Menopausal hair rescue

items Peri menopause and menopause can dramatically affect your hair. It becomes less dense with more fallout and the natural aging process means more grey - which in turn means coarser, frizzier texture. I focus on hydrating products as well as scalp trea...

Shampoo, condition and gloss
If you live in a hard water area I highly recommend trying this. I use it every other wash as part of a double shampoo with the &honey. Rinses our well and leaves a great shine.
Full Length Anti-Breakage Hard Water Shampoo
Got to clarify your scalp and remove product build up if you want those strands to grow. This is my favourite. I use once a fortnight and a bottle will last you a year.
OUAI Detox Shampoo - Get #OUAIAddicted
I don't use a standard conditioner. I use a mask or a deep conditioner through my mid and lengths every wash. This new release has been my favourite drug store one since launch.
TRESemme Lamellar Shine Hair Mask 440 ml
I use this every other week to brighten up my grey as well as condition. Worth every penny. It's white, not blue or purple isn't a toner but really adds shine and improves condition.
HEART OF GLASS Intense Treatment Reinforcing brightening
Why spend ££££ on glossing treatments when this is top tier and a purse friendly price. I use this every third wash. Really adds shine and manageability.
L'Oréal Paris Elvive Glycolic Gloss 5 Minute Lamination
Hands down my favourite hair care find of 2026. Light textured with a good lather. Hair feels very clean but not stripped. Very, very hydrating. Smells lush. Pricey but bottle is massive.
&honey Melty Moist Repair Shampoo 1 0 440ml
Pre wash treatment
This product gets a bad press as it always seen as I calendar top up and that has diminished it's value as a standout pre wash treatment. I use every couple of weeks on wet hair (doesn't have to be clean!) then wash and shampoo as usual. Adds noticea...
Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Deep Conditioning Treatment
This is marketed as a leave in treatment but it's too heavy for my hair for that. It makes an excellent pre wash treatment though. I apply liberally to dry hair, tie it up then leave it for as long as possible. Wash and condition as usual. Feel the s...
Wella Professionals Ultimate Repair Protective Leave-In
Post wash smoothers
The original. The best. But it must be FEATHER LIGHT as the standard one is much heavier. Can be applied to wet or dry hair to help tame frizz and flyaways.
John Frieda Frizz Ease Weightless Wonder Featherlight
I've wasted ££££ over the years on hair oils that always just weigh my hair down and make it look greasy. This is the only one I use and I'd cry if it ever got discontinued.
OLAPLEX Nº.7 Bonding Hair Oil™ for Soft, Shiny Hair
An all rounder that also gives decent heat protection. Not too heavy on the hair. Dries in beautifully. Adds extra moisture where you need it.
Matrix, Miracle Creator 20-in-1 Leave-In Spray
Hair growth tonics
This is the only serum I have used that actually doesn't leave a build up in your hair and absorbs into the scalp. It also works but consistency is key. Must use daily. I believe your hair gets used to the ingredients so once I have finished a bottle...
G•1 Overnight Boosting Peptide Hair Growth Serum
Very expensive but does a great job. Has a tingling sensation on the scalp so maybe double check if you are sensitive. It also works but consistency is key. Must use daily. I believe your hair gets used to the ingredients so once I have finished a bo...
ENERGIZING Superactive Serum for Faster Hair Growth
An amazing budget tonic. Gets great results but for me it does make your hair greasy after a day or two use. It also works but consistency is key. Must use daily. I believe your hair gets used to the ingredients so once I have finished a bottle I mov...
L'Oréal Elvive Growth Booster Serum
Supplements
I take this daily and I would never give it up! I have tried significantly more expensive versions but this is equally as effective. Really helps with nail growth too.
Collagen and Vitamin C Powder
I'm not a doctor but I think biotin is the best supplement for hair growth. I've been using this brand for years. I take 3 a day. If I don't take it I see an increase in fall out within a few weeks.
Incite Nutrition Biotin Hair Growth Support
Recent blood work told me I was slightly difficient in vitamin d so I added this to my supplements and saw a difference in my hair within 3 months. Solid part of my stack now.
Vitamin D Supplements | Bone, Immune & Muscle Support
Toning products
To keep my greys shiny but not brassy, every now and again I will use this shampoo as a toning mask and leave on for 30 mins. It's blue, not purple so works better with my hair tone.
HEART OF GLASS Silkening Chelating Shampoo
My number one at home tonight product. Works every time. Doesn't dry hair. Doesn't turn it purple. Just perfection at an affordable price point.
