Her locks even "snapped badly" at one point in her haircare journey. However, she eventually discovered Designed for "volume and thickening", the haircare buy is available for just £4.48 from Asda. Read More On Hair According to the product description, this shampoo consists of a "nutrient-infused formula for 72 plus hours of volume and body". This formula is "proven to give you visibly healthier hair in just one use". The product is specifically designed for use on thinner more fine locks. It contains sulfate-free surfactants, Biotin, and collagen. Most read in Fabulous The LipiPro Shield Technology supports the hair's protein and lipid barrier for your "heathiest most resilient hair". One buyer shared her experience with the shampoo in the Amazon review section, where the buy is also listed. '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 She gave the shampoo a full five stars out of five, commending it for helping her hair "grow and get thicker". The shopper added a "The first picture was about a year ago, I couldn't get my hair to grow and it snapped badly in one place," she explained. She went on to say that she had "tried everything" to tackle the problem. "I have used two bottles of this and in the last few months my hair has grown so well and got much thicker," the reviewer continued. 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. "Just had to share the progress as I have been trying for about three years to sort my hair and this appeared to work so well for me. And while she recently purchased the brand's matching conditioner, she pointed out "the shampoo seems to work great on its own". "The smell is amazing! It's worth a try," she told her fellow Amazon users. Her pictures backed up her statement, showing the increased length of her locks since using the shampoo. Manufacturers recommend regular use of the product to maintain results. 3 The OGX Thick and Full Biotin & Collagen Shampoo is available for just £4.48 from Asda Credit: Asda
