When it comes to trying the latest wellness craze or avant-garde beauty trend, Gwyneth Paltrow has always been the ultimate poster girl.
The Goop founder has opened up about her latest fixation – and it's all about combating hair loss. The 52-year-old actress revealed she’s been battling persistent hair loss for some time, which has resulted in her experimenting with numerous treatments, including scalp injections, in search of a solution.

However, Gwyneth recently discovered the ultimate treatment that involves a device that uses acoustic sound waves and air pressure to stimulate hair growth. "It was completely painless. Honestly, I think my hair's already feeling a bit fuller," she admitted.

Gwyneth has been a pioneer in the beauty sphere since founding her wellness company Goop in September 2008.
Gwyneth's wellness routine

"I'm getting back into eating sourdough bread, and some cheese – there, I said it," she explained. "A little pasta after being strict with it for so long."
"I went into hardcore macrobiotics for a certain time. That was an interesting chapter where I got kind of obsessed with eating very, very healthily," she added.
In an interview with Vogue in 2023, Gwyneth shared her morning routine. "The first thing I do is get up. I do Ayurvedic oil pulling and tongue scraping, and then I brush my teeth. After that, I meditate with my husband," she said.

"It’s funny, I used to get facials regularly, especially when I lived in London, with Anastasia Achilleos, but I haven’t seen her since before the Covid-19 pandemic," she explained.
"I really love a facial massage, [lymphatic] drainage and working the muscles, as opposed to lasers. I’m a little freaked out about using lasers on the face, and I’ve seen weird results on certain people. It feels risky."
She continued: "Once in a while, I’ll do a facial with red light for inflammation or something like that. We also sell the Lyma laser at Goop – it’s really good and gentle, so I’ll do that."
