REGROW Hair Clinics

Understanding REGROW Hair Care

Hair thinning is about more than the hair you can see. What's happening at the scalp and inside the hair follicles plays an important role in how hair grows, how thick it becomes and how long it stays in its growth phase. REGROW takes a targeted approach to these concerns, focusing on the hormone DHT and combining botanical ingredients, scalp care and hair conditioning in a coordinated routine for men and women.

What Is DHT and How Does It Affect Hair Growth?

DHT stands for dihydrotestosterone, a hormone produced when the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase converts testosterone into a more potent androgen. DHT has important functions in the body, but it also plays a central role in hereditary pattern hair loss, known medically as androgenetic alopecia.

In people with genetically sensitive hair follicles, DHT can gradually cause the follicles to shrink through a process called follicle miniaturisation. Each growth cycle may produce a finer, shorter hair, and the active growing phase can become shorter. Over time, hair may become noticeably thinner around the temples, hairline, crown or part.

This explains why simply making hair look thicker isn't the same as addressing the factors involved in pattern hair thinning. REGROW was developed around understanding DHT's relationship with hair follicles and incorporating ingredients selected for their roles in DHT-related hair care.

How REGROW Targets DHT

REGROW's approach combines scalp cleansing with botanical ingredients selected for their potential to influence DHT-related pathways. The brand describes its shampoo as helping clear DHT build-up from the scalp and hair follicles, while its wider range provides ongoing scalp care through conditioning and leave-in treatments.

One of the key ingredients is saw palmetto, a botanical extract studied for its ability to influence 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme involved in producing DHT. Caffeine is another important inclusion, with laboratory research examining its effects on hair follicles and the hair growth cycle.

By incorporating these ingredients into its shampoo, conditioner and leave-in tonic, REGROW offers a coordinated approach to caring for thinning hair. The focus is on scalp health, DHT-related factors and maintaining the condition of the hair itself, rather than relying on a shampoo that simply adds temporary volume.

The Ingredients Behind REGROW

REGROW brings together botanical extracts, vitamins and hair-conditioning ingredients, each selected for a particular role in the formulation. Some of the most interesting ingredients include:

• Saw Palmetto: A botanical extract studied for its interaction with the 5-alpha-reductase pathway involved in DHT production.
• Caffeine: Derived from coffee extract and investigated for its effects on hair follicle activity and the hair growth cycle.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Helps maintain a healthy scalp environment, supporting skin conditioning and moisture balance.
• Biotin (Vitamin B7): A vitamin associated with normal keratin production and included in REGROW's hair care formulations.
• Panthenol (Provitamin B5): A conditioning ingredient that helps improve softness, moisture retention and manageability.
• Rosemary, Nettle and Horsetail: Botanical extracts used across selected formulations for their scalp and hair-conditioning properties.

Different REGROW products combine these ingredients in different ways. The shampoo focuses on cleansing, the conditioner looks after the hair fibre, and the leave-in tonic delivers targeted ingredients directly to the scalp as part of the daily routine.

Start with REGROW Shampoo

A good hair care routine starts at the scalp. REGROW Shampoo is formulated to cleanse the scalp and hair while incorporating the brand's DHT-focused botanical ingredients, including saw palmetto and caffeine.

Massage the shampoo into wet hair, paying particular attention to the scalp, then rinse thoroughly. It's a straightforward first step that combines regular cleansing with REGROW's specialist formulation approach.

For customers exploring different approaches to scalp care, our broader natural liquid shampoo collection offers additional options. REGROW is particularly relevant for those interested in DHT and the factors associated with thinning hair.

Follow with REGROW Conditioner

Healthy-looking hair needs attention along its entire length, not just at the scalp. REGROW Conditioner complements the shampoo by helping to moisturise, soften and improve the manageability of the hair.

Conditioning is particularly valuable when hair is fine, fragile or prone to breakage. Smoother, better-conditioned strands are easier to detangle and style, helping maintain the appearance of fullness while reducing unnecessary mechanical damage.

Apply after shampooing, concentrating on the mid-lengths and ends, and leave for the recommended time before rinsing. Used together, the shampoo and conditioner provide the cleansing and conditioning foundation of the REGROW routine.

Make the Leave-In Hair Tonic Part of Your Routine

REGROW Hair Tonic is one of the most important products in the collection for anyone interested in the brand's DHT-focused approach. Unlike shampoo and conditioner, which are rinsed away, the tonic is designed to remain on the scalp.

The formula combines saw palmetto, caffeine, niacinamide and biotin with additional botanical ingredients, including horsetail and capsicum extract. These ingredients form part of REGROW's approach to invigorating the scalp and maintaining an environment that supports healthy-looking hair.

Apply the tonic directly to the scalp as directed, paying attention to areas where thinning is most noticeable, such as the crown, temples or part. Massage gently and leave the product in place.

For customers wanting to follow the complete REGROW approach, the leave-in tonic is the natural next step after shampooing and conditioning.

Add Extra Nourishment with the Hair Growth Mask

The REGROW Hair Growth Mask brings an extra level of conditioning to the routine. This intensive treatment combines nourishing oils, botanical extracts and vitamins to help improve hydration, softness, shine and the condition of dry or fragile hair.

Ingredients including rice bran oil, shea butter, panthenol and Australian botanical extracts help care for the hair fibre, making the mask particularly appealing when hair needs extra moisture and attention.

The mask can be incorporated as a weekly treatment alongside regular shampoo, conditioner and tonic use. It's a lovely addition for customers who want to give their hair a little extra care while following their REGROW routine.

REGROW for Men and Women

Hair thinning can affect both men and women, although the patterns often look different. Men commonly notice a receding hairline or thinning at the crown, while women may experience a widening part or more general thinning across the top of the scalp.

REGROW offers men's and women's versions of its shampoo, conditioner and hair tonic. The corresponding products in the current range share matching ingredient formulations, with different packaging and presentations.

This makes choosing straightforward. You can select the men's or women's version according to your preference, knowing that the corresponding formulation is the same. If your usual version is unavailable, the alternative presentation offers the same ingredients.

REGROW Lash & Brow Serum

Hair care doesn't stop at the scalp! REGROW also offers a dedicated Lash & Brow Serum for people who want to care for sparse-looking eyebrows and eyelashes.

This specialised serum is formulated for the delicate lash and brow areas, with ingredients selected for conditioning and supporting the appearance of fuller-looking lashes and brows.

It has its own application routine and complements the wider REGROW collection, making it an option for customers interested in caring for their eyebrows and eyelashes as well as their scalp hair.

Consistency Matters with Hair Care

Hair grows in cycles, and changes in hair density take time to become visible. A strand of hair may spend years in its active growth phase before eventually shedding and making way for another. Understanding this natural cycle helps explain why a consistent routine is important when caring for thinning hair.

REGROW recommends allowing approximately three to six months of regular use to assess gradual changes in hair appearance and condition. Individual experiences vary, but following a consistent routine makes it easier to observe changes over time.

For those interested in DHT-focused scalp care, establishing a routine with REGROW Shampoo, Conditioner and Leave-In Hair Tonic is a practical place to begin. The Hair Growth Mask provides additional conditioning whenever your hair needs a little extra attention.
