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.

I tested French whites costing less than £8… crisp, smokey winner is great wine that makes you think you're on holiday
WHEN it comes to sunshine sipping, a chilled glass of rosé is often a refreshing winner. But some French wine buffs reckon it has peaked – and are stepping away from the pink stuff. 10 Instead, vineyards are focusing on producing more affordable whites, as their popularity is on the up. But which is best? Drinks expert Helena Nicklin suggests some tres bon vins blancs, all for less than £8 a bottle. Montpierre Chardonnay White 12% ABV, £4.50, Sainsbury's SOUTHERN France can churn out some cheap-as-you-like Chardonnay. But unfortunately, some are awful – proving not all wines from the continent are top class. This little bargain buy, however, is surprisingly good and great value at less than a fiver. It's got flavour and tastes of the grape. There's a bit of vanilla in true Chardonnay style. A good cooking wine that will be great slugged into sauces and over chicken. When chilled, it's not a bad cheeky glass on the side. That said, not as fresh as a more expensive wine, so one for when you need to keep the price in mind. RATING: 2/5 Pierre Jaurant Chardonnay 12% ABV, £4.85, (£5.85 in Scotland), Aldi in store THIS bottle offers a step up in the French Chardonnay department, but impressively not too much of a hike in price. A golden, peachy little number with a name on the label that couldn't sound more French. It is round and fruity, with a smidgen of sweet spice from some oak staves – but crucially, not in a sickly way. There's a touch of subtle rubber about it, but also a lot of flavour thanks to the fact it's a blend of several vintages. A great glugger for less than a fiver that's very food-friendly, too. You could sip this with all sorts – from a French baguette to a British bag of crisps. Just make sure it's cold. Le Manoir du Baron Viognier 12.5% ABV, £5.14, Asda FOR the very low price, I will be the first to admit I was expecting to sip an unfresh, synthetic-tasting white that tastes of hangover. After all, we've all been there. But proving that lower-priced plonk really can hit the spot as much as a spendy bottle, when I sipped it I was pleasantly surprised. Fans of the classic white style Viognier, from the Rhone Valley, will love the peach and apricot flavours, and the pretty floral note the grape is famous for. It's round and a bit creamy, just as Viognier should be. Perfect alone or paired with roast chicken, it's the ultimate crowd pleaser and a super saver. Ooh la la! RATING: 5/5 Pierre Jaurant French Cotes de Gascogne 12% ABV, £5.29, Aldi THE Cotes de Gascogne in southwestern France is a hub for some brilliant white wine bargains like this. But they are often made with grapes you may not know, such as this Gros Manseng. They're worth seeking out as they offer a lovely fleshy fruitiness that is a bit tropical, but not too sweet. Importantly, they are very good value. This style is often in your glass as the 'good' house white in pubs. Aldi's is a super price, even if it could have a bit more oomph on drinking. But this is such good value that it's worth filling up your trolley and giving it a try. Le Froglet Sauvignon Blanc 11.5% ABV, £6.50, M&S PICNIC or train vino drinkers may recognise the Froglet name from when M&S sold it in single-serve plastic wine glasses. But it looks really cute in this whole bottle form, too. There aren't many wines under £7 in M&S, but this French sip has become one of its more affordable, signature tipples. And on top of being one of the lowest prices you can pay from the store for full-sized wines, it's also not bad drinking. Think very simple and very light Sauvignon Blanc with a subtle leafiness and squeeze of lemon. There's not loads going on, but it's still crisp and clean and certainly French – perfect at the price. Extra Special Cotes de Gascogne 11.5% ABV, £6.57, Asda ASDA'S Extra Special wine range is going great guns at the moment, and this Gascony blend of Colombard, Sauvignon Blanc and Gros Manseng grapes is gorgeous. With its ripe greengage and yellow plum notes, coupled with a crisp acidity and subtle smokiness, this vino showcases exactly what this region can do for not a lot of cash. There's tons of flavour, but it's not overpowering at all and has a thirst-slaking slick of saline. A fantastic wine that's excellent value. The stylish bottle looks far pricier. Drink it with French nibbles and pretend you are on holiday, or impress guests with your French wine find. RATING: 5/5 La P'tite Pierre Blanc 10.5% ABV, £7.25, Tesco, Co-op ANOTHER southwestern French blend, this cute-sounding affordable tipple is a good all-rounder featuring a blend of grapes including Gros Manseng and Trebbiano. Its booze level has been lowered to 10.5 per cent, but in a way that feels natural with this bottle's contents – and many drinkers nowadays are actively looking for a lower ABV. This sip is just a bit dialled down on the flavours compared to some of the others. It makes a good session wine, though, and is perfect for parties and barbecues. A decent summer wine that's widely available – and at a very friendly price. Picpoul de Pinet 12.5% ABV, £7.69, Lidl FRANCE is not Lidl's strong suit when it comes to value vino. But this pretty little Picpoul is a decent drop given how expensive this type of grape can be. Hailing from its spiritual home of Pinet in the Languedoc, think green apple, sea salt and citrus in your glass. Picpoul is a style of wine that's super-refreshing and pure. I'd say sipping it is like dunking your head in the sea. Serve a bottle of this very chilled and it's going to be hard to beat with white fish and seafood. If you are feeling fancy, it would be amazing with oysters, but will slip down very nicely with your fish fingers, too.

Health warning issued as new virus detected in UK for the first time
The Oropouche virus, a tropical malaria-like disease, has been detected in Britain for the first time. The UK Health Security Agency reported three cases between January and June this year, all in individuals who had returned from Brazil. Typically found in South America, the virus can cause severe symptoms including high fever, headaches, and in rare instances, meningitis and death. It is primarily spread through bites from midges and some mosquitos, with concerns about sexual and mother-to-baby transmission. There is no cure, but preventative measures such as using insect repellent with 50 per cent DEET and protective clothing are advised for travellers to affected areas.

Gabby Logan and Kirsty Gallacher show off their youthful looks as they pose during Greek holiday together
They have been friends for more than a quarter of a century, having first got to know each other in their mid 20s. However, as these holiday snaps from their time relaxing in Greece this month show Gabby Logan and Kirsty Gallacher look as youthful as ever. The pair have been friends for 25 years and have been pictured together numerous times - often at glitzy bashes and red carpet events. In one photo, taken at the 2002 Elle Style Awards, Gallacher donned a sleeveless top with black trousers as she posed with Logan in a black top and leather skirt. However, fast forward to a photo from their recent holiday in Greece and it's clear that the pair's healthy lifestyle has paid dividends. The latest snap, which showed the pair posing in the sunshine in similar black dresses, was taken as they enjoyed a break with Logan's husband and children on the Greek island of Kefalonia. One of the snaps from the holiday showed the Logan family, including Gabby and her Scots rugby legend husband Kenny, their jockey daughter Lois, 20, and her twin brother Reuben, 20, who plays rugby for Sale Sharks and the Scotland national team. A video also captured the luxury property the group stayed at, which benefitted from a private pool and a view out over the Ionian Sea. One friend even commented on Logan's seemingly timeless appearance next to the younger women in the group, writing: 'You look [like] the older sister.' The family trip comes after Logan's daughter Lois made her debut as a jockey. The 20-year-old rode at Goodwood in the Markel Magnolia Cup and although she did not place with Spirit of Ecstasy, she said she was itching for more. 'It was over so quickly and such a thrill,' she said. 'The horse was incredible and put up such a fight. We finished in midfield, which was not a bad result. 'I have got more of an edge for winning now and am not so scared of speed. It was really good fun.' Her sports broadcaster and former gymnast mother, who co-hosts Match of the Day, said Lois had put her heart and soul into the training and confessed: 'It's harder to watch than rugby ... It is over so quick and like being a sprinter.' But she said: 'All those 4.40am starts and the months of physical training have been worth it.' The invitation-only Magnolia Cup sees riders from the world of business, sport, fashion and media take part to raise money for charity. Lois, whose twin brother Reuben has followed in their ex-Scotland international father's footsteps to rugby, said they had both been encouraged by their parents to participate in sports - but had worked hard and 'never had anything handed' to them. Lois, a student at Loughborough University, won two classes at the 2021 British Showjumping National Championships and qualified for the Horse of the Year Show. But she told the Telegraph she had never even sat on a race horse before this year - with her mother warning that fitting in training with her studies was going to be a challenge.
