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.
The face behind it all
Lucie Macleod - the mastermind behind the customer-loved company - launched Hair Syrup at just 20-years-old during
What began as a side hustle in her parent's house, which was started with just £600, money she had made from her job at an ice cream shop, quickly snowballed into a viral phenomenon on TikTok.
'I spent about 10 hours a day packing. I was up every night until 2am. It was very stressful, and obviously with my degree it was very, very hard.
'Now, we are selling tens of thousands of units every month and make about £300,000 a month.
'We're projecting a £3.5million turnover in the next year.'
If you don't use TikTok and haven't ever heard of Hair Syrup, Lucie explained: 'Hair Syrup is a digital brand and we sell a small range of pre-wash oil treatments.
'They're really great for loads of different scalp and hair concerns, so good for things like hair growth, they can really help with hair loss, if you've got an itchy, flaky scalp, if you've got breakage, that kind of thing - there's something for everyone.
'They're all 100% natural and are essentially just natural raw oils - essential oils, nut oils, seed oils, argan oil, papaya seeds, pomegranate seeds, avocado, apricot, peach, rosemary, thyme, loads of natural cold pressed oils and extracts.''

I was convinced my chair was blue for 7 years – I listed it, now people are saying GREY… I don't know what to believe

A WOMAN has been left baffled after discovering that after seven years, the armchair she thought was blue is actually grey. Kristin was originally made aware of the discrepancy when she listed the chair online for free, with the person interested in taking it pointing out its actual colour. 6 Kristin took to TikTok to ask for advice as to whether her chair was blue or grey Credit: 6 She showed the chair in question in the video, with the overwhelming consensus that it was grey Credit: 6 She couldn't believe that the chair, and the sofa, weren't blue Credit: 6 She tried comparing the colour of the chair to two blue colouring pencils Credit: She "Is this chair grey or blue?" she asked. "Cause I'm giving it away to someone and I'm sending pictures and I'm like, it's a blue chair and they're like, that's grey. "And I'm like, I'm pretty sure it's blue. "And she's like, can you get more pictures? It's grey. And I'm like, okay, but my couch and my chair have always been blue. "But now she's gaslighting me and I'm starting to believe it!" She showed the sofa and chair in the video, as she wondered if it was her phone playing tricks on her. "Also I shouldn't be stressing this much over a free chair," Kristin continued. Most read in Fabulous "You either want it or you don't, but is it blue or is it grey? So I can tell her the truth!" "What colour is this chair?" she asked in the video caption. I furnished my ENTIRE home with Facebook Marketplace finds - my stools were free & I saved £1k on a farmhouse table set And pretty overwhelmingly, the consensus was that it is, in fact, grey. "I wasn't prepared for how grey it would be," one gasped. "I was prepared for it to be like a blueish grey, not full on gravestone of a child who died of tuberculosis in the 1800s GREY," another joked. "I wasn't expecting it to be the oxford dictionary definition of grey," a third commented. "That is so very grey. I'm so sorry this is how you're finding out," someone else said. To which Kristin replied: "I am actually crashing out!" What is colour analysis? Colour analysis is a tool you can use to determine which colours flatter you most. It's based on your overall appearance and particularly the colouring of your eyes, hair and skin. You are then assigned one of twelve colour seasons. Each colour season comes with a colour palette, specifically designed to harmonise with your natural colouring. According to a British study, there is evidence that suggests that the colours worn by a person can affect how they are perceived by others. For example: red and pink are thought to signal sexual attractiveness, particularly when worn by women, while dark colours like black or navy may convey the impression of authority - in turn making the wearer seem less approachable. The theories of colour analysis also teach that certain colours are capable of emphasising or, conversely, de-emphasising an individuals attractiveness to others. Unflattering colours may make a person look pale, for instance, or draw attention to such "flaws" as wrinkles or uneven skin tone. Flattering colours are thought to have the opposite effect. "Is the blue in the room with us?" another asked. "Your grey-dar is off hunny. It's grey," someone else said. "Bestie if you think that is blue, what colour is the sky to you?" another questioned. While someone else said: "Are you colour blind by chance?" "If I am I am only finding out now," Kristin responded. "That chair is so grey I forgot what blue is!" another laughed. As someone else said it could be that Kristin has a condition called Tritanopia, a blue-yellow colour blindness where individuals experience a reduced sensitivity to blue light, and therefore struggle to distinguish between blue and gree, as well as yellow and red. "Specifically, grey may appear as a very pale blue or blue-green to someone with tritanopia," they added. Read more on the Irish Sun Kristin tried to prove herself right by laying blue colouring pencils and blue clothing on top of the armchair, before taking some colour blindness tests online and referring herself to the doctor. "The butterfly effect is crazy because if the Facebook lady never questioned me on this chair colour, I'd have a millennial grey living room for the rest of my life," she wrote over the top of another video. 6 She also used a blue coat to try and figure out the actual colour Credit: 6 As well as pair of grey jogging bottoms - before reluctantly booking herself a doctor's appointment to check for colour blindness Credit:
