John Frieda PROfiller+ Hair Growth Scalp Serum for Thin, Fine Hair is advertised as clinically proven to reduce visible hair loss by 50% in 12 weeks.
Product details say the serum is expertly crafted with innovative ingredients to amplify visible hair growth, strengthen strands, and reduce the signs of hair loss.
Not only that, the advanced formula delivers reinforcing proteins deep into the hair to support its natural bond-protein network, promoting visibly denser, healthier-looking hair with continued use.
Hair fans can buy the serum from Boots for only £7.49 rightnow - and if you struggle is oily tresses, don't worry - the product is said to be non-greasy.
It can also be applied to both wet and dry hair and it is formulated with Rosemary Essence to promote a sense of calm and overall well being.
The product has had glowing reviews online so far, and one buyer said: "I have been using this daily for about two weeks now so still early days.
"I love the scent and feel my hair is in better condition already.
"Hopefully after three months daily use, as recommended, I will see a great difference in the volume of my hair and have less hair fall."
Another fan wrote: "I've only been using this product for about a week, but I bought this scalp serum as I'm certain I'm losing my hair, if not its thinning badly.
"I can't say if its re-growing as yet due to the short time I've been using it, but my hair definitely feels and looks thicker.

"I use it along with the John Freida pro-filler+ spray when styling. My hair is the nicest after styling it has been for a very long time.
"I will be continuing to use this product as so far I'm impressed by it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that I haven't used it long enough to say that my hair has started to re-grow where I've lost it."
A third said: "After several weeks of using there has been a definite improvement in the overall volume of my hair.
"Where the hair was almost nonexistent fine hairs are beginning to grow which fills me with great optimism for the future.
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.
"The texture of the serum isn't greasy and is easily applied. Great product."
While another shopper thought it helped her itchy scalp too and explained: "The John frieda PROfiller+ Hair Growth Scalp Serum was surprisingly really good.
"I've tried many products similar to this and they haven't worked but this gave me a good amount of regrowth from were my hair had thinned out from thyroid issues.
"I also have a very dry itchy scalp of late and it also really helped with that too."
Meanwhile, a shopper is 'obsessed' with an £8 Amazon buy for hair growth – saying it reversed her post-partum hair loss in weeks.
And a radio presenter has revealed that she suffered severe hair loss after having her second child, but a 59p buy has got it looking thick and healthy again.
Plus, another woman shared how she grew her hair thicker using this simple £2 remedy from Asda.
Elsewhere, shoppers are going wild for a £6 shampoo which makes your hair grow quickly, but it won't be in the beauty aisle.

I had been losing my hair for 2 years & my scalp was really bald – an £8 oil helped my locks grow back thick & fast
The TikToker shared her exact haircare routine and products used HAIR-MAZING I had been losing my hair for 2 years & my scalp was really bald – an £8 oil helped my locks grow back thick & fast Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WELLNESS influencer has shared her top hacks on how to get fuller, thicker hair - following her own emotional hair loss journey. Beauty and health guru Gracie - aka TikTok's @thegraciecollins - has opened up about her essential daily routine after 'severely' losing her hair over the past two years. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 The wellness influencer shared her hair loss journey Credit: TikTok/@thegraciecollins 3 The TikToker provided products she uses to care for her hair shedding Credit: TikTok/@thegraciecollins The US star spoke about her meticulous ritual which involves a penny-pinching hair-recovering product. Nature Spell Natural Batana Hair Oil can be bought from a variety of retailers, including Holland & Barrett for £8. The naturally effective cold-pressed pre-diluted hair and scalp oil claims to 'support your hair growth journey' and 'nourish the scalp and strengthen to reduce breakage'. The hair loss guru told followers: "I have been losing my hair severely for the past two years. I'm going to show you everything that I have done. "I use a five per cent minoxidil [hair loss medication] every single night. Not two per cent. Five per cent is way more effective. Two per cent will do nothing. "If you're looking to spend a bit more, Growplex [from £35] is an amazing minoxidil as well. Wash it out in the morning every single day. "Before I put my minoxidil on, I will Derma Roll my scalp two to three times a week. Then I'll put the minoxidil on top ansleep in it. "In the morning, I wash my hair every other day with Nizerol Shampoo [Holland & Barrett, £7.99]. This helps block the DHT on your scalp. "Overproduction of DHT causes you to lose hair and it to thin and shed. "On the days I'm not using this, I use a stimulating shampoo [Revita Hair-Stimulating Shampoo, £26]. I had the worst itchy scalp and dandruff so gave up washing my hair - it hasn't been shampooed for A YEAR "After I've washed my hair, I put this all over my scalp," she said referring to Nioxin Hair Fall Defense Intensive Daily Leave-In Hair Treatment, £57.50, from Boots. The TikToker takes supplements including Viviscal Hair Growth Supplements, £66.49, Holland & Barrett and Pumpkin Seed Oil with Saw Palmetto, Bloom & Bond, £29.99. She advised: "Also, please note that with minoxidil you have a dread shed phase. On the three, four week mark, you're going to notice a lot more shedding, but those are the hairs that were going to shed anyway, so once those are gone the stronger hairs are going to grow through. "Don't fear. Don't be worried. Just trust the process. Everyone goes through it. This is a routine that you have to be religious about. You can't do it two to three times a week and expect to see results." She concluded: "If you are losing your hair, it's more common than you would think. "I feel like in women, it's almost a shameful thing to talk about, and it's embarrassing which I get, but... hey, even if you're losing your hair, we can grow it back. "It can be strong, it can be healthy, it can be better than it ever was before." 3 The Natural Batana Oil comes in at just £8 from Holland & Barrett Credit: Holland & Barrett Hair loss tips We can lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day, according to the NHS. It is not usually something to worry about, but occasional it can be a sign of a medical concern. These include illness, stress, cancer treatment, weight loss and iron deficiency. The NHS advises to book an appointment with your GP to see if you can get to the cause of it. Experts at American Academy of Dermatology Association also recommend to eat healthy, limit curling irons and only use them for special occasions. They also recommend using a gentle shampoo, and make use of leave-in conditioners.

‘I'm really weak' – Chris Kamara gives health update as Sky Sports legend reveals new role
Kamara is fighting against TWO illnesses KAM'S NEW GIG 'I'm really weak' – Chris Kamara gives health update as Sky Sports legend reveals new role Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHRIS KAMARA admitted 'I'm really weak' after giving a health update while securing a new role. The Sky Sports legend, 67, was forced to step back from broadcasting two years after being diagnosed with apraxia of speech (AOS). 1 Chris Kamara admits 'I'm really weak' after landing a new role Credit: Getty The condition sees sufferers struggle to speak as the brain is unable to properly control the muscles used to form words. Kamara exclusively told The Sun last month that he had travelled to Mexico for treatment. He also suffers from dyspraxia, which affects his balance and coordination. And now, the fan favourite has managed to land himself a new role. For one day only, Kamara will be serving free chip butties at Camden Market with Burton's Fish 'N' Chips on Friday June 6. The surprise gig was carefully considered before being accepted by Kamara because of his AOS and dyspraxia. And he admits his health battle has left him feeling 'really weak' overall. Kamara told The Star: 'I'm choosy these days. "That's what's happened with the work because even though I've got the acceptance of my condition, I still don't want to put myself in a situation where it comes back to bite me. 'So I'm not like the old Chris Kamara who would say yes to the opening of an envelope. Fans have 'tears in eyes' as Sky Sports icon Chris Kamara reunited with old pal Jeff Stelling on shock commentary return What is apraxia of speech? Apraxia of speech is a condition which makes talking difficult, with sufferers knowing what they'd like to say, but having trouble communicating their words. The NHS says that the condition can be extremely frustrating for people. They explained: "Frequently the person with apraxia will have difficulties with conversational speech. However they may be good at 'automatic' speech tasks such as counting, swearing, repeating rhymes, greetings and farewell. It's usually caused by damage to the left side of the brain, such as a stroke. The condition does not affect a person's understanding and the symptoms of the condition can vary occurring to the severity of the disorder. The main symptoms are: being able to say a word correctly one minute and then not the next difficulty at the beginning of words greater difficulty with longer words aware of mistakes but unable to correct them speaking slowly being better at 'automatic tasks' such as counting and singing. "Whereas now I'm a bit more choosy and will I put myself in a situation where it won't work out alongside my apraxia, I have dyspraxia, which affects your balance. 'So I'm weak, really weak, and you know, going down these stairs isn't great. "Going up these stairs is fine, but going down these stairs, the brain tells you you're going to fall even though you probably won't, so you have to hold on to the banister and getting on planes and things like that.' On his dyspraxia, Kamara added: 'Walking is fine but the thing is if I trip I can't put my arms out anymore to stop my fall, so if I was riding a bike, when you stop, the brain won't allow your feet to go down and stop you falling. 'You just fall over the sides, it's crazy, but the brain is so complex, it's amazing. 'I didn't realise the compartments of the brain, where if you talk in an accent. So (for me) I advise speaking in a Scottish accent. "The flow is quicker than my normal speeds, which is crazy, but that's the brain for it.'
