Question

Hi, I am mid 40’s and my straight, highlighted hair (shoulder length) is thinning. Do those hair re-growth type shampoos on the market help re-grow hair?

— Tee

Answer

I am a sceptic about this — so I have to say no. The best thing you can do for fine hair, or hair that is thinning, is to cut it to one length — preferably a bob.

I would also stay away from hair colours that contain ammonia, instead opt for a tone-on-tone colour which you can get from your health food store.

A great volumising shampoo and conditioner to use is the KMS Add Volume range, available from hairdressing salons.
