She kept informal salon notes from hundreds of women who felt their usual supplements, oils, and thickening shampoos were no longer giving them the look they wanted. After reviewing the patterns with a qualified scalp-care professional, she helped create a simple two-step cosmetic routine now being used by women across Australia.

Margot Hayes has been doing women’s hair in Melbourne’s east for more than two decades.

Over the years, she noticed that many of her clients in their forties, fifties, and sixties were asking similar questions about how their hair looked and felt. Some said their hair felt different from how it used to. Others said their regular products did not seem to suit them in the same way anymore.

One conversation stayed with her. A client in her mid-fifties looked in the salon mirror after a blow-dry and said quietl

“I just don’t feel like my hair sits the way it used to.”

Margot did not treat that comment as a medical issue. She was a hairdresser, not a doctor. But as a stylist, she understood how personal hair can feel and how many women want a routine that feels appropriate for their stage of life.

The Salon Notes

Over time, those notes became a collection of everyday salon observations from women over forty. They were not clinical research, and they were not used to diagnose or treat any condition. They simply helped Margot notice that many women wanted a simple cosmetic scalp-care routine that felt more aligned with midlife hair-care needs.

Many clients had tried shampoos, conditioners, supplements, or other beauty products before. Some liked parts of those routines, while others felt they were still looking for something simple and topical that could fit into their normal styling routine.

Margot wanted help thinking through the scalp-care side of the idea, so she spoke with Hannah Marsh, a qualified trichologist in Carlton.
​

A Conversation with a Trichologist

Hannah Marsh is a trichologist, which means she works professionally with hair and scalp concerns. Trichologists in Australia are not medical doctors, do not prescribe medicine, and should not replace advice from a GP or dermatologist.

When Margot shared her salon observations, Hannah agreed that many women in midlife are interested in gentle scalp-care routines that support how their hair looks and feels. Together, they focused on a simple brief:

Create a topical cosmetic spray that is easy to use daily, works alongside a normal hair-care routine, and is designed to support the appearance of healthy-looking, fuller-looking hair.

Creating HeloGrow Hair Care Spray

After a period of product development and adjustment, the routine launched as HaloGrow Hair Care Spray — a daily topical cosmetic spray designed for women who want to support the appearance and feel of their hair as part of a regular scalp-care routine.

HaloGrow is applied directly to the scalp and used as part of a normal hair-care routine. It does not replace shampoo, conditioner, colour treatments, or medical advice.

What’s Inside HaloGrow

HaloGrow combines botanical extracts and cosmetic hair-care ingredients commonly used in topical personal-care formulations. The full ingredient list should be reviewed on the product page before purchase, especially by anyone with sensitivities or allergies.

HeloGrow is a cosmetic product. The ingredient descriptions above are not medical claims and should not be read as claims that the product treats hair loss, alopecia, hormonal changes, or any other medical condition.

How Women Typically Use It

Margot recommends applying HaloGrow Hair Care Spray once a day, directly to the scalp, on slightly damp or dry hair. A light scalp massage can help distribute the product evenly.

Some customers have shared that, with consistent use, their hair felt or looked better to them over time. These are individual experiences only. Results are not guaranteed and are not intended to represent typical results.

HeloGrow was first shared with a small number of salon clients who were interested in trying a simple topical scalp-care routine. As more women asked about it, Margot and Hannah made the product available online for customers across Australia.

Margot still works in the salon and says those everyday conversations continue to shape how she talks about the product.

MARGOT'S MESSAGE TO YOU

When asked why she kept paying attention to these conversations for so many years, Margot says the answer is simple.

“A lot of women told me they wanted something that felt made for their stage of life. They were not asking for a miracle. They wanted a routine that was gentle, practical, and easy to use.”

“That is why we made HaloGrow — to give women a cosmetic scalp-care option that fits into daily life.”
