INGE VAN LOTRINGEN: I’m a 55-year-old magnificence professional, listed below are the three anti-ageing shampoos that actually will assist your hair loss
Q I’ve recently moved to a hard water area and I’m now suffering from hair loss. What can I do to stop this?
A While heavy metals, minerals and pollutants in hard water can contribute to brittleness and even hair fall, it’s unlikely that this alone is the cause of your loss.
The menopause affects the fullness and condition of hair, but you can help by eating plenty of protein and green leafy veg.
You can also ask your GP to test your ferritin (iron storage) levels to see if you might need to supplement iron, which is vital for hair health.

I swear by Living Proof Clarifying Detox Shampoo, £31 (livingproof.co.uk); it nukes both product and hard water build-up and leaves hair light and soft without stripping or drying it.
