Following on from her battle with breast cancer, Strictly Come Dancing pro Amy Dowden MBE has shared a product she’s been loving for helping her hair get back to feeling ‘healthy and full’
This year’s full Strictly Come Dancing line-up has now been announced, and another star who’ll be back at the ballroom this year is professional dancer Amy Dowden. And following on from her battle with breast cancer two years ago, the 35 year old has shared one beauty product she’s been using recently to help her to look and feel her best.
In a sponsored Instagram post, Amy shows off impressed hair growth following on from her chemotherapy treatment, with shoulder-length blonde hair that Amy says she’s “very proud to say is all [her] own”. Describing how “thick and full it’s feeling”, Amy credits this to using a particular hair growth serum: UKLASH UKHAIR Hair Growth Serum.

As August marks Hair Loss Awareness Month, Amy has shared how she uses this serum and how it has “helped boost [her] confidence massively”. Explaining that “it only takes five seconds of my day”, in the clip Amy demonstrates how she applies one or two drops of the serum to her scalp, also using the UKHAIR Scalp Massager, which helps to boost circulation
“After losing my hair, I just wanted to protect and look after my hair as much as I possibly can…and my hair has never felt so healthy,” Amy goes on to say, explaining how she’s desperate to eventually get her long hair back.
A 50ml bottle of UKHAIR Hair Growth Serum costs £40 for a one-time purchase, or you can subscribe and save and get it for £32 every 30, 60 or 90 days.
Lightweight and non-greasy, this serum contains key ingredient AnaGain™, along with phytic acid and turmeric to stimulate hair growth at the scalp, while also preventing the hair follicle from breaking, ultimately resulting in longer, healthier and stronger hair.
While hair loss and hair thinning can be caused by a number of reasons, and regrowth can be subjective, lots of customers have reported excellent results from using this serum, with hundreds of five-star reviews and impressive before-and-after photos on the UKLASH website.
“I lost my hair during chemo. I started using the hair serum as soon as I got the all clear,” one happy customer explained. “In 5 weeks my hair had thickened up beautifully as it was quite a lot thinner on the top, but now it’s thick all over. I’m looking forward to seeing my hair grow over the coming months and will continue to use the serum.”
“I’ve tried everything. Gummies, rosemary oil, different shampoos, different brushes, not washing as much, different hair dressers etc etc. I had thin hair before my pregnancy but even worse after. It just didn’t grow back,” another customer explained. “Now here I am after 3 months of using the serum every other day, I [have] double the amount of my hair, it grew ever so long, is healthy, thick and shiny. I love it and can’t wait to see what it’ll look like in a year’s time.”
It’s worth noting here that we recommend always consulting your doctor if you’re experiencing sever hair loss, and if you’re going through – or have recently gone through – a serious illness such as cancer, do check with a medical professional before using or taking any new product.
