Hair loss, whether from shedding, bald patches, thinning, or breakage, can significantly affect confidence and leave people feeling self-conscious. With numerous products available to address these issues caused by ageing, stress, medication, illness, and more, it can be overwhelming to identify which ones actually work.
UKLASH Hair Growth Serum gains popularity
UKLASH, a brand known for hair growth, first gained recognition with its award-winning lash serum. In 2024, it launched its Hair Growth Serum (£40), which has since earned over 1,600 reviews, with users calling it a 'hair saviour' for encouraging growth and strength.
The serum is 'specially formulated by biologists to stimulate hair growth and reduce hair loss'. Its lightweight, non-greasy formula includes AnaGain™ (Pea Sprout Extract), Phytic Acid, and Turmeric to revitalise the scalp. Lemon Fruit Water conditions and shields hair follicles to prevent breakage and reduce hair loss, resulting in longer, stronger, and healthier hair.
Shopper reviews highlight regrowth success
One five-star review read: "What a hair saviour. I purchased the serum after I lost a lot of hair, mainly due to the stress my body had been through with intensive radiotherapy. I found the serum easy to apply, and it dries without making what hair I had look weighted or sticky. Within a month, I could feel what can only be described as stubble on my scalp."
Another user remarked: "Amazing results getting my confidence back. I've been using for three months now my regrowth is amazing I'm no longer embarrassed by my thin patches."
Someone else noted: "I think this is the third spring where I've noticed I am losing hair, probably a change of season. Anyway, I have started applying the Hair Growth Serum every other day, and it absolutely works! I had confirmation from my hairdresser, who asked me if I was using something as she had noticed a remarkable re-growth, glad she noticed without me saying anything!"
Usage and alternatives
The serum is available in two sizes: a 50ml bottle for full-head treatments and a 30ml option for targeted applications. The 30ml bottle costs £29. For a budget-friendly alternative, Aroma Zone's Strengthening & Densifying Hair Serum costs £12.50 for 50ml and contains similar ingredients like Pea and Red Clover extract.
Champo's Pitta Growth Serum, 50ml, is £46 and contains caffeine, peptide amino acids, and lipo amino acids, targeting shedding and scalp health without greasy residue.
Limitations and expectations
Results are not permanent without continued use. The brand explains: "Results from a hair growth serum are not permanent without continued use, as hair growth follows a natural cycle. A hair serum works by supporting healthier-looking, stronger hair while it's used consistently, but if you stop applying it, your hair will gradually return to its natural growth pattern over time."
Not everyone sees transformative results. One three-star review read: "I have not really seen any difference in hair growth as yet, I still have hope. My hair does feel healthier. I have been using this now for 6 weeks, every night and have just over half a bottle left, I purchased the 50ml bottle." The brand states it can take up to 18 weeks of consistent use to see changes.
Despite this, many users were impressed, including one shopper who praised her husband's thinning hair: "My husband has a reasonable head of hair, but it was going thinner on top. He uses the serum daily and it has definitely made a difference to the thinning. It looks great."
