Amazing hair growth!!! - thinning hair due to perimenopause

I am a young 55 year old just gone into peri-menopause and whereas I do not suffer hair loss, even hardly any when washing my hair etc. and my hair is full of foils, I noticed it getting thinner. Freaking out I made an appointment with a Trichologist (recommend btw!) who reviewed my scalp and hair and said no issues follicles were all good however, I had inflammation on my scalp due to internal stress. On that, I bought this product in January 2025 and started using it in February. Just last week I had to visit my trichologist again for a 3 month check up and WOW! the inflammation practically gone (I did also use a peptide she gave me) but she was amazed at how THICKER my hair was coming through. I have stopped the foils too as essentially loving the more natural look with shine (will deal with any greys later LOL by way of balayage) but in such a short time frame I am amazed at the results. On that, I have just had a break from it for a month (as I think you only take these 3 months at a time) and purchasing my new batch today.! Thank you guys!

Hi Lyndy,
So amazing you have seen amazing hair growth during perimenopause and that your scalp inflammation issues have resolved.
If you were still wanting to show your luscious locks some love during the break from Mane Event/Crowning Glory, you could use our Hair Atelier during this time, which will help with strength and condition.
Keep us posted on your growth progress. We love hearing stories like yours.
