But can those hair vitamins make any difference at all?

You've seen them all across Instagram for years: those colourful, popular gummies or pills that claim to transform your hair into long and luscious locks.

Artists and influencers swear by them, but as with any trend, we have a lot of questions. So, if you're considering getting your hands on these hair supplements in Dubai for the magic they promise, we recommend reading the science behind them first...

Thinning hair isn’t just a problem that men suffer with. Women lose their hair too, and while it’s often to a much lesser extent, it can be just as distressing to deal with.

Reasons for thinning hair can range from simple and temporary – such as a vitamin deficiency – to much more complex underlying health problems.

Acting might seem like a pretty glamorous profession, but it’s not always that way. In fact, sometimes you might find yourself in one of the most successful shows on TV, but not actually allowed to wash your hair.

Hair occupies a unique place in the pantheon of fashion. T-shirts can be exchanged for shirts, jumpers shelved for jackets, and an ill-fitting pair of jeans taken back to the shop and switched, but there’s no getting away from a bad haircut. One simple misstep – “Let’s try a buzz cut, why not?” – can result in months of shame.

If you’ve reached a certain age in life, you’ll probably remember the first time that, in total horror, you plucked a grey hair from your head while looking in the mirror.

Going grey is a completely natural part of the ageing process, and it happens to most of us, but it can still be a shock to see your beloved natural hair shade changing colour over time.

Cooler weather, plus weeks of partying, bad diet and not enough sleep means winter can be a recipe for hair disaster.

So, with January's arrival, there's no better time to give your tresses some TLC.

That doesn’t mean a complete overhaul of your routine – depending on the state of your locks all it takes is a couple of tweaks to get them back to optimal condition.
