TikTok reveals millions of posts on the subject, with rosemary hair oil gaining viral popularity as an at-home remedy. There are many reasons why someone may experience hair loss.

Solutions for fuller, healthier hair…
Scalp Facials
The foundation of healthy hair is a happy scalp, so what can we do to support it? Dr Munir of Dr Medispa says, “In-clinic treatments such as Keravive are fantastic for the scalp as it stimulates circulation, whilst extracting dirt and oil. Like a facial for the scalp, a proprietary blend of proteins and growth factors promote healthy hair growth and boost volume.”
From the brand behind Hydrafacial, Keravive uses patented vortex fusion technology to treat the scalp with hydrating and stimulating infusions. Keravive’s Peptide Complex Solution helps to purify, boost, and nourish and is recommended as part of a programme. After one treatment, patients reported improvements in scalp itchiness, dryness and flakiness, and by visit three, 82% of participants saw shiner, healthier hair.
Available nationwide from verified providers (RRP £450 per treatment / £1200 for a recommended course of three).
Enhance and Elevate
Beyond hair loss treatments, there are some simple ways to improve the appearance of fuller, healthier hair. “Even a partial head of tape extensions is an easy way to add not only length, but volume, shape and bounce to your look”, comments Lauren Pope, founder of Hair Rehab London, which celebrates 17 years in restoring hair confidence for thousands of loyal customers this year. “Our easy to use 14” Invisible Tape Extensions, from £51.99, can be professionally installed, cut, and styled to add instant thickness and shape to area’s prone to thinning, especially around the hair line”. Gone are the days of fake looking extensions, “Our ethically sourced, meticulously crafted hair extensions are designed to achieve the ultimate natural 'everyday elevated' look” adds Lauren.
Safe Styling
“The best way to prevent unnecessary hair damage day-to-day is by using heatless styling methods” says Lauren Pope. Hair Rehab London’s Complete Heatless Curl Kit (£52.50) has everything you need to create long-lasting waves overnight. “The tightness with which you wrap your hair around the Heatless Curl Styler will determine the type of curls you achieve, from loose, beachy waves, to defined ringlets”, adds Lauren. The kit includes a silk headband, silk scrunchies, detangling brush, wide tooth comb and the brand’s best-selling hair oil.
Silk Dreams
Designed for curly and afro hair types, Bouclème’s new Silk Turban (£42) is an easy way to prevent hair damage overnight. The Silk Turban has been crafted from 100% premium mulberry silk, this chic accessory not only keeps strands in check but also protects them from nightly tugging, minimising breakage. “Rather than tying hair up overnight, a Silk Turban reduces friction and moisture absorption, and upon waking, curls will be smoother and healthier looking, with little to no effort” comments Bouclème’s founder Michele Scott Lynch.
