The hair growth products our editors swear by

from $60 at Oz Hair & Beauty

"I have high porosity hair, so I can struggle to keep my strands hydrated, silky and soft. As a result my post-wash hair care routine is all about layering moisturising products into my hair, starting with the most lightweight consistency first. Once I’ve towel dried my hair, I spritz and comb Dyson’s Omega™ Leave-In Conditioning Spray ($110 from Dyson) through my lengths and ends, and then I’ll thin out a few pumps of Manda’s The Styling Cream ($54 from Manda) with the Canamo Revive Hair Serum ($60 from Oz Hair & Beauty). I’ve noticed the biggest difference to the overall look and feel of my hair since I started using this serum. But perhaps that has something to do with its hero ingredients; hydrating and strengthening golden hemp seed oil, stimulating caffeine, and hydrolysed wheat protein, which promises to improve the elasticity and resilience of hair. It could be the placebo effect, but I swear my hair has grown a lot faster since I started to incorporate it into my routine." — Briar Clark, BEAUTYcrew’s Beauty Editor

"After a nasty hair extension removal incident, I was trying just about anything to restore the thicker, longer hair I once had. A late night, panicked Amazon scroll led me to this little blue bottle and to sum up how helpful I found it, I now have a subscription that arrives every month because I refuse to run short. If I’ve got a weekend with no plans (the ideal kind for a beauty reset), I’ll wash my hair, and massage this into my scalp so it can sit for 24 hours before a proper wash and style. It’s very, um, herbaceous in scent, so it leaves me smelling like a rosemary-rubbed roast lamb, but I do feel like it helps to stimulate the growth process, and for that I’m willing to suffer. Personally, I prefer to wrap it in a shower cap to let it ‘marinate’ most effectively, and luckily that also helps to control the scent’s strength." — Delaney Loane, BEAUTYcrew’s Editor

"As a proud owner of a bob, I can say that hair growth isn’t always my top priority, however increasing the strength and thickness of my hair is something that I’m always thinking about. I’ve recently started using the Bouf Flouf Factor Growth Tonic and I’m already impressed! I love that it has patented technology behind it, and am especially impressed that I can use it twice a day without my hair becoming greasy! I haven’t been using it long enough to see any major difference in the thickness of my hair, but I am already noticing slightly less shedding whenever I wash my hair, so I’m calling that a win!" — Maddy Wilson, BEAUTYcrew’s Shopping Content Producer

"Whether I choose to air dry my hair or blow dry it, I always use this divine-smelling hair oil to finish a hair style. It creates a sleek finish, and hydrates my strands without looking oily or feeling heavy. It’s enriched with blueberry extract, argan oil, and coconut oil to improve the overall radiance of hair, and acacia extract to strengthen hair and promote growth. Even if it didn’t help me on my hair growth journey I’d still keep using it — I’ve yet to find a hair oil that my strands love as much as this one — and its luxurious fragrance doesn’t hurt its case either." — Briar Clark, BEAUTYcrew’s Beauty Editor

"I initially nabbed this solely because of the pastel packaging, but it’s become the hair treatment I see and feel the biggest difference with, particularly when I’m trying to add extra length. For me (or anyone else who has bleached and heat-styled their hair into a pretty trying tier of damage), encouraging growth and repairing breakage go hand in hand. This masque is powered by a blend of botanicals, vitamins and proteins, so it’s focused on working on everything getting in the way of growth: namely split ends and dwindling hair strength. It’s deliciously creamy in texture, only takes 5-10 minutes on the hair, and makes me feel like my hair actually has a chance of growing again." — Delaney Loane, BEAUTYcrew’s Editor

"Our scalp plays a huge part in our hair growth journey. For me, adding in a cleansing, clarifying step has made a world of difference. Sure, my clarifying shampoo — Kérastase Première Decalcifying Repairing Bain Shampoo ($65 from Adore Beauty), if you were wondering — helps keep my hair healthy, but this physical exfoliating scrub works to stimulate my scalp and promote circulation, giving my strands the best chance for growth." — Emma Allcock, BEAUTYcrew’s Content Producer
