I’ve never been one to have voluminous, luscious hair, and let me preface this by stating I’m not here to complain. I’ve learned how to manage and tame my fine, fragile hair accepting my hair for what it is without having to retire from highlights (yes, there is a way to have healthy highlighted hair). As an expert in testing a lot of beauty products, I have tried seemingly every hair supplement to have surfaced on the market throughout the years. From pure collagen powder and prenatal pills to biotin-everything, I only recently discovered a true miracle worker.
Unfortunately, due to the numerous attempts—and fails—to find a suitable supplement, I became a bit of a skeptic when familiarizing myself with new procuts. In fact, I essentially gave up testing new products and justified it by using less hot tools and stripping myself of all bad hair habits. It’s hard to decipher why I gravitated toward trying Nutrafol supplements, considering I had truly thrown in the towel. What seemed as the last trying attempt proved to be the most effective. Serendipitous, right?
I will admit initially I did not do my due diligence when researching the product; however these hair-changing capsules came highly recommended from a colleague, so I nonchalantly took the Nutrafol Hair Wellness Evaluation which creates a customized recommendation for your hair’s needs. Founded on the mission of bringing safe and efficacious natural products to the market that solve hair issues, Nutrafol implements an integrative approach to hair wellness with natural formulations addressing a wide range of hormonal, environmental, and hereditary causes that affect hair health. “My business partners and I took almost a year of research, involving other doctors in the process, to dive deep into unhealthy hair follicles at the root and how botanicals can work to achieve healthy hair.” Dr. Sophia Kogan, the Chief Medical Officer of Nutrafol, explained. “It was especially important to understand the scientific basis to be able to bring Nutrafol and its science to western medical doctors.” Because of their attention to exactly which ingredients were doing what and the exact amount needed, they created a trusted product.
From celebrities with comparable hair to mine including Hilary Duff and Naomi Watts to Rumer Willis and Ashley Tisdale, Nutrafol has developed a devoted following simply because of the significant results.
Here’s the truth: it’s not going to happen overnight. If you’re one that opts for instantly gratifying products, this is not for you. You don’t take one capsule and wake up as Rapunzel the next day. Granted, I did notice results within the first month. Let me break the regimen down: after taking the hair wellness evaluation which assesses stress, diet, and wellness routine, Nutrafol recommends one core solution (the pills) and two targeted boosters ranging from liver support, digestive enzymes, vitamin B, etc. I was personally prescribed the Core Nutrafol Women’s Supplement, as well as the Vitamin B-Booster and Liver Support Supplement for my hair-saving remedy. Once prescribed, you take four Core capsules, two liver support capsules, and a droplet of vitamin B once a day with food. Candidly, the amount of pills is my least favorite part. To ease into the number of pills, I began incorporating the four core pills each morning into my vitamin routine.
So, what did I notice? Do I suddenly have hair down to my heels? No. But, finally, my hair has grown past my collarbone (a milestone I never foresaw) and the once dead ends are no longer broken and scrappy, but rather strong, healthy, and soft. My hair has remained fine, but much denser—meaning I now have a plethora of fine hairs. I’m currently on my third bottle of the Core supplement, comprised of 120 capsules per bottle, and I am eager to see the improvement as I remain committed to this growth plan.
I’ve teetered with the question of using hair supplements versus hair masks and oils and remain biased that supplements act as the ultimate game-changer. Sophia clarified my suspicions, “The living portion of the hair, the follicle, is a sensitive mini-organ that is impacted by everything that happens within the body. Its health is reflective of the internal environment and should be treated from within. That’s where botanicals and Nutrafol come in.”
While these supplements promote hair growth from within, I still am mindful of the other products I am using. Scroll below to see which products, in use with Nutrafol, enhance my hair health.
