Gabriella Barras, a content creator who lives in Dubai, revealed the £6 Boots buy that 'works wonders' for hair loss.
Not only this, but she also shared another product that is slightly more expensive, but is 'the best' for hair growth.
Posting on social media, the blonde beauty shared a snap of her thinning hairline in March, followed by an image of her fuller hairline just one month later.
Alongside the pictures, Gabriella said: 'This is what my hair looked like one month ago and this is what my hair looks like today.'
Gabriella then revealed: 'I got quoted 15,000 Dirhams at a hair clinic in Dubai to fix my hair problem - I started noticing that my hair was falling out, especially in my hairline, I was losing so much hair in the shower.'
But without paying the shocking hair clinic fee and splashing the cash on expensive treatments, Gabriella was able to notice fast results thanks to two high-street products, as she beamed: 'Then within four weeks, I got it down to this, without any clinical treatment.'
First things first, Gabriella expressed that Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, which is currently on offer for just £6.12 from Boots, 'worked wonders' for her hairline.
She acknowledged: 'This shampoo is game changing - I would wash my hair with this, leave it on my scalp for five minutes, let it soak in, and from the first wash of using this, I noticed a crazy difference.'
Then, Gabriella highlighted that she also uses Regaine for Men Extra Strength Scalp Foam, which contains 5% Minoxidil.
Gabriella stressed: 'This Regaine For Men is the best - every single night before I went to bed, I was dotting the Minoxidil all over my hairline.'
'I'm in shock at how well this has worked in a month' shoppers praise budget Amazon buy for curing their hair loss & it's currently on sale
Thrilled with the product, she claimed that it 'soaks in really well' and 'doesn't make your hair greasy.'
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ gabriellabarras, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 497,000 views.
Not only this, but it's also racked up 20,900 likes, 471 comments and 23,700 saves.
One person said: 'Thank you very much for your recommendations.'
Everything you need to know about hair loss
Marie Nieuwoudt, a Group Education Manager at CLOUD NINE told Fabulous everything you need to know regarding hair loss.
What are the common causes of hair loss?
Marie explained: "There are so many reasons why someone may face hair loss.
"The number one reason is usually hormonal changes or underlying health conditions (like thyroid conditions), and stress of
course also plays a big part in changes to your hair health.
"But another very common day-to-day cause is excessive damage to your hair created by mistakes in your styling routines – and this a
big one to be aware of for people who are regularly applying heat to their hair!
"It's important to know the right temperature for your hair type when using styling tools, as this is essential in reducing unintentional heat damage.
"I also see a lot of people facing hair loss resulting from hereditary conditions, which are passed down from generation to generation."
What are the best hairstyles people should try to reduce their hair loss?
According to Marie: "Less is more when it comes to hair loss! It's important to be gentle with your hair, so a low-maintenance style that limits pulling on your scalp will be your best option.
"Putting your hair up in a tight ponytail or adding hair clips can cause stress points at the roots.
"Instead, try leaving your hair down, or out.
"You're not limited in your options, but it pays to be intentional with your hair styling. Using tools which limit damage to your hair is vital.
"Discussing your concerns with a hairdresser or hair loss specialist is also a great way to find styles that suit your specific needs, whilst still making sure you look and feel your best."
How long does it take for hair loss to stop?
If you're itching to know when your hair will grow back, Marie confirmed: "Hair loss is a personal journey – and it's different for everyone, so it's very difficult to put exact timings on this process.
"Every head of hair is unique, and so too is your hair loss experience.
"As always, you can speak to a professional hairdresser or trichologist about your specific concerns and hair changes, and they'll be able to help you manage those expectations.
"I can't emphasise enough how important it is to be kind to your hair. Most people treat their hair quite roughly, and this is something you definitely want to avoid when dealing with hair loss in particular.
"Make sure you're choosing products and styling routines that you know are good for your hair, rather than causing additional damage."
Another added: 'Great results!'
A third commented: 'Yaayyy! Will definitely give these a try.'
The Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo in particular has proved very popular with shoppers and has racked up an average rating of 4.4 out of five online.
86% of reviewers would recommend the product and many even described it as the 'best shampoo'.
One shopper penned: 'Worked fantastic, I've always struggled with dandruff and it's helped a lot and it's also helping my hair in general.'
Hair loss tips
We can lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day, according to the NHS.
It is not usually something to worry about, but occasional it can be a sign of a medical concern.
These include illness, stress, cancer treatment, weight loss and iron deficiency.
The NHS advises to book an appointment with your GP to see if you can get to the cause of it.
Experts at American Academy of Dermatology Association also recommend to eat healthy, limit curling irons and only use them for special occasions.
They also recommend using a gentle shampoo, and make use of leave-in conditioners.
A second simply shared: 'Life saver as always.'
"The front part is no longer flaky which is great.. so pleased with it.'

Microdosing, using small amounts of a product, is the latest trend when it comes to boosting midlife hair.

Iran reaction | The Albanese government has called for 'de-escalation, dialogue and diplomacy', but has been criticised for a 'weak' response to US airstrikes on Iran – as almost 4,000 Australian citizens still wait to escape the Middle East. 'Who knows if they're safe?' | Australians with family in Iran are anxiously awaiting Tehran's next move after it threatened retaliation over US airstrikes on its facilities. Nicotine battle | Australia is waging a 'de facto war on nicotine' that is doomed to fail in the same way as previous prohibition-style policies, experts say, amid efforts to combat the illicit tobacco trade.

However, Iran's proxy militias across the Middle East are sending mixed signals about their willingness to strike US targets.

But a new generation of readers are finding a way to combine both approaches by reviving the art and romance of marginalia, by transforming their books and reading experiences into #aesthetic artefacts.
