How do hair growth products work?
For most hair growth products, their aim is to extend the ‘growth’ phase of the hair follicle cycle, known as the ‘anagen phase’. These products work to create a healthier environment for the cycle, while also helping to lengthen the phase to allow for your strands to grow longer and healthier.

Hair growing serums sound like a good idea, I used one a while ago but honestly can’t say it was working or not.
Olaplex and ogx are great products too
Olaplex are great
Yeah, my hair grows well. i don’t think I need this
I would try these if needed.
I would love to try the Kérastase Genesis Fortifying Anti Hair-Fall Serum.
I’ve just started using Growth Bomb shampoo and conditioner, keen to get my long locks back
Yes I want to grow out my layers
I have 1. & 2. Both great products:)
I didn’t realise The Ordinary had something for hair
These are interesting products.
I like the Grow Thicker Fuller range.
I’m currently trying the Champo one. I feel like there are some new growth hairs around my hairline.
Olaplex are bringing out a new serum for split ends
I’m not convinced that these serums actually work. Possibly I’m misunderstanding.
I really need to give the TO serum a better whirl.
I would love to try these serum.
I’m happy with short hair
Thankfully this isn’t something i need just yet.
