lead to future health problems OVARY AGONY The sign of common condition that affects thousands of Irish women – and you might notice when brushing your hair THERE is a sign of a common condition that affects thousands of Irish women that you might notice when brushing your hair. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects how women's ovaries function, impacting their hormones and menstrual cycles. Advertisement 4 The HSE are urging women to know the signs of a common condition Credit: Getty Images - Getty 4 Polycystic ovary syndrome impacts hormone and periods Credit: Getty Images - Getty 4 It can cause hair loss and weight gain Credit: Getty Images - Getty It can also affect fertility and long-term health, potentially leading to serious health problems. However, these issues can often be managed or improved through lifestyle changes. The condition does not mean that cysts are present on the ovaries. Instead, polycystic ovaries are slightly larger than normal and contain numerous follicles. Follicles are small, fluid-filled sacs that release an egg during ovulation. However, women with PCOS often cannot release eggs regularly, resulting in irregular ovulation — with ovulation occurring at unpredictable times rather than on a monthly basis. The Health Service Executive state that many women have polycystic ovaries without necessarily having PCOS. Ovaries that appear polycystic are also considered normal in teenagers. Advertisement There are six key symptoms to watch for: Irregular periods or no periods at all Excess body or facial hair Weight gain Thinning hair and hair loss (alopecia) Oily skin or acne Difficulty in becoming pregnant The exact cause of PCOS is unknown, but it is thought to have a genetic link and may run in families. Two primary factors may contribute to the condition: insulin resistance and hormone imbalance. I'm living with PCOS and it's a nightmare - I constantly have hairs growing on my neck and chest every day You may be diagnosed with PCOS if you are an adult and meet at least two of the following criteria: Advertisement Irregular, infrequent, or no periods at all Excess hair growth on your face or body, or high levels of testosterone in your blood An ultrasound scan showing polycystic ovaries Currently, there is no cure for PCOS, but its symptoms can be managed. Individuals with PCOS can improve their symptoms and reduce the risk of long-term health issues by making lifestyle changes. There are also medications available to treat symptoms such as excess hair growth, irregular periods, and fertility problems. Although PCOS can contribute to fertility issues, it is still possible to conceive, even if you do not experience regular periods. However, the condition may increase the risk of miscarriage or pregnancy complications, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Advertisement FUTURE HEALTH RISKS Despite the treatment available, the condition will increase your chances of developing other health problems in the future. These include: type 2 diabetes high blood pressure depression and mood swings high blood pressure and high cholesterol - which can lead to heart disease and stroke sleep apnoea - interrupted breathing during sleep weight gain endometrial cancer (cancer of the womb) - this is more likely if you carry excess weight and have irregular periods FERTILITY WITH PCOS The condition can be a cause of fertility problems but you may still become pregnant even if you do not have periods. It can increase your chance of miscarriage or medical complications, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, during pregnancy. However, there are ways to reduce the risk of complications, including trying to keep a healthy weight. Quitting smoking, eating a healthy, balanced diet and exercising regularly can significantly reduce the risks. Advertisement Fortunately, there are steps you can take to reduce these risks, including maintaining a healthy weight. Quitting smoking, eating a balanced diet, and exercising regularly can significantly improve outcomes.

The everyday hairstyle making Brits go bald & the easy trick to solve it, according to a hairdresser
A HAIR expert has revealed that brushing wet hair may cause more permanent damage to hair follicles than many people realise - and can lead to you going bald. Dr Roshan Vara, from Advertisement 3 If you are experiencing hair loss, you may need to change your brushing habits Credit: Getty They shared: "Wet hair has a lot of physical differences to hair when it's dry and that can affect its ability to handle stress from brushing. 'Water affects the hair shaft, and as a result, it experiences stretches in the cuticle because of swelling and that leads to breakage due to the strain.' Hair researchers have found that Dr Roshan explained: "Wet hair causes stretching which damages the protein structure, leading to weaker hair over time.' Advertisement More on hair So how do you combat this? SAFE SOLUTION Wide-tooth combs should be used instead of brushes, for wet hair, according to the hair transplant expert. Dr Roshan continued: "If you haven't brushed your hair before you wet it, don't use a standard brush, use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends and work your way up. 'Never start brushing from the roots when hair is wet - you must avoid doing this to prevent damage.' Advertisement Most read in Fabulous Comment According to Dr Roshan, styling techniques that combine wetness and heat exacerbate the damage. They added: "Using a hairdryer on soaking wet hair is particularly damaging, even if many may do that without even thinking. My hair's so thin you can see my scalp but miracle £8 buy fixes it in seconds 3 Brushing hair when wet can damage it Credit: Alamy 3 You should use a wide comb to detangle your locks Credit: Alamy Advertisement 'The speed of which water is removed from the hair shaft can cause essentially a rupturing effect which pushes out the cuticle and leads to hair falling out as it isn't as strong as it needs to be." The protection of the hair cuticle continues its decline as a result of aggressive brushing on wet hair. Fine hair and chemically treated hair – whether coloured, permed or relaxed – are especially susceptible to wet brushing damage because their protein structure is already altered. 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.
