There are certain times in your life when you love your hair – it looks healthy, shiny and behaves itself in its given style. Conversely, in older age, I have noticed that my hair is looking tired too and thanks to the menopause, seems to be shedding at an accelerated rate. Normally we lose approximately 50 hairs every day, which is a process called ‘exogen’ but during your 40s/50s, the hair sheds faster and is rather unsettling when collecting my locks after a shower and the when the unnoticeable strands become a ‘thing’ I knew I was time to look for some help.

Thankfully, I am not the only woman to suffer from hair loss and the completely natural range by hair specialist, top selling New Zealand hair loss brand Dr Victor, is designed to stimulate growth using technology referred to as gene repair. This scientific formula is used to identify genetic factors that contribute to hair loss and provide a more targeted and effective solution rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

The idea is to apply the Kopyrrol – Kopexil infused solution directly on the scalp for three months. The compound is designed to speed up the transfer of nutrients to the hair follicles which in turn, will instantly repair the missing genes to encourage hair follicles to become thicker and naturally produce growth. Even after three weeks, my hair did appear to be more lustrous – growing longer more quickly and was such an easy procedure!

As a straightforward option, this is a definite subtle confidence boost, as although hair still falls out when brushing, there is a foamy shampoo to keep shower-shedding to a minimum, and the ginger, ginseng, and leaf extract add extra antibacterial and hair restoration properties and smell delicious too.

With luxurious conditioners and itch shampoo also in the range, Dr Victor has you covered for all eventualities.
