L'Oreal Paris shampoo and serum set for hair thinning and loss now under £15
Shoppers are raving about the 'remarkable' results in just a few weeks of using the set For those who have started to notice hair looking thinner or small patches appearing where the hair isn't as dense as it used to be, so are many. Hair thinning is incredibly common and can be triggered by everything from age to stress and fatigue, as well as daily styling damage. The good news is, there's a proven and super affordable way to tackle these issues from L'Oreal Paris, and right now, it has over 50% off on Amazon. The ELVIVE Growth Booster Shampoo & Scalp Serum Set is currently on offer for just £14.14, down from £29.98. That's a generous saving of £15.84 and 53% off the clinically proven anti-hair loss treatment. Currently, the set can also be found at Boots, but this price hasn't been reduced and is still showing for £30. This two-step haircare set is part of the ELVIVE Growth Booster range, which was initially created to combat hair thinning and breakage, revealing healthier-looking hair in as little as 12 weeks. HASK Beauty recently launched its Repair Series, which features five hero products to help and repair damaged, dull hair. Anyone seeking longer and healthier lashes can find the TikTok viral Glow For It serum at Boots for £30. The secret of this haircare set lies in its powerful blend of Aminexil, Niacinamide, and Ginger Extract. These ingredients help to reinforce hair fibres, strengthen strands from root to tip, and prolong the hair's life cycle, which are all crucial for encouraging thicker-looking locks. While it's not designed for long-term or chronic hair loss, it's ideal for anyone noticing early signs of hair thinning or receding areas. Shoppers at Boots have praised the results. One shopper wrote: "I've always used Elvive products, but recently, due to age and medications, my hair loss has been a worry. After using this for just over a week, the difference was remarkable, and already I have less hair loss, and it feels thicker." A second person raved: "I have been using this serum for two weeks and have already noticed a difference in my hair. It now appears thicker and glossier. The serum is very light, easy to apply and leaves no sticky residue. Also, after styling my hair, it holds the style longer without using excess hairspray." In a third review, one happy buyer shared: "It's making a difference, my hair is definitely thicker." However, one shopper noted: "I can't see any change after using for a month." Online, it is advised that most customers notice a change after using it for at least 12 weeks. Right now, with 53% off, there's never been a better time to give this haircare set from L'Oreal Paris a try.
