My hair's thin & short but a £12 buy helped it grow so full & thick – I can't believe the difference & it smells amazing
HAIR loss is a result of many factors; menopause, diet changes, list goes on. And it can really affect a person when they see clumps of hair falling out, or excess shedding. Whilst the hair goes through a natural cycle, with it being normal to lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day, any more and it starts to become a concern. Several shoppers who have experienced hair loss for a variety of reasons are claiming to have found a product that is brilliant at stimulating new hair growth. The Weleda Rosemary Revitalising Hair Tonic is usually £13.95 but is currently on offer for £10 at Boots. Holland & Barrett also sell it for £15.95. It's a "natural treatment against hair and scalp problems, hair loss, thinning or brittle hair, dandruff and dryness". The product description reads: "Used for centuries to stimulate the circulation, rosemary helps restore the health of the scalp, while stonecrop and horseradish extracts work together to discourage microbial development and reduce inflammation." The benefits are said to be: But what do customers think? Giving if five stars, Lesley Anne said: "I've been using this product day and night for nearly three months and I can't get over the difference in my hair. I have typically thin, short hair but I recently noticed more thinning than usual so I gave this a go! '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 "I wish you could post pictures here because the difference is honestly unbelievable. I'm not concerned about tying up my hair anymore, no it looks full and thick. Not surprised Weleda are still selling this product, it is absolute gold!" Daria shared her experience using the product: "Very good for hair growth, using for the second time and love it." Yasemin's review read: "It definitely stimulated new hair growth around my temples which is where I apply the tonic. pleasant smell and not too runny/oily once applied. Recommend." Veronika also had great things to say about the tonic: "The product is perfect, it actually helps to grow a new hairs and keep the hair healthy." 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. 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? Rosemary oil is believed to stimulate hair follicles and improve scalp circulation, potentially leading to hair growth. 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.

Burnley to offer Taylor Harwood-Bellis Premier League lifeline to replace defender who quit in agents fee row
BURNLEY boss Scott Parker is keen to bring Taylor Harwood-Bellis back for a second spell at Turf Moor. Harwood-Bellis is keen to stay in the Premier League after Southampton's dismal relegation this season. 3 The defender helped Burnley win promotion under Vincent Kompany during a spell on loan from Manchester City in the 2022-23 season. And now the Clarets are interested in buying him — or, more likely, taking him on a loan deal with an option to buy. West Ham are also big admirers of Harwood-Bellis, 23. But they have a limited budget and would only make a move if they sell and need to fill a hole. Burnley have lost CJ Egan-Riley to Marseille for nothing at the end of his contract. The 22-year-old quit because they would not pay a huge agent's fee. Harwood-Bellis is facing a season in the Championship with Saints, so a second spell at promoted Burnley would suit him. Meanwhile, Clarets skipper Josh Brownhill is yet to commit to a new deal. And that has alerted Ipswich Town after their relegation. The 29-year-old midfielder and his adviser are looking for a big pay day. Scott Parker sheds tears in emotional celebration with family as Burnley boss retains hundred per cent promotion record Ipswich may better the money on offer at Turf Moor even if it means dropping back to the Championship. 3

Tel makes Tottenham move permanent after loan from Bayern
June 15 (Reuters) - Forward Mathys Tel has signed for Tottenham Hotspur on a permanent deal after a four-month loan spell at the Premier League team from Bayern Munich, both clubs said on Sunday. The France Under-21 international has signed a contract at Tottenham until 2031, with media reports saying the deal was worth around 30 million pounds ($41 million). "Mathys Tel came to FC Bayern as a very young player and mastered his first steps at the top level of European football here," Bayern's head of sport Max Eberl said in a statement. "He was a popular figure in the squad, who always gave his all for the club and the team. The move to Tottenham has turned out to be the right one for his development." Tel, 20, joined Bayern from Stade Rennes in 2022 on a four-year deal and extended his contract to 2029 in March last year, scoring 16 goals in 83 appearances for the German club, but struggling to find a place in the starting side. He joined Tottenham on loan in February, making 20 appearances, and was part of the squad which earned the North London club their first major trophy in 17 years with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final. Tel becomes the first signing under new coach Thomas Frank, who was appointed on Thursday to replace the sacked Ange Postecoglou. ($1 = 0.7372 pounds)
