My immune system attack left me with a bald patch and I have encountered many serums and oils – but this Philip Kingsley product worked a treat
Admitting to hair loss can be a tough pill to swallow, especially for women. After keeping it under wraps for a while, I had to seek help for a bald patch on my head and it turned out a combination of stress and poor sleep habits was the culprit.
But then I stumbled upon a spray that aided in regrowth – the Philip Kingsley Tricho Pro Volumising Protein Spray – which worked wonders on my hair in just three months. Unfortunately, this bottled miracle is no longer available as the haircare brand has launched a new Density range aimed at tackling hair loss and thinning.
The brand has introduced the Density Thickening Protein Spray, which does the same job, if not better. This new addition to the Philip Kingsley family, priced at £40, is powered by the same key protein peptides and styling polymers, along with the moisturising ingredient Panthenol for long-lasting hydration.

The award-winning spray now comes packed with volumising yet hydrating Pea Peptides, giving fine hair a much-needed lift and providing smoothing benefits. It also includes an innovative hair care technology known as Hyper-Branched Polymers, delivering lasting volume whilst improving the health of the strands.
People with topical nut allergies are advised against using certain hair products with ‘hydrolyzed almond seedcake’. Nevertheless, for those aiming to curb hair fall, the Kérastase Genesis Defense Thermique Treatment promises to lock in moisture and fend off frizz, now at a discounted price of £26.95 on Amazon.
Additionally, if a serum is more your style, the UKLash Hair Growth Serum priced at £40 has been noted to help stimulate hair growth.
The Density Thickening Protein Spray now offers heat protection of up to 230 degrees, allowing you to style your hair with heat without any worries.
When I first discovered a bald patch at the back of my head, I was filled with panic and embarrassment, too ashamed to share it with anyone. A trichologist diagnosed me with alopecia areata, a condition caused by an immune system attack.
The specialist informed me that my hair would naturally regrow once my stress levels returned to normal. To fast track the recovery process, I spritzed the Protein Spray on my damp hair’s mid-lengths and ends every time I washed it and also reminded myself not to touch the affected area too much.
I was also advised to reduce stress and improve my sleep quality. So, I stopped working night shifts and dedicated more time to self-care. Within three months, I noticed a significant transformation in my hair. Fine, baby hairs started to grow back, gradually reducing the size of the bald patch.
The protein spray isn’t a quick fix; it requires patience and consistent use. Philip Kingsley claims that it can increase hair volume by 25% after just one use when combined with Density Thickening Shampoo, Density Thickening Conditioner, and Density Thickening Protein Spray. The shampoo and conditioner duo is currently on offer and reduced to £54.56.
I prefer using a spray over a serum as it doesn’t leave my scalp feeling sticky with greasy residue. However, the downside is that I used up the bottle quite quickly, and it doesn’t come in travel size.
I’ve been using the new Density Thickening Protein Spray to maintain my hair’s health, and now my locks are thick, shiny, and free from split ends.
