5 Solutions for Hair Loss from Industry Experts
Hair loss is a growing concern affecting millions globally, regardless of age or gender. Factors like genetics, hormonal changes, stress, poor nutrition, and environmental pollutants contribute to this rise. Styling, including chemical treatments and heat, further weakens hair follicles, leading to increased hair fall. The psychological impact of hair loss is significant, often resulting in decreased self-esteem and increased anxiety. With society placing a high value on appearance, those experiencing hair loss can feel self-conscious and isolated.

Our specialists have shared their tips and selected products known for their efficacy in strengthening hair, promoting growth, and reducing hair fall.

1. Use a Targeted Shampoo and Conditioner
“When dealing with hair loss or thinning hair, a dedicated shampoo and conditioner is the perfect foundation to build upon, as it can help to fortify, strengthen and stimulate hair whilst limiting breakage and helping to prevent hair loss. The Klorane Strengthening Shampoo and Conditioner with Quinine and organic Edelweiss for thinning hair have all these benefits, helping to reduce hair loss by 60% thanks to its innovative strengthening formula and the Conditioner, 84% less hair breakage after brushing.” – Charlotte Wood, Klorane UKIE Training Consultant
2. Try Capsules
“If hair loss is your primary beauty concern, treating it internally and topically is essential. Hairology gets right to the root of hair loss. Feeding essential micronutrients to the hair follicle to help stimulate and promote new hair growth while reducing hair fall. Vida Glow’s Hairology capsules hero the natural active AnaGain™, which has been clinically proven to reduce hair loss by 34% after 28 days of supplementation. That means that after one bottle of Hairology, you will notice less hair fall, a clear sign of regulating the growth cycle. We recommend supplementing for at least 3 months for optimal results to see tangible improvements in overall hair growth and density.” – Natasha Feros, Vida Glow Senior Innovation Manager
3. Or… Gummies
“Taking the vegan Hair Gain Gummies consistently is a great way to support your hair health and supplement your diet and is a perfect alternative for those who struggle with swallowing pills or capsules, particularly for individuals with dysphagia or a general aversion to taking traditional supplements. The gummies are chewable and easy to digest, meaning they can be easier on the stomach than some capsules that may cause gastrointestinal discomfort or irritation. Their chewable form can also facilitate better breakdown and absorption of nutrients, which can enhance their effectiveness in promoting hair health. In addition, the natural apple & berry flavour of the Hair Gain gummies make them the most delicious and tastiest form of hair care, meaning your supplementation routine is a much more enjoyable experience, and you are more likely to remember to take them, thus encouraging consistent use which is really important as it takes time to build up the nutrient stores in your body. Lastly, as you can simply chew the gummies on their own without needing water, they are often a more convenient solution for many.” – Samantha Stewart, Hair Gain Consultant Tricholologist
4. Use a Leave-in Scalp Spray
“One of the challenges for patients using hair growth stimulants is remembering to leave the product on the head for at least three minutes when shampooing to ensure its efficacy. H-Stimuforten is a leave-on spray that helps those who are forgetful and those who lead busy lives. The product is designed to be applied once or twice daily on dry or wet scalp in the morning and evening. This allows for a more intensive and effective treatment while ensuring comfort: H-Stimuforten doesn’t weigh hair down, which is highly appreciated by our patients, especially when they use it before going out.
Clinical studies have recently demonstrated that the 0.2% concentration of caffeine present in H-Stimuforten is as highly effective in hair growth stimulation as a 5% solution of Minoxidil. Based on this knowledge, the formulation of H-Stimuforten has been created to guarantee visible results.” – Dr Michael Rachalewski, Pharmaceris Scientific Expert
5. Add a Hair/Scalp Mask To Your Routine
“Our Density range is formulated by trichologists to help those who are concerned with changes in hair density. If you feel your strands are fine or fragile, your scalp is more visible or you’re seeing too much hair fall when you shampoo or brush your hair, then our Density haircare range is for you. Prioritising scalp health is key to optimal hair growth as hair follicles are a function of the skin (scalp). Therefore, a regular scalp mask like the Stimulating Scalp Mask will invigorate, stimulate and hydrate the scalp providing an optimal scalp environment, a healthy place for follicles to thrive.” – Lisa Caddy, Philip Kingsley Consultant Trichologist
