Biotin injections aim to strengthen and promote hair growth, adding extra of the B vitamin to the body – with Gemma taking the opportunity to explain to her 2.2m followers why she was opting for the treatment.
‘I’m going to have the biotin injection. I mean, I do have naturally thick hair – and yes I’ve got extensions in at the minute – but my own hair is very thick,’ she explained.
Continuing: ‘But where I’m obviously blonder now for the summer, I’m going to have the biotin and it’s going to promote the hair growth.’

Detailing more intimate details of the treatment, she explained: ‘I am actually having the injection in the buttocks. Just because I don’t feel it there, it’s no pain, and it gets straight into the bloodstream really quick.’
After the treatment, Gemma posted an adorable video of her ‘new addition’, as a tiny white kitten graced the camera.
Introducing the pet to her social media, the reality star wrote: ‘Meet the new addition to the family’.

But that’s not the only new addition she’s planning to welcome, as the treatment comes after she revealed that she has decided to quiz showbiz so she can work on getting pregnant with her fiancé Rami Hawah.
The TOWIE star claimed that her jam-packed schedule sees her working every single day until August 1, at which point she will hit the bedroom with her partner, 48.
She certainly hasn’t kept her baby plans quiet, previously telling MailOnline: ‘I definitely think that the universe will come through with a child for me, definitely.’
Her broodiness follows a recent collaboration with condom and lubricant brand Durex, but the TV personality admits she’ll have scant use for the products beyond July.

She told The Sun: ‘We are getting to that point where we need to concentrate on having a baby.
‘I really want to just rest after August and spend time with Rami and make the baby. I’ve given myself a six month window.
‘I’ve got to stop at some point to try and have this baby. Otherwise it will be never ending. But who knows, when I fall pregnant I might let the cameras in again.’
The former Dancing On Ice contestant went on to confess her step-son Tristan, three, has been begging for a brother.

Gemma recently revealed that she and the car mechanic don’t know if he will ‘ever regain sight in his eye’ after a ‘serious work accident’.
The update comes after the reality star shared news of the accident back in April, explaining that her husband-to-be needed an operation.
But despite the uncertainty surrounding the injury, she has assured Rami that she will love him no matter the outcome in an emotional post.
Since the incident, which she dubbed as ‘upsetting’, ‘scary’ and ‘worrying’ at the time – Gemma has been looking after Rami as he recovers.
And talking to Metro recently, Gemma explained: ‘He’s really shaken up – he’s been in excruciating pain as he had his operation last week.
‘We hope that he’s going to get the sight back in his eye, but I did reassure him that if he went blind or if he was going to lose his eye, that I’m still going to be with him because you don’t think about all those things.’
Gemma added that the operation has resulted in his eye ‘drooping down’, meaning it has changed aesthetically.
Standing by her man, she continued: ‘But I said don’t worry, I love him with an eye, without an eye, whether or not he gets his sight back. So there’s been a lot going on emotionally as well, but we make sure to support one another.’
