The £6 shampoo shoppers are going wild for, which makes your hair grow quickly, but it won't be in the beauty aisle

WHEN it comes to growing your hair out, there's a whole lot of products you can try. Many swear by 2 Beauty fans swear by a shampoo for hair growth, but it's not in the beauty aisle Credit: TikTok/@bambidoesbeauty 2 The viral shampoo was initially made for horses Credit: TikTok/@bambidoesbeauty The latest hair growth trend taking social media by storm is a Shampoo, but you won't find it in the beauty aisle. That's because women are obsessed with a horse shampoo and claim it helps locks grow way faster. The hashtag has over 16 million posts on the social media app, and one of them is Elle McNamara (AKA The beauty whizz recently shared a video of her 'unsexy hygiene products' for the summer and it was at the top of her list. READ MORE BEAUTY TIPS She wrote: "Every comment section on hair growth Tok recommended HORSE shampoo. "I have no idea on the science behind it but you know what - hell yeah." People in the comments section of the post were equally stunned and intrigued by the haircare product, One person wrote: "Horse shampoo???" Most read in Fabulous Another commented: 'I've literally never seen this shampoo used on an actual horse." "Mane and Tail omg I used that when I was about 14," penned a third. My hair fell out in clumps due to diet of takeaways and Coke but I had a turning point But the question is, how does it work? According to the company's site, it is jam-packed with Collagen, Biotin, and Keratin, which support cell growth, strengthen hair, and provide moisture to help maintain hair length. While many say it helps grow hair quickly (with some stating three inches of growth in just one month,) there might be something else at play. The hair range was originally created for horses, and was developed to repair split ends and prevent breakage. So, the quick hair growth people rave about might be from less breakage at the ends, rather than new hair coming from the root. Because the shampoo has added keratin, it's best to use it every other hair wash day rather than all the time. While keratin can make hair stronger, too much of it can make it brittle and more likely to snap off. 4 reasons your hair is thinning From fixing it to faking it, your guide to healthier, thicker hair from Trichologist Anabel Kingsley. 'Hair thins naturally as we get older because like our skin and muscles, the hair ages and changes,' Anabel Kingsley, trichologist at Philip Kinglsey explains. It can also be because of genetics, made worse by other health factors like menopause or thyroid disorders. 'Hair follicles very gradually shrink and produce finer and shorter strands with each passing hair growth cycle,' she adds. But while we can't help things like genetics or the ageing process, we can do something about some of the other causes of hair thinning. Here are four, fixable ones you need to know about. 1. Your hormones are raging 'Leading up to and during your period, the scalp may become oilier, which may trigger flaking and itching if you are predisposed to dandruff - and leaving an irritated scalp untreated can lead to hair loss,' says Anabel. Loss of hair post-pregnancy is very common too; 'After giving birth or stopping breast-feeding, oestrogen levels drop and return to normal,' Anabel explains. 'This can cause all the hairs retained during pregnancy to shed at once (usually six-12 weeks later), known as postpartum hair loss.' Don't panic, this is only temporary, but experts recommend you start taking daily hair supplements to support the hair's growth. 2. Your hair can't take the heat 'Heat drains moisture from within the hair shaft and because our hair's elasticity and strength is largely reliant on its water content, hair can become dry, brittle and prone to breakage,' Anabel explains. To prevent damage in the future, Anabel advises using a low setting on your heat styler, straightening only once a week and switching off your blow-dryer when your hair is just dry, as 'using heat on completely dry hair will evaporate water from the hair shaft'. 3. You're stressed 'Hair is non-essential to physical survival so it will always be the first part of you to suffer when something is off-kilter,' Anabel says. Stress affects the scalp which can have a negative impact on the eventual health and growth of the hair. 'Stress spikes cortisol levels which in turn increases oil production,' adds Anabel. 'Cortisol, a stress hormone, disrupts the skin's barrier function and triggers skin irritation which is why your scalp gets itchy and flaky when you are going through a stressful period.' 4. You're eating the wrong food 'Diet is incredibly important to hair health,' says Anabel. 'Being a non-essential tissue, hair is the last part of us to benefit from nutrients we ingest and the first to be withheld from them.' Avoid mercury-rich fish like tuna and also full-fat dairy like cheese if you suffer from dandruff. 'This can trigger flaking and itching which can then lead to hair thinning,' she says.

Here are some effective ways to enhance privacy in your garden: 1. Fencing Install a tall, solid wooden or vinyl fence. This is one of the most straightforward ways to gain immediate privacy. Or use lattice panels, trellis, or slatted fencing to add a decorative touch while still offering privacy. 2. Hedges and Plants Fast-growing evergreen shrubs or trees like Leylandii, Thuja, or Bamboo along the boundary of your garden can help with privacy. Grow a dense hedge using plants like Boxwood, Privet, or Laurel. It may take time to grow, but it provides a natural and green privacy screen. Use climbers like Ivy, Clematis, or Wisteria on fences or trellises to create a lush, green privacy barrier. 3. Outdoor Curtains Hang outdoor curtains around pergolas, gazebos, or patios for an easy-to-adjust privacy solution. 4. Sound Barriers A water fountain or small waterfall can help drown out noise, adding to the sense of privacy. Or install fencing designed to reduce noise if privacy from sound is also a concern. Katie, who created a 'mixed hedge with varying sizes for extra focal interest', also shared: 'They are perfect for DIY fans beam The Instagram clip, which was posted under the username @ Not only this, but it's also amassed 5,312 likes and 168 comments.

Penstemon I love this plants genus of because most will flower all summer and autumn. They'll grow in sun or semi-shade in a well drained soil and produce a non-stop display of tubular flowers in an array of colours and colour combination to suit all tastes. Luzula sylvatica 'Marginata' With the evergreen leaves edged with yellow it's great asset is that it will grow in sun or shade in any type of soil and is great as groundcover in the hardest spot to fill - dry shade. Eryngium x zabelii 'Big Blue' A stunning, nectar-rich plant that will feed the beneficial insects in your garden. Leave the flowerheads once they have turned brown because they look stunning with winter frost and snow, extending the plant's interest period. Sarcococca hookeriana 'Winter Gem' If you need winter scent then look no further than this compact, evergreen shrub. The scent is stunning and the evergreen leaves create an excellent backdrop for the summer flowers. Cornus sanguinea 'Anny's Winter Orange' A dwarf version of 'Midwinter Fire' the very colourful stems create a stunning winter display, particularly on sunny days. Rosa 'Noisette Carnee' A very well-behaved climbing rose that is perfect for training over an arch, pergola or gazebo. The small, 'noisette' flowers are blush-pink and produce the most amazing clove scent constantly from June to November. Sanguisorba hakusanensis 'Lilac Squirrel' I've never seen a squirrel with a drooping, shaggy lilac tail, but this variety will give your garden an unusual and different look throughout summer. It does need a moisture retentive soil but will grow in sun or semi-shade. Another added: 'Absolutely beautiful.' A third commented: 'They look great.'
