The woman was so impressed with her £10 buy that she took to to gush about the hair and scalp serum.
She said: “I had been finding hair falling out over the last couple of months.
“I put this down to medication that I was taking. I saw the Pantene grow abundant serum advertised and as I could get it at the discounted price of £10.00, thought no harm in trying.”
And she was glad she did as her hair was now thicker and healthier than ever.
She continued: “I have been really surprised at how effective it is.
“No more bundles of hair coming out each morning as I brush it. I have only been using it for a couple of weeks, so can’t say my hair is a lot thicker, but it certainly looks fuller!”

The scalp serum is formulated with their PRO-VITAMIN COMPLEX and niacinamide to add moisture and strength to the roots.

It can be used daily on wet or dry hair to help keep your hair on top of your head.
The product has glowing reviews hitting 4.5 stars out of 5 online and many customers have raved about the results.
One person wrote: “I’m already seeing regrowth at a good rate and less breakage. Will definitely buy again when it’s on sale.”
Another commented: “I have just ordered this product again, only been using a few weeks but my hair already looks healthier and has a great shine, amazing product.”
“Pantene have done it again. Hair feels and looks so much better,” penned a third.
Everything you need to know about hair loss and thinning
Anabel Kingsley, Brand President and Lead Trichologist at Phillip Kingsley , spoke to exclusively.
How many people experience it?
Hair thinning (aka female/male pattern hair loss) and hair shedding (aka telogen effluvium) are incredibly common. Telogen Effluvium probably impacts everyone at some point in their lifetime, while it’s estimated pattern hair loss affects 50% of men by age 50, and 40% of women by aged 50. However, everyone’s hair changes and loses some diameter with age.
Why does it happen?
Female and male pattern hair loss are largely genetic. It occurs when hair follicles on the scalp slowly miniaturize and start to progressively produce shorter and then finer hairs. In men, it is caused by a sensitivity of hair follicles to testosterone/ dihydrotesterone (DHT). This can also be the case with women but isn’t always.
TE occurs in response of some sort of underlying imbalance or metabolic shift. As hair is non-essential tissue, your hair follicles are very sensitive to general health as your body gives hair last priority. When something is imbalanced, or you are unwell, more hairs than usual exit the growth (anagen) phase of the hair growth cycle, rest for 3 months (called telogen) and then shed.
Common triggers are rapid weight loss, low calorie diets, thyroid disorders, iron and ferritin (a protein that stores iron) deficiency, lack of Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D, certain medications, intense stress, stopping or starting an oral contraceptive pill and high fevers. Due to the length of telogen, telogen effluvium doesn’t occur right after the causative event – it happens anywhere from 2-4 months later.
How much hair can someone be expected to lose?
With TE, you can lose up to 3x your ‘normal’ amount each day. It’s normal to lose up to 150 hairs per day, and with TE you may see between 300-400. Up to 50% of hair can be lost with shedding, but the good news is that it’s temporary and hairs should grow back as before once the underlying cause is addressed. With pattern hair, it depends.
Men can go almost completely bald, whereas women usually experience a more spread-out loss of hair over the top of their scalp. As pattern hair loss is progressive, early treatment is so important as this allows you to maintain as much hair density as possible.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “I found this serum to make a visible difference to the density and volume of my hair. I liked the texture of the serum, and the fact it was not greasy.”
“Smells divine and feels really good applying it to the scalp with a gentle massage!” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “After just a week of using the serum my hair felt fuller and thicker, used alongside the shampoo and conditioner, I have felt a big difference. Will buy again.”
