I’m all for pulling unwanted hair out of the body. But when it comes to the hair on our heads, chances are most of us want it to stay put.

Several months ago, research into combatting my own thinning hair led me down a rabbit hole of treatments and products – many of which required a second mortgage while offering little more than snake oil.

But… I think I may have found a hidden gem.

Maintaining the health and condition of our scalp is a crucial step in slowing hair fall and creating the optimum environment for stronger future growth.

Enter stage left: TRYCHO TECHNOLOGY, a professional trichology line from Poland, highly regarded in its homeland for its multi-faceted, modern approach to scalp and hair care.

With an impressive cocktail of well-researched ingredients, at concentrations that actually work, this is a significant step-up from your high street caffeine shampoo.

In fact, independent studies showed 85% of users experienced new growth and 91% found a reduction in hair loss by up to 45%, after just 4 weeks of using the products.

I tested these for months with a healthy dose of cynicism. Long story short: I now stock the full range at the salon.

Strengthening Shampoo

250ml, £11.50

A specialised, professional shampoo that results in visible strengthening and intensive regeneration of weakened hair. In addition to the stimulating effects of caffeine and horsetail extract, the star of the show here is a proprietary complex called Trichogen, which has received quite a bit of attention in the industry of late.

This is a potent blend of herbal extracts, vitamins and amino acids that have been shown to boost blood circulation (ensuring that hair follicles receive the necessary nutrients for cellular health) and promote robust anagen growth (the active, growing stage of hair).

Spray Conditioner

200ml, £10.09

A leave-in conditioning mist for shorter hair, featuring an remarkable combination of betaine, horsetail extract, caffeine, biotin, botanical extracts, soy proteins and arginine – ingredients with a proven track record of nourishing and strengthening the hair, preventing hair fall, stimulating growth and improving resistance to breakage.

Rub-In Conditioner

200ml, £10.09

An alternative to the spray conditioner, the rub-in version contains the same ingredients to inhibit hair fall and defend against breakage, but is a better option for longer hair or early stage hair loss. Apply directly to the scalp and comb through the hair, or spritz onto your hands and rub into the skin and hair with your fingers.

Scalp Scrub

200ml, £14.69

Think of this as a weekly detox for your scalp. A build-up of styling product, oil and skin cells can clog the pores, impact on skin health and prevent the active ingredients in your treatment products from getting where they need to go.

Once or twice a week, apply this creamy combo of exfoliating enzymes, gentle acids and panthenol to deep clean the skin and prepare the follicles for more efficient absorption of the other goodies in your routine.

Hair Strengthening Mask

250ml, £16.00

A deeply conditioning and fortifying mask that contains panthenol, arginine, and Fision KeraVeg 18 – an innovative complex of 18 plant-based amino acids, selected to imitate natural keratin, the main building block of hair.

This weekly mask strengthens, nourishes and rebuilds the damaged hair structure for decreased breakage and noticeably thicker, softer locks.

Strengthening Ampoules

10 x 5ml, £22.58

A real star treatment for home use. Each ampoule contains a concentrated dose of vitamins, amino acids, beneficial plant extracts, prebiotics and peptides, specifically chosen because of their ability to reduce hair fall, nourish the follicles and promote new growth.

This one takes dedication, but the results are worth it. Use nightly for 21 days by rubbing into the scalp. Once or twice a week, use a microneedling roller or stamp to enhance penetration and stimulate the circulation. I’m including a free dermal stamp with every purchase of ampoules during February, while stocks last, so now there’s no excuse!

Salon treatment options

Pssst… did you you know I also offer a choice of proven hair-restoration treatments at the salon, including microneedling with growth factors, plasma therapy and LED?
