The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density costs just £18.72 for a 60ml bottle and claims to leave your hair looking fuller and feeling healthier.
“Applying a few drops daily, ideally at bedtime, to the clean, dry scalp and massaging thoroughly promotes improved hair density.
“This leave-on treatment can enhance your hair care routine, promoting visibly healthier and more vibrant hair,” the product description reads on Boots.com.
Not only that, but the product has hundreds of rave reviews from shoppers who love the serum, with many awarding it a perfect five star rating.
One said: “My hair is thin and oily so it takes a lot of work to give it volume and after several uses I can definitely see that it helps give my hair life and look fuller every time.”
A second had a similar reaction and wrote: “I have been using this for a few years now and just love how it has helped with my thinning hair.
“It has seen some regrowth but the volume it leaves my hair is phenomenal.”
“After I wash my hair I’ve been applying this before bed for over a week.
“I make sure I really work it into my scalp because some products make your hair greasy the next morning but I didn’t have that problem with this product,” another said.
“I’ve definitely noticed a more volume look and even less frizzy hair in the mornings since I started using! Wonderful quality for the money,” they added.
The serum also comes in a slightly smaller 30ml bottle for £12.15, but you can also get your hands on 100% Organic Cold Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil from the brand to help revive your hair.
“Argan oil‘s main fatty acid content is made up of oleic acid and linoleic acid,” the product description reads.
“The oil supports healthy skin and reduces the appearance of flaking. It also adds soft sheen and strength to hair.”
How do hair growth serums work?
Although each product is formulated to work differently, in general hair growth serums work by nourishing the scalp and hair follicles to help promote thicker and healthier hair growth serums work
- Improve blood flow Some serums work by increasing the blood flow to the scalp which can in turn help extend your hairs growth phase.
- Strengthen hair Ingredients including biotin and certain peptides reportedly help strengthen hair by rebuilding damaged keratin, meaning hair will snap and break off less.
- Protect hair Serums can create a protective shield to protect your strands from heat and other environmental stressors you my encounter day-to-day.
- Improve hair appearance Some serums can plump hair fibres creating the illusion of thicker hair.
Hair loss tips
We can lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day, according to the NHS.
It is not usually something to worry about, but occasional it can be a sign of a medical concern.
These include illness, stress, cancer treatment, weight loss and iron deficiency.
The NHS advises to book an appointment with your GP to see if you can get to the cause of it.
Experts at American Academy of Dermatology Association also recommend to eat healthy, limit curling irons and only use them for special occasions.
They also recommend using a gentle shampoo, and make use of leave-in conditioners.
Hairstyles that are kind to your locks
- Loose Braids: Opt for loose, soft braids rather than tight ones to minimise tension on the scalp and reduce breakage.
- Low Ponytail: A low ponytail is less stressful on your hair compared to high, tight ponytails. Use a fabric-covered hair tie to avoid snagging.
- Messy Bun: A relaxed, messy bun can be both stylish and kind to your hair. Avoid pulling your hair too tightly and use gentle hair ties.
- Soft Waves: Embrace your natural texture or use heatless methods to create soft waves, reducing the need for damaging heat styling tools.
- Half-Up, Half-Down: This style keeps some hair pulled back while leaving the rest down, reducing the strain on your scalp.
- Headbands and Scarves: Using headbands or scarves can keep hair out of your face without causing damage, and they can be quite fashionable.
- Loose Plaits for Sleeping: Before bed, loosely plait your hair to prevent tangles and breakage overnight.
