How thyme can make your hair grow – my hair was so thin and shedding but totally transformed when I started using it
A YOUNG woman has shared how she got her hair growing back in just a few months using a bizarre ingredient.
Denise took to social media to share her progress and the transformation has left people stunned.
Denise said she had suffered with Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) as well as androgenetic alopecia which could have been the cause of her hair loss.
PCOS can cause hair loss due to the excess androgenic hormones that people with PCOS often have, which can lead to acne, thinning hair, and hair loss.
In the images, her hairline was visibly thinning and it appeared that bald spots were starting to form.
So Denise decided to start a journey to grow her hair back and shared the best products that helped get her hair growing back in just 18 weeks.
After weeks of trying different products, Denise said there were two that stood out for growing hair quickly.
The first was a Hair Syrup pre-shampoo oil treatment called Growsmary.
It’s specially designed for thin, falling hair that requires a boost in re-growth with a mixture of rosemary and thyme.
Hair Syrup bosses say: “This unique syrup contains Rosemary Essential Oil, proven to be as effective as 2.5% Minoxidil in reducing hair loss and encouraging re-growth.
“The infusion of Thyme further enhances the potency of the formula, adding its beneficial properties to this powerful blend.
“After just 4 weeks of use, users experienced up to a 35% increase in hair growth.”
While the oil makes bold claims that many may find hard to believe, Denise is living proof of how well it works.
The oil costs just £12.74 on Just My Look at the moment, making it just 20p to use per treatment.
You simply use the nozzle of the oil to apply it directly onto the scalp and massage it in before letting it sit for a few hours and then washing it out.
Thyme oil is anti-inflammatory which can help improve scalp health and get hair growing again.
It can also stimulate the scalp, helping increase blood flow to the hair follicles. This works the same way as Minoxidil, which is a vasodilator.
Denise also said she used Minoxidil on her scalp after shampoo to give it an extra boost in hair growth.
The clip has since gone viral on her TikTok account @literallydenise with over 129k views and 2,900 likes.

Hair Loss 101
HAIR pro Samantha Cusick has revealed everything you need to know about hair loss.
Why Does Hair Loss Happen?
Hair loss can be influenced by so many factors, from genetics and hormone changes to lifestyle choices.
Stress, diet, and even hair care habits can all impact hair strength.
It’s perfectly normal to lose some hair each day, but sometimes the body can shed more than usual, responding to things like hormonal shifts or even life stressors.
Why It Happens More This Time of Year
Have you ever noticed your hair seems to shed more in autumn? That’s seasonal shedding!
During summer, we hold onto extra hair to protect our scalp from the sun.
As the weather cools, it’s like our body recalibrates and lets go of those extra strands.
Dry, cooler air can also make hair more brittle, making it easier to lose a little extra volume during these months.
Hacks and Affordable Buys to Treat Hair loss
The great news? You don’t need to spend a fortune on pricey treatments to support your hair.
Try daily scalp massages—they’re so simple but really help boost blood flow to the follicles.
Castor oil is another fantastic, budget-friendly option that’s rich in nutrients to strengthen your strands.
Adding a bit more protein to your diet and a biotin supplement can also work wonders for overall hair health.
Products to Avoid
Steer clear of products with high levels of alcohol, sulphates, and parabens – they can be drying and damage hair over time.
Heat styling and chemical treatments can also cause breakage, so try to use them sparingly.
Instead, look for gentle, hydrating formulas to support your scalp and keep hair healthier through the seasons.
