Ladies i have tested out these new vitamins to grow out my hair and let me tell you...I LOVE ITTTT!! it is amazing and affordable! i purchased mine at walgreens too so its easy to find.
I have to state the obvious... nothing you can take will make your hair grow longer faster any sooner than a healthy and nutritional diet. A multi-vitamin WILL help supplement your body which does help hair (and nails) but it's not overnight, it won't happen within a few days or weeks. It will still take time so it's not an overnight miracle. Also TOO much can lead to an overdose which is why I use a disclaimer that people should see a doctor first before taking anything.
Since you mentioned it's from Walgreens I went to look for the product and found it's called "Applied Nutrition Longer Stronger Hair & Nails Dietary Supplement Soft-Gels".
This product contains a warning on the Walgreens website (you may want to include it on your blog):
"Contains: Soy Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Do not exceed recommended daily intake. Not intended for use by persons under 18 years of age. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. (State of California Prop 65) This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm."
The actual ingredients are:
Gelatin, Purified Water, Glycerin, Soy Lecithin, Beeswax, Titanium Dioxide, Caramel Color, Silicon Dioxide, Red Cabbage Juice
If you're a vegan or vegetarian skip this because it contains gelatin and beeswax.
Also, don't take with milk (milk actually blocks some vitamins from being absorbed by the body) and take with something to eat. Never take vitamins on an empty stomach (leads to that nasty feeling in the tummy).
Amanda - how long did it take for your hair to grow between the before and after picture?
I need mine to grow at least like your after picture. Because my hair is actually just like your before picture. And I'm sick and tired of short. Long would be nice again..
