Do they really work? Hair, Skin & Nails vitamins

Hair, Skin & Nails vitamins...

We all know that vitamins are imperial to our health. Whether we find them in the foods we eat or in the capsules we take, it is important to include them in our daily nutrition. 

So, let's get down to the real nitty gritty," do vitamins for hair, skin and nails really work? I will tell you from experience that they DO! I began to notice the distress signs. Nail brittleness and poor nail growth were symptoms of my vitamin deficiency.

Weeks would go by and my nails would not grow out. Same goes for my hair. It was not growing out as usual. So I decided to take action and began taking my HSN vitamins daily. Within a week or two I noticed the drastic improvements in my nails. For once, they  felt stronger and longer .

The HSN vitamins I take contain:

• Natural B Complex
• Biotin
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin E
• Protein
• Grape seed extract
• Horsetail extract
• Glycine
• Collagen

As for the condition of my hair goes...

Well let's just say that now I'm thinking twice about taking my vitamins! Why? Well, before I started taking my HSN vitamins, it would take me 3-4 months to get my routine root touch up. Now,2 months pass by and I find myself at the hair salon with conspicuous black roots! Root touch up's can be pretty pricey you know! lol jk

On a more serious note, taking HSN vitamins or any type of multivitamin specifically for hair,skin and nails has been effective for many individuals such as myself who lack vitamins in their daily nutrition.  Take action by becoming proactive for a much more healthier you. Try to find out more about health supplements by talking to your health care provider.

A little late, but i don't care! I finally did it!

TLC for your Hair: One n Only Argan Oil

Rating: ★★★★★  5 out of 5

Product Review:

1. Terrific aroma. (soft scent)
2. Leaves hair silky smooths, adds shine and eliminates frizz.
3. A little goes a long way, which means more bang for your buck!

I purchased this product while browsing through the isles of  Sally's Beauty Supply Store for about $8. 

You can say bye-bye to frizzies!

I have to say the buzz on this product is true. 


Was it a waste? It most certainly was not! I got hooked! 
How I apply it, is after I  have washed my hair, I get a drop or two on my palm and distribute it to my hair.

PS. SOMETHING I CAME ACROSS WHILE


 FLIPPING THROUGH A MAGAZINE!

TLC for your Hair: One n Only Argan Oil Restorative Mask

Product Review

My rating: ★★★★ 4 out of 4

Pro's:

1. Definitely Moisturizes your hair like CRAZY!
2. Smells incredibly AMAZING!
3. Leaves your hair soft & silky smooth.
4. The  protein & keratin in this product rebuilds the strength of your hair(definite plus)

Con's:

1. Price of product $9.99 (seemed a little pricey @ first, but is was worth every penny)
   

I was compelled to give this product a try, after having a little chat with one of the staff member's @ Sally's beauty supply store. It was clear to me that she was the type of person that experimented A LOT with her hair and managed to still have some hair left. lol. ( Bad joke) Definitely an ideal person to ask what product to use for chemically damaged hair.

Obviously, it's no surprise, I am a blonde by choice. For over 2 1/2 years. Chemical damage, hair breakage and dry split ends are no strangers to me ...

At this point in my life, I'll give anything a try, just to bring my hair back to life!!!!!

 I had a feeling I wouldn't go wrong with this restorative mask , I was already in love with the Argan oil product they have out; which reminds me, I am completely out of! (note to self) 

Well to say the least, I walked out of Sally's very optimistic & satisfied!

Application

The directions read like so: "After shampooing, apply a generous amount of Restorative Hair Mask and let it penetrate for 7-10 minutes. Then, rinse it out. Does not require heat."

I took a slightly diff. approach to the application process!

I applied it before showering for 15 mins. Prior to applying the restorative mask, I damped my hair with water. FYI, the protein & keratin in it makes your hair feel a little on the stiff side. Don't be frighten, it's suppose to feel like that!

TLC for your Hair: Product review L'oreal Nature's Therapy Cond.

Product Review: L'oreal Nature's Therapy Conditioner! ★★★★

Are you in the market for a new hair conditioner? Is your old one kinda ehhh?! I know what you mean, I was the same way too. Until, a co-worker of mine, years ago recommended me this conditioner. Its about $8-12 at Sally's Beauty Supply. However, they do have those $1.49-2 little packets for skeptics! So if you are like me, & you rather spend the dollar than the 10-12, GO FOR IT! But believe me, your hair is going to be asking you to go back to get the full jar! I love it, my mother and I have been using this conditioner for years and just love the consistency , the smell and most importantly the results. Leaves your hair super soft, its ridiculous! It detangle's, adds shine and leaves your hair more manageable. Give it a try & let me know what you think!

TLC for your Hair: Hask Placenta No rinse

Product Review: Hask Placenta No rinse Hair Repair Treatment
Rating: ★★★★ 4 out of 4
If you ever seen this product while roaming through the isles in Wal-Mart and wondered if it really worked, well then rest assured , it does!
So how does it work?
Like many other leave-in hair treatments, you apply it right after shampooing your hair. What I regularly do is right after I've towel dried my hair, I pour half of the product into my hair ( half because I don't have much hair) and massage thoroughly.
Don't worry, it smells great and it does leave your hair soft. I would recommend applying Argan Oil right after the Hask Placenta treatment. You'll noticed the results as your hair air dries!
