Mum-of-three Shares How Hair Gain Helped Hair Growth After She Lost 95% Of Her Hair

A 43-year-old Mum-of-Three has shared how Hair Gain helped hair growth after she lost 95% of her hair due to a severe illness. She explains how her newfound hair care routine has reversed her hair loss and restored her self-confidence in a matter of months.

At the end of 2022, Anna, from Wales, suffered from necrotising pancreatitis. This acute illness left her in intensive care and hospitalised for four months.

Upon returning home to her family, Anna began to experience severe hair loss. Her hair started falling out in clumps, leaving behind patchy tufts of thinning hair and bald patches. Eventually, Anna was left with around 5% of her hair’s original volume. As a result she began experiencing severe anxiety and a lack of self-confidence. Consequently, her hairdresser cut her remaining hair into a pixie cut.

Severe Telogen Effluvium

With the help of her dermatologist, Anna was diagnosed with severe telogen effluvium. This was the result of the trauma from her acute illness.

Although a temporary condition that causes significantly increased hair shed, Anna was determined to support its health and regrowth in the best way she could and embarked on her very own research mission.

In just over a year, her hair went from being a “barely there” length to reaching her shoulders. And regrowth came through at double the average hair growth rate. Furthermore, the quality and thickness of her hair has significantly improved, even surpassing the healthy condition she had before her illness and in her younger years.

A Hair Care Regime That Worked

She credits:

  • B12 injections.
  • Increasing her protein intake by restarting a meat-based diet after opting for a vegetarian diet pre-illness.

“I wanted support my hair growth in any way I could. So, I spent a lot of time online researching the best ways to do this. My tummy is very sensitive post illness and I had read that the Hair Gain supplements were easier on your stomach. So, I opted for the hair gummies subscription and they have really helped my hair growth.

My normal hair shedding is minimal compared to what it used to be. And, my hair is stronger and thicker all over. I also use Hair Gain’s scalp foam and hair mask and love them! All three products are now an integral part of my hair care routine. I can't believe how much Hair Gain helped hair growth.

At my lowest point, my hair loss made me feel like I didn’t even want to go out of the house. Now I look and feel like myself again, but with even better hair than I had when I was a teenager, thanks to Hair Gain.”
