Thinning hair treatments: latest news
Just in! Two new treatments for thinning hair that have seen impressive results in clinical trials. By Bernadette Fallon
PhytoCellTec Malus Domestica Swiss Apple hair treatment
What is it?
The Swiss Apple Anti-Ageing range uses technology previously only used in skincare products, working with ingredients such as Swiss Apple stem cell extracts, intensive phyto-nutrients and protective anti-oxidants. The promise is healthier, stronger and younger-looking hair.
How does it work?
The range activates sluggish cells in the hair root that have lost the power of division and growth. This can make hair weak and fragile, and cause it to lose volume and vitality. By protecting and nurturing stem cells from within the follicle, the products ensures hair is stronger as it grows.
Whats the evidence?
In clinical trials carried out in 2014, hair loss was shown to be reduced by 34% after one month of use and 41% after two months of use.
How much is it and where can I get it?
PhytoCellTec Malus Domestica Swiss Apple shampoo £15, conditioner £17, scalp tonic treatment £22, masque £19, volumising foam £17
AnaGain Organic Pea Sprout hair treatment
What is it?
AnaGain is a 3-step regime that helps boost fine and thinning hair by reducing the rate of hair loss and protecting against further damage. Its formulated with a powerful organic pea sprout extract that helps to initiate the growth of new hair.
How does it work?
Nutrients in the treatment penetrate the control centre of hair growth at the root, encouraging new hair follicles to sprout before the old hair falls out with the promise of creating denser, thicker, fuller hair in three months.
What's the evidence?
80% of a panel of 96 testers agreed that hair was denser, thicker and fuller after two months of use.
How much is it and where can I get it?
AnaGain Organic Pea Sprout shampoo £15, conditioner £17, treatment £39
