If your hair has started to feel a little different lately, you’re not imagining it.


You might be noticing more shedding, less volume, or that your hair just doesn’t feel as strong or healthy as it used to. It’s something we’re seeing more and more in the salon, and it can feel frustrating when your usual routine is no longer giving you the same results.



The important thing to know is, there’s usually a reason behind it.

Why hair changes

Hair doesn’t just change randomly. It’s often linked to what’s going on underneath.


Things like stress, hormones, diet, sleep and general health all play a part in how your hair grows and behaves.


You might notice changes during:

  • Busy or stressful periods
  • After pregnancy
  • Around peri-menopause or menopause
  • Times when your routine or health has shifted

Sometimes, no matter what we do on the outside, the hair just needs more support from within.

A simple way to think about it

We often explain it like this in the salon.


Think of your hair like grass. You can water it and look after it on the surface, but if the soil underneath isn’t right, it won’t grow as well as it could.


Your hair works in a similar way.


We can do everything on the outside, but if it’s not supported underneath, it can only do so much.

So what actually helps

The best results come from taking a more complete approach to hair care.


At Salon Cabelo, we focus on:

  • Looking after the condition of your hair in salon
  • Recommending the right products for home
  • And where needed, supporting the hair from within


This is where something like GLOWWA can make a real difference.

What is GLOWWA

GLOWWA is a supplement designed to support your hair from within.


It works by helping to improve the conditions your hair grows in, supporting strength, condition and overall hair health over time.



It’s not about quick fixes or instant results. It’s about giving your hair what it needs to grow properly.

What results to expect

Healthy hair takes time.


Most people begin to notice changes from around 12 weeks, with continued improvement the longer they stay consistent.



We’ve already been seeing some really nice results in the salon, especially for guests experiencing thinning, shedding, or changes linked to hormones.

Is it right for you

GLOWWA may be helpful if you’ve noticed:

  • Increased shedding
  • Thinner or finer feeling hair
  • Hair that feels weaker or lacks condition
  • Changes linked to stress or hormones


If you’re unsure, we’ll always guide you honestly based on your hair and what you need.

A gentle approach

We never believe in pushing products for the sake of it.


If it’s right for you, we’ll recommend it. If not, we’ll talk you through other ways to support your hair.



It’s always about finding the right solution for you.

Frequently asked questions

  • How long does it take to see results?

    Hair takes time to respond. Most people start to notice changes from around 12 weeks, with continued improvement over time.

  • Will it work for everyone?

    Hair changes for lots of different reasons, so results can vary. We’ll always guide you honestly on whether it’s right for you.

  • Do I still need salon treatments?

    Yes. Looking after your hair on the outside is just as important. GLOWWA works alongside what we do in salon, not instead of it.

  • Is it a quick fix?

    No, and that’s actually why it works. It’s about supporting your hair properly over time, rather than a short-term solution.

  • Is it safe to take?

    It’s always best to check with your GP if you’re pregnant, on medication, or have any health concerns before starting any supplement.

  • How do I know if it’s right for me?

    The best thing to do is chat to us. We’ll look at your hair and talk you through what’s going on, then recommend what feels right for you.


If you’ve noticed changes in your hair and you’re not quite sure why, you’re always welcome to chat to us.


You can ask us about GLOWWA at your next appointment, or simply get in touch and we’ll happily talk it through with you.


Because healthy hair is not just about how it looks, it’s about how it feels every day after.
