Lately, every magazine I flick through seems to contain endless pictures of male celebs sporting slicked back hair dos. From David Beckham to Harry Styles, Oliver Cheshire to Joey Essex, the ‘it’ crowd is full of extravagant quiffs and fringes. In a bid to emulate this must-have style of the rich and famous, it’s been […]
The key to healthier hair is exfoliation. Well, according to some big name brands, that is. Exfoliating shampoos are the latest beauty craze to hit the shelves, with claims that regular exfoliation of the scalp could help reduce the number of hairs shed.

I’m often approached by individuals requesting my endorsement of products and theories surrounding hair loss treatments. Several items, such as Rogaine and Nanogen, are sold on the Farjo e-commerce store and recommended to our patients on a daily basis.

However, I’ve yet to meet anyone who feels that applying windscreen sealant to their follicles sounds appealing – but it looks […]
Earlier this week, the Daily Mail reported that Prince Harry has turned to a special diet to slow the rate of his hair loss. It is rumoured that the fourth in line to the throne has been consuming asparagus in an effort to strengthen his existing hair – its high alkaline content has been hailed […]
