Hey there everyone! As I have been searching through videos
and blogs, I have seen many people, with the goal of growth, doing biotin
challenges. I have seen numerous brands of vitamins that girls have been using
(links below for different brands). Since my ultimate goal outside of healthy
hair is growth, I have decided to see what a vitamin could do for my hair as
well. After doing research and looking
at many reviews and ingredients I have decided on the SpringValley Hair Skin & Nails vitamin. I purchased this bottle at
Walmart. Out of all of the vitamins that I looked up, this was one of the
inexpensive ones. If there is one thing you will learn about me, you will learn
that I love to save money! J
I have been using this vitamin for about 3 days now (in my own regimin) and I
will continue to use it for 90 days! I am very curious to find out how or if
these vitamins will affect the health of my hair and its growth. From what I
have learned, if your hair grows when a vitamin is taken, that must mean you
may have been lacking certain vitamins. Well we shall see! I have listed the
ingredients of the Hair Skin & nails pill below. The bottle recommends 3
pills per day, however, I do not want to shock my body so I am starting off with
one pill per day for the first week then I will bump it to two pills a day and
eventually go to the full dose. Also as a side note, I also recommend that you
either run this by your doctor or have a basicmetabolic panel done so that you know what you may be deficient in.

PLEASE NOTE!!!!!
Most any multi vitamin will help with overall health but we
all need to make sure that we avoid
trends as far as using mass doses of supplements that are intended for other
purposes. I have heard of people getting major breakouts and or health problems
for the sake of attempting to find a magic growth pill when they don't exist.
Ultimately we do need to remember that eating well, drinking
lots and lots of water, and good hair handling habits will eventually produce
results. We all have to play around until we find a system that makes our hair
say, "ahhhh, that quenched my thirst!"
Since your hair is already growing, you need retention. So
if you choose to do a supplement challenge use the extra growth as a tool to
figure out your system of how you can retain all of the growth! Chances are,
you are losing hair as fast as you are growing it and not seeing any progress
but you can fix it.
