4.8 ★★★★★
Overall rating · Based on customer feedback

We stock Glowwa Hair Food at our hair salon in Falkland, Fife, and we recommend it to clients every single week. We've watched the results in real-time — women coming back after 12 weeks with noticeably thicker, stronger hair, and men whose temples are looking less bare than when they first walked through the door.

This review is our honest take. We're not paid by Glowwa to say nice things (we buy the stock, we sell it on). We're sharing what we genuinely see working — and what you should know before you buy.

What Is Glowwa Hair Food?

Glowwa Hair Food is a range of daily hair supplement capsules, designed to tackle hair thinning and loss from the inside out. Rather than relying on topical treatments (serums, shampoos) that sit on the surface, Glowwa works at the cellular level — delivering the vitamins, minerals, and plant extracts that hair follicles need to produce strong, dense hair.

The brand was founded by a team of hair experts and nutritionists and has won multiple beauty industry awards. The range now includes four distinct formulas:

  • Hair Food Original — for all adults experiencing hair thinning
  • Hair Food MENO™ — specifically for women in peri-menopause or menopause
  • Hair Food MENS™ — targeting male pattern hair loss and DHT
  • Collagen Creamer™ — a collagen-boosting powder to support hair, skin and nails

Key Ingredients — What's Inside and Why It Matters

The quality of a hair supplement lives or dies by its ingredient list. Here are the standout ingredients in Glowwa Hair Food Original and why they work:

Biotin (Vitamin B7)

The cornerstone of hair health — essential for keratin production, the structural protein that makes up every strand of hair. Low biotin is one of the most common causes of brittle, thinning hair.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)

A natural sulphur compound that extends the hair's active growth phase (anagen). Clinical studies show it can increase hair length and reduce shedding within 16 weeks.

Zinc

Regulates the oil glands around follicles and helps repair tissue damage. Zinc deficiency is directly linked to hair loss, and supplementing can reverse this pattern.

Vitamin D3

Plays a key role in creating new follicles and is thought to help dormant follicles become active again. Studies link low Vitamin D with hair loss in both men and women.

Iron (as Ferrous Bisglycinate)

Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in women and a leading cause of diffuse hair shedding. The bisglycinate form is gentler on the stomach than standard iron supplements.

Saw Palmetto & Plant Sterols

Natural DHT blockers — DHT is the hormone responsible for shrinking follicles in pattern hair loss. Particularly important in the MENO™ and MENS™ formulas.

💡 Stockist's Note: Many clients ask us if they can just take a standard supermarket biotin tablet instead. While biotin is important, the reason Glowwa works so well is the combination of nutrients working together. Biotin alone won't address iron deficiency, DHT production, or growth-phase extension. The full formula is what makes the difference.

What Happens Month by Month?

Hair grows approximately 1–1.5 cm per month. Because each hair follicle has its own growth cycle, supplements take time to show visible results. Based on what we see from customers in our salon, here is a realistic timeline:

  • Week
    1–2

    The Foundation Phase

    Your body starts absorbing the nutrients. You won't see hair changes yet, but internally the follicle environment is improving. Some customers report better energy and nail growth in this first fortnight — these are signs the supplement is being absorbed well.

  • Month
    1

    Reduced Shedding Begins

    This is the most common first change our customers notice: less hair in the shower plughole and on the hairbrush. The supplement is beginning to normalise the hair cycle. You may also notice existing hair feels slightly stronger and less prone to breakage.

  • Month
    2–3

    New Growth Appears

    The exciting phase. Customers start noticing baby hairs at the hairline and temples — these are dormant follicles waking up. The parting looks slightly less wide. This is the stage where we typically take "after" photos in the salon for comparison.

  • Month
    4–6

    Visible Thickness and Density

    By month 4–6, the new growth is long enough to be clearly visible, and overall hair density has measurably improved. The improvement continues as long as supplementation continues. This is why we always recommend the 3-month or 6-month supply for the best results and the best price-per-day.

  • 6+
    Months

    Long-Term Maintenance

    Many customers continue taking Glowwa Hair Food indefinitely as part of their daily routine — treating it like a multivitamin for their hair. The benefits are maintained and, in some cases, continue to improve. Hair loss often returns within a few months of stopping, particularly in cases of hormonal or pattern hair loss.

"I noticed less hair falling in the shower after about three weeks. By month two, I had little fluffy hairs appearing all around my hairline. I honestly couldn't believe it."

Which Glowwa Product Is Right for You?

Choosing the right formula is important. Here's a quick comparison of the full range:

Product Best For DHT Blocker Menopause Support Collagen 1-Month Price
Hair Food Original All adults, general thinning £34.99
Hair Food MENO™ Women 40+, menopause hair loss £39.99
Hair Food MENS™ Men, male pattern baldness ✓✓ £44.99
Collagen Creamer™ Hair, skin & nails boost ✓✓ £34.99 (2 weeks)

Can you combine products? Yes — many customers take Hair Food Original or MENO™ alongside the Collagen Creamer™ for a more comprehensive approach targeting both hair growth and skin/nail health. If you're unsure, pop into the salon or drop us a message and we'll help you choose.

Value for Money — Is Glowwa Worth the Price?

At £34.99 for a 1-month supply, Glowwa is at the premium end of the hair supplement market. Here's how to think about the cost:

  • 1 Month Supply: £34.99 (£1.17/day)
  • 3 Month Supply: £94.47 — saves ~£10 vs. buying monthly
  • 6 Month Supply: £189.98 — best value, saves £20+

Compare that to the alternatives:

  • A single salon hair treatment: £40–80, no internal benefit
  • A prescription DHT blocker (Finasteride): ~£20/month but prescription-only, side effects in men
  • Hair transplant surgery: £3,000–£15,000

For a supplement with genuine clinical backing and multiple award wins, we think the price is justified — especially if you commit to at least 3 months to give the formula time to work.

Our Verdict — 4.8 / 5

Glowwa Hair Food is one of the most effective hair supplement ranges we have come across. The ingredient quality is excellent, the clinical evidence is genuine, and — most importantly — we see it working on real customers in our salon every week. If you are experiencing hair thinning and want a natural, non-prescription option that actually works, this is our top recommendation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Glowwa Hair Food take to work?

Most customers notice reduced shedding within 4–6 weeks. Visible new growth typically appears at around 8–12 weeks. Full density improvements are most noticeable at 4–6 months of consistent daily use.

Does Glowwa Hair Food really work?

Based on both the clinical data and the real results we see in our salon, yes — for the vast majority of people experiencing nutritional, stress-related, or hormonal hair thinning. It is not a cure for conditions like alopecia areata, but for the most common causes of hair loss, it is highly effective.

Are there any side effects?

Glowwa uses natural, food-derived ingredients and is generally very well tolerated. A small number of people experience mild digestive sensitivity when first starting — taking the capsules with food resolves this. Always consult your GP if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking prescribed medication.

What is the difference between Hair Food and MENO™?

Hair Food Original is for all adults. MENO™ is specifically formulated for women in peri-menopause and menopause, with an enhanced DHT-blocking complex and additional nutrients targeted at hormonally-driven hair loss. If you are in your 40s or 50s and experiencing hair changes alongside other menopausal symptoms, MENO™ is the better choice.
