One woman revealed the shampoo she used to level up her locks, calling it "the best".

She added that she is "really happy with this shampoo".

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.
Other customers shared their experiences with the product in the Boots review section.
"I like it, [it has] pleasant, non-chemical scent, does not strip hair nor make it greasy," wrote one shopper.
"This shampoo is the best I've ever used. My hairline has changed for the better! It's also probably the cheapest I've used. Great product!" said another buyer.
"I was delighted to find this in Boots at a very reasonable price so bought the shampoo and conditioner. Smells lovely, lathers well, I will definitely buy this again," commented a third person.
"Great shampoo, very good [for] sensitive scalps, leaves hair clean and healthy-feeling without weighing it down," said another Boots customer.

Tesco slashes the price of summer garden essential from £80 to £24 – it's the cheapest on the market
We reveal below what other retailers are selling the pizza oven FIRE DEAL Tesco slashes the price of summer garden essential from £80 to £24 – it's the cheapest on the market Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TESCO has slashed the price of a summer garden essential to £24 - and it's the cheapest on the market. The UK's biggest supermarket is flogging Haven multi-purpose mini BBQ pizza ovens online. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Tesco is selling a mini pizza BBQ oven for £24 down from £80 Credit: Tesco Shoppers will have to be quick though as the offer is only running until June 8. The oven, which comes with an in-built thermometer, can be placed on top of gas or charcoal BBQs to heat up any food. Tesco says it can also be used to cook meat, fish and more. Shoppers buying the Haven pizza oven will have to pay a standard delivery charge of £3. Express delivery costs £4.99. Anyone unhappy with the product can request a return or refund online up to 30 days after delivery date. Tesco is selling the summer essential cheaper than some other major retailers too. BBQ is selling the same model for £51.49, Debenhams for £55.49 and Amazon for £79.99. You can scour the internet to find out whether a retailer has the best price for a particular item using price comparison websites like Trolley, Price Spy and Price Runner. The Google Shopping/Product tab is also a quicker way of checking prices across retailers online. OTHER SUMMER BARGAINS Retailers left right and centre are offering some bargain buys that could come in useful this summer. Shopping discounts - How to make savings and find the best bargains Lidl is selling a £6 foldable backpack in stores that's ideal for flights abroad. The travel essential is available to buy from today. Sports Direct shoppers have been rushing to buy IT Luggage Soft Shell suitcase for £45 too. Retailer The Range has slashed the price of a four-litre glass dispenser from £15 to £10 as well. Other stores are also rolling out garden-ready deals, including Home Bargains. Poundland has also launched novelty garden décor from £6. How to save money at Tesco EVERY little helps when it comes to saving money at Tesco. The Sun's Head of Consumer Tara Evans explains how you can save money at the UK's biggest supermarket. Clubcard points Tesco first launched it's loyalty scheme back in 1995. You get one point for every £1 you spend in store. If you spend points in store then 100 points is worth £1. You can spend your points via its reward partners and get triple and even sometimes quadruple the value. Extend Clubcard points You can find lost Clubvcard points and find the last two years of unused vouchers by logging into the Tesco Clubcard site. Clubcard prices If you don't have a Clubcard then you will miss out on its cheaper Clubcard prices. However, don't forget to check prices before you shop because it might not be cheaper than elsewhere, especially on big value items like washing powder and loo roll. Yellow stickers Shops do vary the time they reduce groceries with yellow stickers but Tesco tends to be between 7pm and 9pm. Save money if you shop online If you get your Tesco food shop delivered then it might be worth buying a delivery saver pass to help cut the cost of delivery fees. If you live near a Tesco then you can get click and collect slots of as little as 25p, so it might be cheaper than getting your food delivered. MORE TESCO NEWS Tesco re-launched the F&F clothing brand online last month. The month before, it confirmed it would be adding The Entertainer concessions to more than 2,000 Express stores. Shoppers are able to pick up a host of value toys with prices ranging from £1.50 to £7. It comes after Tesco previously launched The Entertainer concessions at 850 Tesco supermarkets, creating 1,200 jobs. In February, Tesco also confirmed it was trialling "Your Clubcard Prices" - tailored discounts on products based on shoppers' habits. The update has been rolled out to selected shoppers but not UK-wide. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?

Morrisons shoppers fury over ‘frustrating' More card offer after item SELLS OUT
Scroll to see how the promotion works OUT OF STOCK Morrisons shoppers fury over 'frustrating' More card offer after item SELLS OUT Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FRUSTRATED Morrisons shoppers are fuming after the supermarket encouraged customers to spend more but then ran out of promised rewards. The retail giant introduced a special offer in February offering free or discounted luxury kitchen essentials in exchange for spending certain amounts. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Morrisons shoppers have been spending to unlock rewards Credit: Getty Customers earn one More Card stamp for each £10 spent in-store. Once shoppers have earned 15 - the equivalent of spending £150 - they can unlock discounts on an array of top quality Pyrex kitchen containers. Or, once reaching 30 stamps or above, the items become free depending on the value of the Pyrex product. For example, a 2.6litre dish worth £30 is available for 50 stamps – equivalent to spending £500. Other container sizes on offer include 600ml and 1.1litre tubs. There's also a hand pump which draws air out of the containers to keep food fresher for longer. The promotion has been a hit shoppers keen to get their hands on the items in exchange for loyally shopping at Morrisons. Yet some dismayed customers who have tried to redeem their stamps have found they were unable to get the Pyrex pieces they wanted. Many are concerned they will run out of time to get hold of the items before the promotion ends on June 22. One customer on social media platform said this week: 'Will there be more stocks of the Pyrex dishes before the 22nd? I waited until I knew how many stamps I was going to get before I redeemed & now they've only got the vacuum pumps left in my local store." Another added: 'How frustrating after save for dishes in your offer (Pyrex vacuum dishes) to be told that store doesn't have any…. 'Bad planning on your part and annoying for loyal customers who are supporting you.' Shopping discounts - How to make savings and find the best bargains A third added: 'My local store in Grays has had those free Pyrex Tubs at the front of the store since you started that promotion with the stamps. 'Now it's come towards the end of the promotion & I have enough stamps to swap over for some, the store haven't got any in. 'Will they be getting some in before the promotion ends on the 22nd June? I've read a lot of stores don't have any left now which seems a real shame for everyone who has spent money with you, collecting those stamps.' A customer also wrote on the Trustpilot website: 'Disappointed with this Pyrex offer. 'Saved up the stamps to find they only have the small dishes left and no vacuum pumps… 'Defeats the purpose really and the message is don't bother spending more to get nothing.' This weekend is the last date for customers to earn stamps, they will then have a two week redemption period to redeem their stamps for their Pyrex dish of choice. Morrisons said: "The Pyrex campaign has been hugely popular with our customers. 'With just three weeks to go we are working closely with our supply chain team on a daily basis to monitor and order more stock to meet the demand." It's understood as the campaign comes to a close, Morrisons has moved large amounts of Pyrex products to the checkout areas, and increased the display space, to ensure stock is available and accessible to customers. What is Morrisons' More Card scheme? The loyalty scheme was reintroduced in 2023 and has proved popular with many shoppers. It allows customers who have saved 5,000 Points, to receive a £5 Morrisons voucher which can be redeemed on a future shop, in store or online. It can be used as a physical card or app and customers will be able to earn points on specific products and counters in store and online. That means you won't earn points on every single item. Customers can also earn five points for every litre of fuel bought in a Morrisons petrol filling station. Examples of points you would get based on purchases include: 100 More Points for every five pack of doughnuts (89p) 500 More Points for every £5 spent at the pizza counter 600 More Points for every £6 spent in a Morrisons café 100 More Points for every British BBQ meat pack from the butcher's counter Once a customer has saved 5,000 points, they will receive a "Morrisons Fiver" which can be redeemed on a future shop. Shoppers on the loyalty scheme will still be able to get exclusive prices on certain products, including Pringles, Nescafe instant coffee and Cathedral City cheese after the supermarket launched those last October. The Pyrex offer is another example of excluisve offers for loyalty members. However, last month the supermarket stopped two of its popular food offers for loyalty members. Fish Fridays and Steak Saturdays have for years given customers with More Cards 20% off fish and steak from the stores' Market Street counters. But the supermarket recently removed the offers as it says customers wanted value all week-long, not just certain days of the week. Instead it has now added 125 fish and steak products to its three for £10 offer, which is available all the time, as well as offering other deals on certain dates. Supermarket loyalty schemes - which has one? MOST UK supermarkets have loyalty schemes so customers can build up points and save money while they shop. Here we round up what saving programmes you'll find at the big brands. Iceland: Unlike other stores, you don't collect points with the Iceland Bonus Card.

Scots with free bus passes issued expiry warning – don't get caught out
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCOTS with free bus passes are being urged to check the expiry date - make sure you don't get caught out. Disabled and elderly people are entitled to free travel, depending on their age and circumstances. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up National Entitlement Card Renewal forms are no longer being sent to disabled passholders ahead of the expiry date. A renewal can take at least five weeks - users are advised to apply in pleanty plenty of time. And Scots are being advised to allow ten working days for a new card. Pensioners' passes do not have an expiry date and are valid for life. However cards belonging to disabled people will need to be renewed. But after Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced a crackdown on benefits, several claimants may no longer meet the eligibility requirements. In the Spring Statement, Ms Reeves froze key DWP Universal Credit payments for those too ill to work until 2030, meaning they will get less help every year as prices rise. Meanwhile people claiming incapacity benefits through Universal Credit will see their payments slashed from £97 to £50 a week. The Chancellor also announced a tightening of restrictions around people claiming Personal Independence Payments, a benefit designed to support those with health conditions in England and Wales. Award-winning holiday park in St Ives In Scotland, PIP is being phased out after ministers launched its replacement - the Adult Disability Payment- in 2022. And 14 per cent of our working population receive it compared to nine per cent down south. But it remains unclear as to whether the Scottish Government will be forced to spend hundreds of millions to keep ADP at its current rate after the announcement confirmed cuts to PIP. The cuts to PIP payments in England and Wales have meant that some existing PIP recipients, as well as new applicants, may no longer meet the requirements and could lose access to the benefit. 1 The National Entitlement Card Citizen's Advice Scotland chief executive Derek Mitchell blasted the cuts to benefits. He said: "It's important to understand the context of this. The cost of living crisis hasn't gone away. "There are no circumstances in which ill and disabled people should bear the brunt of the problems in the wider economy. 'It's in all of our interests to ensure the system works and is properly funded. We need more investment in social security, not less. The cuts announced today are in complete contradiction to this and will only cause more hardship and harm.' With that in mind, it's important to know who qualifies for a free bus pass or a National Entitlement Card, as it's known in Scotland, to avoid missing out. You can get free bus and long-distance coach travel in Scotland if you're: 60 or over under 60, disabled and meet certain conditions. You'll be eligible on the grounds of disability if you: get Adult Disability Payment get Attendance Allowance get Child Disability Payment at the higher rate of the mobility component, or at the highest or middle rate of the care component get Disability Living Allowance at the higher rate of the mobility component, or at the higher or middle rate of the care component get Pension Age Disability Payment get Personal Independence Payment get Short-term Assistance while you challenge an Adult or Pension Age Disability Payment decision get Short-term Assistance while you challenge a Child Disability Payment decision about the higher rate of the mobility component, or the middle or highest rate of the care component have a blue badge are profoundly or severely deaf have been told not to drive on medical grounds or you would be refused a driving licence, for example if you would not meet the eyesight standard have a learning disability or mental health condition that has lasted for more than a year. You must need to travel to health or social care appointments as part of treatment activities, care or for rehabilitation. Your ability to travel must also be impaired are terminally ill have a progressive degenerative condition and mobility problems have lost one or more limbs are an injured veteran with mobility problems are under 16 and have a diagnosis of severe sight impairment that's been confirmed by an optician or doctor are 16 or over and registered blind or partially sighted. Cabinet Secretary for Transport Fiona Hyslop said: "It is not yet clear what the UK Government cuts might mean for devolved disability benefits in Scotland and the people who rely on them. "The cuts announced by Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall appear to be driven by a desire to save money and seek to balance the books by targeting the most vulnerable in our society. "Here in Scotland, we are taking a positive and compassionate approach to delivering the Adult Disability Payment and to help reduce any anxieties around the recent announcements. "This approach is ensuring that more disabled people get the support they are entitled to, whilst making sure accessing this support is as straightforward as possible. "That also means that more disabled people are eligible for free bus travel and I would hope Sun readers who are disabled and do not have a Saltire card might now apply for one. "Already, over 2 million older people, disabled people, children and young people in Scotland are benefiting from free bus travel, making over 3 million journeys every week. "Since January 2022, over 200 million bus journeys have been made across Scotland by children and young people under 22 using their free entitlement – connecting multiple generations with free bus use.
