Hair Gain

Hair Gain is a UK haircare and hair supplement brand. Its founder started it after her own experience of hair shedding following the birth of her daughter, and spent two years developing the formulas with trichologists and nutritionists. The range covers a daily hair gummy, scalp and hair treatments, a dry shampoo and a refillable shampoo and conditioner.

AnaGain™ is an extract of organic pea shoots (Pisum sativum) developed by the Swiss ingredient maker Mibelle Biochemistry. Hair Gain uses it across the range: each two-gummy serve of Hair Gummies contains 100mg, and it also appears in the Hair Mask and Scalp Foam.

No. Hair Gain makes haircare products and a food supplement, not medicines, and they are not a treatment for hair loss. If you are losing more hair than usual, or it is coming out in patches, see your GP or talk to our pharmacists: common causes include low iron, thyroid changes, hormones, stress and some medicines, and several are worth testing for.

Take two gummies a day after breakfast. The brand suggests at least three months of daily use, and three to six months for best results. Hair grows slowly, around a centimetre a month, so any change in how it looks takes time to show.

Check with your doctor, midwife or pharmacist first. The label advises this for anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, has a medical condition or takes prescription medicines.

Yes. The range is vegan and the brand states its formulas are halal certified. The gummies are set with starch rather than gelatine and coloured with plant chlorophyll.

Peptide Puff dry shampoo is the one for lift at the roots between washes. The Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner are silicone free, so they hydrate without weighing fine hair down, and the Scalp Foam is a weightless leave-in that leaves no residue on styled hair.

The starter kit is a pump bottle made from 100% recycled plastic plus a 250ml refill that screws into it. After that you only need the 250ml refills, which also work on their own without the bottle.

Section dry hair, pat the puff along the roots and hairline, wait 30 seconds for the powder to absorb oil, then massage it in with your fingertips and comb through. It is a powder, not an aerosol, so it goes only where you pat it.

Yes. The haircare suits all hair types, and the gummies are made for adults rather than for women specifically.
