Hair-growth heroes that really make a difference

If you’re struggling with hair loss, thinning or even the occasional shedding, it can be tiresome trying to find the perfect product to suit your exact needs. But thankfully, you’re not alone. In fact, according to the Australian Journal of General Practice, approximately 49% of women will be affected by hair loss throughout their lives, with female pattern hair loss (FPHL) being the most common cause of female alopecia.

The incidence steadily increases with age in all ethnicities, and the age-adjusted prevalence among adult Australian women of European descent is >32%.1–4 This translates to 800,000 women who suffer from moderate-to-severe FPHL.

Thankfully, there’s no shortage of options when it comes to quality solutions. Below, we take a look at some of the best products currently on the market.
