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.

Haircare set that promises 'to slow hair loss' has over 30% off

Philip Kingsley's Density Discovery Set is designed to improve locks while making strands look fuller As we grow older, it's not uncommon for our hair to become finer and thinner. However, shoppers have discovered a revolutionary haircare range that adds thickness and volume to their hair. Philip Kingsley's Density Discovery Set, which includes shampoo, conditioner and scalp drops, is designed 'to slow hair loss' while giving locks a fuller appearance. Plus, it's currently on sale, reduced to £54 from £78 - that's a decent £24 saving. Reviewing the set, a shopper in her early 70s shared her experience: "I have fine, naturally blonde hair even though I'm in my early seventies, but just lately, it has started thinning. The Density Shampoo and Conditioner duo have helped, and they are a joy to use." Clinical trials also vouch for the shampoo's effectiveness. When used with the Density Conditioner and Protein Spray, 92% of testers reported their hair felt more textured, while 25% noticed increased volume after just one application. Shop the Density Discovery Collection £78 £54 Philip Kingsley Buy Now on Philip Kingsley Product Description The shampoo purifies the scalp, fortifies strands, and imparts long-lasting fullness, making it perfect for those dealing with thinning hair. Its ingredients include hydrolysed pea peptides, which offer antioxidant, hydrating, and smoothing benefits. Meanwhile, the conditioner also helps to improve the health and condition of fine hair with its lightweight formula. The scalp drops contain a peptide blend and caffeine to help stimulate the scalp and promote healthy hair growth. However, Philip Kingsley isn't the only option for thinning hair. Champo is another brand on our radar, with its Pitta Volumising Shampoo (£20) promising immediate, long-lasting fullness and body. In fact, it's so popular the brand sells one every minute. Alternatively, for a more affordable option, the Sukin Volumising Shampoo is available for £5.95 at Boots. The matching Sukin Volumising Conditioner is also £5.95. As mentioned, the Density range has bagged some fantastic reviews online. One delighted mother enthused: "My 18-year-old daughter started to lose her hair on top (and) no one could say why. But using these products has changed her life for the better. We've noticed a difference in the last couple of months." Meanwhile, another individual raved: "I noticed the difference after the first use. My hair looked noticeably thicker. Even other people noticed. I have since purchased more and will continue using it. I am really pleased with it and recommend it to anyone with fine hair." Regrettably, not all feedback was positive. A disgruntled user reported: "So far, I am not convinced it helps. Shampoo makes my hair greasy and lank." On a brighter note, another contented customer remarked: "The Density Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner already seem to be working on my thinning, shedding hair. The scalp is less visible, and the hair looks healthy. I am delighted."

Mum who abused son so badly he had to have his legs amputated to be freed early from prison

A mother who abused her child so badly he had to have his legs amputated is to be released early from prison. Jody Simpson and Anthony Smith were both jailed for 10 years in 2018 for torturing their son, Tony Hudgell, who is now 10. He was just 41 days old when he was assaulted by the pair and left untreated and in agony for 10 days. The attack caused multiple fractures, dislocations and blunt trauma to the face, leading to organ failure, toxic shock and sepsis. The damage meant both his legs had to be amputated. Simpson was due to be released on licence at the halfway point of her prison sentence in August 2022. However, then justice secretary Dominic Raab referred her case to the Parole Board and her release was put on hold. A spokesperson for the Parole Board on Wednesday confirmed Simpson was set to be released. Paula Hudgell, Tony's adoptive mother, criticised the decision in a social media post. "Tony has life long injuries every day he suffers due to her hands," she wrote on X. Tony's case led to a public outcry and calls for child abusers to be given life behind bars. Tory MP Tom Tugendhat, who led a campaign for the changes, which are also known as Tony's Law, said on X: "I'm backing Tony as he faces the early release of his abuser - his birth mum. "Tony lives every day with the pain caused by her crimes as a baby. We must do more to protect children like him." Tony has since gone on to be a successful fundraiser for charity - for which he has been honoured by the Royal Family. A statement from the Parole Board said: "We can confirm that a panel of the Parole Board has directed the release of Jody Simpson following an oral hearing. "Parole Board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public if released and whether that risk is manageable in the community. "A panel will carefully examine a huge range of evidence, including details of the original crime, and any evidence of behaviour change, as well as explore the harm done and impact the crime has had on the victims." It added: "Parole reviews are undertaken thoroughly and with extreme care. Protecting the public is our number one priority." A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: "This was a horrific crime that saw Tony Hudgell mercilessly tortured by his birth parents and our thoughts remain with him and his loved ones. "Now that the independent Parole Board has directed her release, Jody Simpson will be subject to strict supervision and licence conditions. She faces an immediate return to prison if she breaks the rules."

TARGET Darts has the perfect Father's Day gift for a serious darts fan. The Luke Littler Loadout Steel Tip Darts, normally £49.95, is a great piece of kit to practice with, and it has a 19% discount. Luke Littler Loadout Steel Tip Darts, £40 (was £49.95) Not your ordinary sports gift, this high-performance set has been designed in collaboration with Luke 'The Nuke' Littler, the 2025 PDC World Champion. With the 19% discount, the Luke Littler Loadout Steel Tip Darts are now £40. Crafted with 90% tungsten straight barrels measuring 52mm in length, the dart set offers serious precision and balance. The radial grooves enhance finger grip for greater control, while subtle touches of Littler's signature purple and yellow colours are evident in the design. You'll also find a 26mm Black Swiss Point, which uses Swiss Point technology for easy point switching. The point sits flush against the barrel for a seamless look and feel. To complete the set, the darts come fitted with a short pro grip shaft for a firm and reliable hold. The £45 set includes six Luke Littler Steel Tip Darts and a board crafted from self-healing African Sisal for long-lasting durability. The ultra-thin wire system and staple-free bullseye allow for enhanced scoring accuracy, and the assembly kit provides everything you need to get the game up and running. But that's not the only signature player-endorsed range on offer. Target Darts also has collaborations with top players like Stephen Bunting, and arguably one of the greats, Phil Taylor, aka The Governor. Alternatively, if your dad is more the beer gift type, we've found a way to snap up eight free beers for your dad this Father's Day.
