A PHARMACIST has shared her top hack to get your hair to grow back, and quickly.
She took to social media, claiming she had once suffered from hair loss herself and found the best method to make her hair luscious and thick again.
In the clip, she said: “How to grow hair faster and thicker from a pharmacy owner who suffered hair loss.”
She revealed there were two must-have products to buy.
The hair loss expert said: “If you use minoxidil you’ll grow hair faster and thicker.
“If you use minoxidil and tretinoin, the tretinoin will boost the minoxidil and you will grow more hair faster and thicker.”
One 2019 study proved that tretinoin, a form of vitamin A can make minoxidil work faster.
The study found that 43 percent of participants who were initially predicted to be nonresponders to minoxidil responded to the treatment after five days of 0.1% tretinoin application.
And another Doctor agrees, Dr. Ankur Sarin took to Instagram saying: “Minoxidil and retinol together can boost hair growth, but retinol alone won’t do the trick!
“Combining these two can help improve scalp health and hair growth.”
While tretinoin isn’t available in the UK, you can get retinol serums which are also a form of vitamin A.
Both retinol and tretinoin help speed up cell production, meaning it can make minoxidil, a proven hair loss treatment work quickly.
To use the hack, first apply a low-percentage retinol to the scalp in areas affected by hair loss, once dry, you can then apply the minoxidil.
The Ordinary offers a retinol serum at 1% strength for just £6.63 from Boots.
You can also purchase Minoxidil from Amazin for £21.23 from amazin.
The pharmacist’s video went viral on her TikTok account @hairlossremedy with over 300k likes.
HAIR pro Samantha Cusick has revealed everything you need to know about hair loss.
Why Does Hair Loss Happen?
Hair loss can be influenced by so many factors, from genetics and hormone changes to lifestyle choices.
Stress, diet, and even hair care habits can all impact hair strength.
It’s perfectly normal to lose some hair each day, but sometimes the body can shed more than usual, responding to things like hormonal shifts or even life stressors.
Why It Happens More This Time of Year
Have you ever noticed your hair seems to shed more in autumn? That’s seasonal shedding!
During summer, we hold onto extra hair to protect our scalp from the sun.
As the weather cools, it’s like our body recalibrates and lets go of those extra strands.
Dry, cooler air can also make hair more brittle, making it easier to lose a little extra volume during these months.
Hacks and Affordable Buys to Treat Hair loss
The great news? You don’t need to spend a fortune on pricey treatments to support your hair.
Try daily scalp massages—they’re so simple but really help boost blood flow to the follicles.
Castor oil is another fantastic, budget-friendly option that’s rich in nutrients to strengthen your strands.
Adding a bit more protein to your diet and a biotin supplement can also work wonders for overall hair health.
Products to Avoid
Steer clear of products with high levels of alcohol, sulphates, and parabens – they can be drying and damage hair over time.
Heat styling and chemical treatments can also cause breakage, so try to use them sparingly.
Instead, look for gentle, hydrating formulas to support your scalp and keep hair healthier through the seasons.

I’M A Celebrity star Maura Higgins has proved that less is really Maur after displaying her natural beauty by going makeup free.
Former Love Island star Maura – who has recently jetted back from the jungle following her successful appearance on I’m A Celeb – was spotted running errands and looking au natural.
The 34-year-old beauty wore her curly hair half-up half-down – and then in a messy bun – and looked comfy while rocking a black leather jacket and white tracksuit bottoms.
Irish star Maura was joined by a friend as she relaxed on the day out in Chingford, Essex.
She accessorised with black Ugg boots and a designer handbag as she made her way through the town.
The brunette bombshell was in good spirits as she got back into the swing of life following her brutal experience in the Aussie jungle.
The star has been seen enjoying more time with Essex lad, Pete Wicks.
Strictly star Pete reunited with Maura less 24 hours after she landed back in the UK.
Maura confirmed her romance with Strictly star Pete, 36, during her time in the I’m a Celebrity jungle after months of speculation.
After her exit, she seen asking her pal about his Strictly progress as she says: “Is Pete still in the show?”
She later added: “If you’re missing someone, you’re missing someone and it comes out. And I do, I miss him. Yeah, I really do miss him.”
Pete and Maura were snapped snogging earlier this year and she opened up about the photos during a chat with campmate GK Barry.
She said: “Well we’ve already been papped, tongues down each other’s necks and we had no idea!
Earlier this month, Maura and Pete were spotted on their first date since being reunited.
The reality TV duo were seen spending time together in a new snap just days after former Towie star Pete left the BBC dancing contest and brunette bombshell Maura returned from Australia after her jungle stint.
Speaking in the I’m A Celebrity camp with Oti Mabuse, Maura said: “Yeah, we’ve known each other since five years and never once…”
She continued: “He would always say, ‘Oh no, like, we are gonna go on a date somewhere’.
“And I’d be like, we’re actually not. And I was deadly serious, we’re actually not. You’re delusional.”
When asked what changed her mind, Maura revealed: “He wouldn’t give up. And then I was like, ‘Oh fine’.
“I brought my friends with me, and I was like, see it’s a friendship date. And then the next time I went, just me.”
Moving onto what their first date was like, Maura revealed it was no low key affair as she said: “We went out for oysters and wine. Yeah, come on. It was super nice.”
When asked if she and Pete have fun, a coy Maura smiled: “Yeah, a lot of fun. We just dial up 24/7 with each other. We’ve got the very same humour.”
