WE all want thick, luscious hair, but sometimes life gets in the way.

There are many reasons why hair can start to fall out, from pulling it back in a tight hairstyle to treating it with heat. A dermatologist has revealed her tips for making it grow back stronger and faster than ever.

Dr. Neera from the US shared her best hair care tips on social media.

And if anyone knows how to make her hair grow, it’s her.

The skincare expert previously revealed that she herself suffered from bald spots and had tried all sorts of methods to make her hair grow back better than ever.

In a recent clip, she shared that you should always start with an anti-dandruff shampoo.

She said, “If you use anti-dandruff shampoo, your hair fall will reduce.”

You can buy Head & Shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo for just £2.49 at Tesco.

The next one a must-have on her list was pumpkin seed oilwhich can help reduce hormonal hair loss. A bottle retails for £7.80 on Ocado.

The third step was the use of Minoxidil, which accelerates and activates hair growth.

Haircare brand Regaine’s main ingredient is Minoxidil and it’s available on Amazon for £20.82 instead of £29.99.

The last step was to use a scalp massager (or massage the scalp with your hands).

This step improves blood circulation to the hair roots, making the hair thicker.

The clip has since gone viral on her TikTok account @dermatology surgeon with over 2 million views and 170,000 likes.

People were quick to share their thoughts and thank Dr. Neera in the comments.

Someone wrote: “So I followed your advice as I was having a lot of hair fall. After 2nd use of Nizoral… my hair stopped falling. I used castor oil, Amla and rosemary to regrow it with scalp massage. Thanks.”

The 4 Phases of the Hair Growth Cycle

Hair experts at Philip Kingsley shared the four stages of the hair growth cycle: Anagen, Catagen, Telogen and Exogen

Anagen phase:Also called the ‘growth phase’ or ‘active phase’, is the phase in which the cells in the hair root divide most rapidly, causing more new hair to be formed.

During the Anagen Phase, hair grows about half an inch per month [about six inches a year]and faster in summer than in winter.

This phase of the hair growth cycle lasts an average of three to five years.

Catagen phase:After the anagen phase, your hair cycle enters a short transition phase called the catagen phase. This phase marks the end of active hair growth and separates individual hairs from the blood supply and the cells that produce new hair.

About three percent of all hairs are in this stage at any one time and it lasts about 10 days.

Telogen phase:The third phase of your natural hair growth cycle is the telogen phase, a resting period during which hairs remain in their follicles but are not actively growing.

It is estimated that 10-15 percent of your hair is in the telogen phase at any given time.

The telogen phase lasts about three months or 100 days.

Exogenous phase:The final stage of the hair growth cycle, when individual hair strands release from their follicles and fall out.

Now the whole process starts again.

Another commented, “Let me get the pumpkin seed oil vitamin. I’m already taking everything else.”

“I love Nizoral! It makes my hair grow so much faster!!” wrote a third.

Meanwhile, a fourth said: “I love this! Great video!!”

“Thanks girl,” claimed a fifth.

Someone else added: “Thanks doctor!”
