'My hair looked and felt thicker within weeks' with hair
A NIOXIN three-step hair system has earned praise from many users on LookFantastic for thickening hair, though some saw no difference. Alternatives like Philip Kingsley and uklash serums are also highlighted.
Women struggling with hair loss have shared glowing reviews of a three-step hair system available at LookFantastic, while others report mixed results. The NIOXIN Scalp and Hair Thickening System 4 for Coloured Dry and Damaged Hair with Progressed Thinning Trial Kit includes a shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in treatment, all intended to give hair a fuller, thicker appearance.
The kit retails at £48.40. According to the product description, the colour-safe collection is enriched with niacinamide and biotin to promote stronger, full-looking results. The brand claims visible results can be achieved in as little as 30 days of regular use, a statement based on a survey of about 230 panellists with thinning hair concerns who trialled the system.
On LookFantastic, the kit holds an overall rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars from 1,145 customer reviews. Many reviewers report significant improvements. One five-star reviewer wrote: "I can't rate this enough, my hair snaps around the front and after years of bleach damage and extensions this has thickened my hair up so much." Another said: "It does what it says on the label! Very pleased with this range of products. I had hair loss following major surgery and these hair products helped to make my thinning hair look fuller." A third added: "Highly recommend this product. Best shampoo and conditioner l have ever used. My hair looked and felt thicker within three weeks. Even my hairdresser commented on how much my hair had improved."
However, not every user experienced the same results. One shopper who noticed no change commented: "Lovely shampoo but no visible results. Three good-sized bottles in the kit, the shampoo lathers up well and smells of menthol, left my hair feeling silkier and less greasy. I didn't notice a difference in thickness so I wouldn't purchase again."
Alternatives: Philip Kingsley and uklash
For those seeking other options, the Philip Kingsley Density Hair Thickening Shampoo is priced at £32 for 200ml. Its key ingredients include hyper-branched polymers, hydrolysed pea peptides, and strengthening molecules. It is suitable for sensitive scalps and designed for everyday use. Some customers experiencing menopausal or age-related thinning have reported rapid results, with a few noting "immediate" effects such as noticeably fuller hair. First-time customers can receive 15% off, bringing the price to £27.20, and a subscribe-and-save option reduces it further to £25.60 with free delivery.
Another product is the uklash Hair Growth Serum, developed by biologists who combined pea sprout extract with phytic acid and turmeric. It has received testimonials from users dealing with thinning hair, alopecia, and chemotherapy-induced hair loss. In a three-month consumer trial involving 50 participants, 85% experienced hair regrowth, 95% noticed reduced hair loss, and 80% reported less breakage.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
