Hair loss and thinning can happen for many reasons, from stress and ageing to hormonal changes, medication and treatments such as chemotherapy. But one hair serum being hailed as ‘life-changing’ by shoppers is winning praise for helping to revive thinning locks, encourage new growth and leave hair looking thicker and healthier.
Those who have struggled with everything from excessive shedding to bald patches say the UKLASH Hair Growth Serum has helped restore both their hair and their confidence — with Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden among its fans.
The Hair Growth Serum from UKLASH is reportedly the UK’s number one best-selling hair growth serum, and proved so sought-after upon its launch in 2024 that it sold out twice. Ordinarily priced at £40, those keen to get their hands on a bottle can currently save 20% in the brand’s summer sale by entering the code SUMMER20 at the checkout.
This brings the price down to £32 for a one-time purchase for a limited period. Shoppers love the serum for its lightweight, non-greasy formula that genuinely appears to deliver on its promises without an eye-watering price tag – a claim supported by its overwhelming number of five-star reviews.
Developed by biologists, the hair growth serum harnesses a combination of AnaGainTM (pea sprout extract) to stimulate growth at a cellular level, while turmeric and lemon fruit water work to protect and fortify hair follicles. The results speak for themselves as, after a three month study from the brand, 85% of users reported visible regrowth, while 95% observed a significant reduction in shedding.
The product has even garnered celebrity endorsement from the likes of Welsh Strictly Come Dancing professional ballroom dancer Amy Dowden, who reported using the Hair Growth Serum from UKLASH following chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer.
In a sponsored Instagram post last year, Amy shared the results of using the hair serum, showing off impressive hair growth with shoulder-length blonde hair that Amy says she’s ‘very proud to say is all [her] own’, reports the Mirror.
The Welsh star reported how she was pleased with how ‘thick and full’ her hair felt following use of the serum.
For those seeking a more wallet-friendly alternative, The Ordinary’s Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density is well worth considering. A 30ml bottle is priced at £13.50 at Lookfantastic and contains a powerful combination of peptide technologies and plant extracts, including RedensylTM, ProcapilTM, CapixylTM, BaicapilTM, AnagainTM and caffeine, designed to fortify hair and nourish the scalp.

For those willing to splash out a little more, the Chāmpo Pitta Growth Serum is another viral product for its impressive results and celebrity backing. Retailing at £34, its formulation harnesses caffeine, creatine, and red clover extract to combat thinning and shedding, while haritaki extract works to soothe and restore the scalp’s natural balance.
Although UKLASH’s Hair Growth Serum stands as one of the brand’s bestselling products for good reason – alongside its cult favourite Lash Growth Serum, adored by Sophie Habboo – and boasts over 1,600 reviews with an impressive 4.4 star rating. Customers are delighted with the results they’ve experienced by incorporating this serum into their daily routine (which requires mere seconds thanks to its convenient pipette applicator), with one user sharing: “Had a patch of hair loss last year and with patience using this product, the patch is completely gone. It is quite remarkable, I had no expectations of it working.”
Another customer revealed how a medical episode resulted in significant hair loss, but this serum completely transformed their locks. They said: “After a traumatic event, I lost SO MUCH hair. I’ve been a huge fan of the lash serum for years as my lashes have always been so short and this serum is also a huge game changer.
“I decided to try the hair serum and I’m blown away with how amazing this is working.”

Someone else added how it was ‘Life changing’. They said: “I was experiencing hair loss at the age of 22 from stress. My scalp was literally see through. I came across this product as use the eyelash serum (results have been again, incredible) every single item that I own, I use daily and it has built my confidence for both, hair growth and not wearing lash extensions anymore.”
That said, not everyone enjoyed the same positive results with the hair serum, with a small number of customers observing no improvement in their hair’s length or density. One three-star review stated: “I have menopausal hair and was hoping to gain some body to my hair however I have not seen much improvement even though I have been using the serum for three months.”
Yet for the majority of beauty enthusiasts, this serum has breathed fresh life into their locks, with one user revealing: “It really works! I must confess that I was a bit sceptical, having tried quite a few hair growth products which didn’t work and… I was truly surprised! Just using the small bottle, the result of strong regrowth was noticed also by my hairdressers, who, naturally, wanted a link to this product!
“I am now going to buy the larger bottle! At my age, 74, it’s not a small miracle.”
