Viviscal made the difference
People reporting immediate results with this or any vitamin make me smile. Just as Viviscal themselves say you won't begin to see real results until 4 months which is where I am now...taking the two a day as indicated. As the hair you can see is dead you must know that this product will not impact hair you can see when you begin taking it. (This means it cannot possibly thicken hair strands immediately or in a week or in a month or so on.). Yes, you can see (as I did) that hair will start to grow faster BUT it will takes months before the new hairs influenced by taking this will begin to form in follicles and start to grow. So, despite what you may read in reviews about immediate miracle results please use common sense and know that the only thing that can make your hair seem thicker after taking this for a month or less is wishful thinking!
I am at the four month point and can report NEW HAIR growth at an inch in areas that had been very, very thin. It is easy to see with the naked eye that new hair has grown in in these spots and at hairline. I have been taking a multi and extra biotin for 20 years but only taking Viviscal for 4 months now appears to have helped in this area. No, my overall hair is not thicker at this point and I wouldn't expect it to be as its dead. It's the new hair growth that is a bit thicker after 4 months. My dramatic shedding has stopped after 4 months as well.
Yes, my hair and nails started to grow faster within weeks BUT the quality in thickness did not show improvement that quickly,
Starting today I am adding Evening Primrose Oil to my regime as my research (I'm a doctoral researcher) has shown positive results for women suffering hair loss related to DHT/male pattern/hormonal hair loss/thyroid related hair loss. Again, as above I
wouldn't expect to see results of this until about the 4 month point as it will take about that long for new follicles forming to be influenced by the addition of this product to my diet.
