For many women, hair loss can be a major cause of declining confidence, with age, genetics, hormonal changes and stress all factors in seeing more shedding. Some shoppers have been turning to supplements in a bid to maintain healthy hair, with broadcaster Sara Cox crediting a 78p-a-day formula for keeping her locks ‘looking fuller’.
The BBC2 Radio presenter noticed her hair feeling ‘dry’ and ‘looking a bit dull’, and revealed she turned to a daily hair supplement to help restore thickness. The 51-year-old has become the latest ambassador for supplement brand Dr Vegan, hailing it as her ‘saviour’.
The supplement in question is the brand’s Hair Saviour, which costs £25.99 for a 30-day supply. The award-winning supplement combines 14 scientifically studied ingredients, and was developed by practitioners to support healthy hair growth and address nutritional deficiencies that may contribute to hair thinning or hair loss in both women and men.

Speaking about her experience, Sara said: “My hair was feeling a little bit dry and it was looking a bit dull, so I needed help. I wasn’t interested in a quick fix. My saviour, quite literally, is Hair Saviour.”
She added: “After about six weeks I noticed less shedding and my hair began to feel fuller. After around eight to ten weeks, I started seeing new baby hairs coming through. You’ve got to stick with it, but with my iconic fringe, it’s looking fuller and better than ever. Bottom line is my own hair just feels healthier and definitely feels fuller.”
Hair Saviour
Award-winning Vegan Hair Supplement for Hair Loss and Hair Thinning
Hair Saviour contains AnaGain, which is a pea shoot extract that has been clinically studied for its effects on hair health. In one study, the ingredient was shown to increase the natural inclination for hair growth by up to 78%, as well as prolong the hair growth cycle.
According to Dr Vegan customers typically begin to see visible improvements within eight to twelve weeks. A customer survey conducted by the brand in June 2024 found that 81% of users who took Hair Saviour for three months or more felt the supplement was effective, 73% noticed improved hair strength after three months, and 70% reported new hair growth after the same period.
Ideal for people looking to nourish their hair without taking anything their body doesn’t need, the formula prides on being 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and with no additives. The supplement also provides nutrients such as Biotin, Zinc and Selenium to support scalp health and hair strength.

As an alternative, Feel offer their Hair Support supplement for £45.15 down from £56.43. It harnesses the power of Keranat, which is scientifically proven to reduce hair loss, restores the natural growth cycle and strengthens the hair from root to tip.
Some people may prefer a topical treatment, and for that, Champo is a top pick. Their £34 hair growth serum is perfect for those with fine hair experiencing thinning or loss. The ingredients feature Caffeine, Tetrapeptides and Ayurvedic Haritaki Extract, which is said to instantly volumise roots while stimulating the scalp for fuller, stronger hair.
Back at Dr Vegan, shoppers who are looking to stock up on the Hair Saviour supplement can save money with the brand’s subscription service. Customers can sign up to a three-month supply for £69.99, which works out at around 78p per day.
Customer reviews for Hair Saviour echo Cox’s experience. Emma, 53, said her hair “felt different within a month” after damage from bleaching. She said: “I had a hair disaster in 2020/21 when I decided to go blonde. I never thought I would ever get my hair back to a good condition. I started Hair Saviour and within a month my hair felt different. Soft, shiny hair was making a return, my hairdresser couldn’t believe how much it had grown between appointments. I am so thrilled to have healthy happy hair again and at 53 years old.”
Another customer, Rebecca, reported smoother, less brittle hair despite living with autoimmune illness. She wrote: “I have taken Hair Saviour for a month now and my hair is already feeling smoother, sleeker, less frizzy and I can go much longer between washes without it getting greasy. With autoimmune illnesses and related meds, my hair is usually fine, brittle and falling out – genuinely feel this isn’t the case anymore. Can’t praise it enough.”

Others have highlighted improvements in thickness, even noticing improvements beyond the scalp, commenting: “I’ve only been taking it for 5 weeks and I can see a difference already! My hair is in much better condition, my nails have grown, my eyebrows have grown as have my eyelashes. I am so impressed”.
Not everyone has seen the results they were hoping for, however, with one commenting: “I’ve been using this product for well over six months now and to be honest I really can’t see any improvement in the volume or thickness of my hair. Saying that my hairdresser has noticed a difference?? But my hair still looks the same to me. I still have it coloured and perhaps this doesn’t help. Trying to embrace my grey but struggling so revert to a colour. I’ll continue to use it until the end of the year and if I still feel the same.”
Another customer, called Bev added: “You have to have patience and they will work. I took them for 3 months before I noticed lots new baby hairs filling in the thinning areas. I had tried everything including Regaine for women but it was dr vegan hair saviour that worked for me.”
