Lucy's Story
When I had my first daughter Molly eight years ago, I had not been warned about post-partum hair loss and had no idea it was a problem facing 300,000 women a year.
It was such a horrible experience, I lost handfuls of hair each day and clogged the bathroom plug on numerous occasions. Losing my hair really knocked my confidence and I found it really scary.
The more I spoke to other women the more I realised that hair loss is a huge problem and one that we tend to suffer with in silence. 8 million women in the UK suffer from hair loss at some point in their lives and there are many causes. Stress, anxiety, over-styling, hormonal fluctuations, menopause and nutritional deficiencies can all cause hair loss – as well as it now being one of the symptoms people can experience post Covid.
I furiously researched for an antidote that could stop the shed and help with regrowth, but found nothing that spoke to me. It made me determined to create an ultimate nutritional supplement that would feed follicles at source. My background is in nutrition and supplements and I was fortunate enough to come across an incredible ingredient called AnaGain™ which is derived from the small but mighty pea shoot.
I spent the next two years working with nutritionists and trichologists to create a world class food supplement with AnaGain™ as its central ingredient - for which I’m proud to say the Hair Gain range is now famed.
The creation of Hair Gain has been a truly personal journey for me. I don’t ever want hair loss to be embarrassing or stigmatising for any women and I always like to share my experience and pictures of what post-partum hair loss after the birth of my children was like so they know that they are not alone and do not need to suffer in silence.
Our Journey
Hair Gain launched with the Hair Gain Capsules in 2018 and they quickly gained a cult following. We introduced our best selling (and delicous) Hair Gain Gummies soon after and have since complemented our award-winning supplements with a range of innovative topical hair treatments including our Nourishing Miracle Treatment Hair Mask - and our Scalp Foam, a water based leave in scalp treatment - both of which have been proven to reduce hair shed by 60% from the first use!
We recently launched our next generation, non aerosol Peptide Puff™ dry shampoo, scientifically formulated with a special blend of actives to care for your scalp and hair in between washes while aborbing oil and grease and adding epic volume!
We've got lots of exciting product development in the pipeline too - you can sign up to our newsletter and follow us on Instagram and TikTok to keep up to date with our latest news, trends and talking points from the hair & beauty industry along with some great offers too.
