Well, my hair grows terribly slow, and I have noticed a HUGE difference since taking these. My hair and nails both are growing faster, my nails look great - nice and shiny and strong. I have also noticed that the hair on my legs grows faster, like the other posters mentioned.

How much a month of new growth?

Mine doesn't grow very fast.

I would say probably at least an inch in the last month - and I am not exaggerating!

My hair normally grows really slow. I was trying to grow it out after a bad cut, and it was taking forever. Finally, it is really growing now. I would say that it took a good month-2 months or so of taking the hair pills every day before I saw results. I got my hair cut off an inch and a half at the beginning of December.

Normally, one month would hardly be any growth for me, but since the beginning of December, it's grown at least an inch, probably a little more, so now it's longer than when I got it cut! I take 1 in the AM and 1 in the PM along with 2 "Hair, Skin, and Nails" vitamins that I also got at Wal-Mart. I don't know if it's one, the other, or both that are doing it, but it really works, in my opinion.

I have long hair, but like another member said my hair has a little bit of damage from highlighting. I am dying my hair all back to one color so hopefully if I take these everything will be good and perfect again.

Do you only have one process? Like, only highlighting done? Cause if that is the case, take the vitamins (They can't hurt) and try Mendex (It pretty much STOPS breakage and makes your hair really soft and shiny), or Aphogee Treatment. Smells bad, but it works SO WELL. The Mexdex is less messy, easier to do though and works pretty damn well. I didn't notice any breakage after using it. I'd use it every week to every other week (Make sure to either get one of those self heating caps, OR get a hood dryer) and sit under it for 10-20 minutes.

If you have fairly otherwise healthy hair besides the highlighting, It's 'reversable'. Unlike my HORRID double processing incident. I'm going to be in the process of growing out my natural, curly hair.

Ooo, I might add some cheap regular vitamins, or some other hair, skin, nails vitamins to the Hair ones.

So even if I don't see results the first month, it takes awhile? I can live with that :)

2 a day though.

Hey MulattoKitten.....

What is the Mendex and Aphogee stuff your talking about? Where can I get it and is it expensive?

just wondering! I am a mad tanner, highlighter and straightenener girl!! My hair is in awful shape!

I have been taking the pills for 3 months now and my hair grows about 1 inch or more a month, however the breakage isn't letting up!

Any advice anyone?

hmm. I don't have a lot of breakage, but I tend to get a lot of tangles after I dye my hair. not shampooing every day helps, as does conditioning on the days when I don't shampoo, and occasionally using Redken products that you keep in your hair for fifteen minutes to deep condition also help. But that may not pertain to your situation. do you braid your hair before you sleep? OH--and something that does help, if you towel dry your hair, don't be too rough. you should just be patting the hair and squeezing, not making the hair scrape against each other because that breaks down the strand and increases breakage.

Oooooh! Thank you so much for those product rec's I'm always on the lookout for something new to try! I do get highlights, and that is it. For a while I was doing the highlight/lowlight thing, but now I am back to just highlights.

I have heard of Aphogee before, but not Mendex. Where would I be able to find it? I will google it too and see if I can find somewhere that sells it online.

Thanks again for the tips! :)

I buy it from Sally Beauty Supply. Some "black" (You know, those Korean hair shops) hair stores carry Apohgee (Spelling...rarw).

I buy Mendex in these $1.59 packets which is one treatment. So, you can pretty much do one every week, and spend less than 8 dollars. I honestly think it's easier, and you get the same results as Aphogee. All you do is wash your hair, condition (if you condition), then rinse. While it's still damp, work Mendex through it, get under the dryer OR get one of those self heating caps (What I use, I hate dryers..especially the ones you sit under!) and keep it on for like, 30 minutes (Directions say 10, but I do it for 30, make sure it really penetrates my strands). I think it works well, and it's cheap! But, always make sure to condition after you wash, and wash with quality products (Humectress is a good quality one!)

Aphogee has a WEIRD ASS smell to it. I can't even explain it. Not bad, just weird. And sometimes it burns a little. Like, itch burn, not chemical burn but never all over, just on certain places). You put it on your hair, comb it through, get under a dryer until hair is TOTALLY dry. It gets REALLY hard in your hair, so you can't comb it, then you rinse it, and style like usual. It rebuilds the hair structure for 6 weeks, and really does help with breakage the key is to do it about once to twice every month. It's kind of expensive. You can get like, a big bottle for 20 bucks. It is worth it, but really only if you can sit under a dryer. Otherwise, I'd go with Mendex.

Also, I notice sleeping with a silk pillowcase and scarf really seems to help my hair out with breakage.

Okay. My leg hair is out of control now. A few hours after I shave, I get stubble. My legs have a 5 o'clock shadow! I used to shave every 2-3 days.

I haven't noticed anything with the hair on my head yet. I probably won't notice anyting until it has grown 3 inches though.

(I'm taking 2 pills/day.)

Hey Seximiami.....Redken's AntiSnap helped with the strength of my colored/lightened long fine blond hair....it has helped me keep more of it and it is very long now! I don't know if it works on all hair types but I have heard NOTHING but raves about it. The girl at the salon/store (tradesecret) told me to stick with it; that I wouldn't see alot of diff at first---boy was she right!
Best of luck....

Thanks for all the info MulattoKitten!

And thank you Lildreamer for the info on the Anti-snap!! I get my hair highlighted yet again next week so I plan to buy the whole kit!

Thanks a bunches!

Good! Just remember whatever you use, condition every 4 days for a month. Then, cut to once a week. Your hair should be really smooth, shiny, soft. If you have thin hair, you might want to opt for a conditioner that helps with volume, but deep condition for 30 minutes! It does help A LOT.

Don't even get me started on my pit hair. I had them lasered off a few years ago. A few remained. They were thin and light. I didn't mind them. Now they are thick and unruly. Time for zapping!

I have noticed that my bangs are longer. I think they've grown about 3/4" in the past 4 weeks. I've been taking the hair pills for almost 3 weeks. It's worth the rainforest on my legs. I think I hear a parrot.

Damn. I am going to look like an amazon woman. Maybe I should just take one? Eep.

When you stop taking them do you still grow a lot of body hair?

I doubt it. The pills are giving my body super nutrition. This is the reason I've got all this leg hair. Take away the super nurtrition, and everything will go back to the way it was.

Did you know that your hair grows after you eat? A doctor told me this when I was a kid. I might not be remembering the info correctly. But I've been believing it for 20 years.

I'm excited too. I didn't realize my hair was so long now though. I mean, it's a little past my shoulders, but I'm looking to add around 6 inches or so to it. Maybe more if it'll grow that long. I was thinking I'd grow it all out, cut off my chemically processed hair and use a "light" no lye relaxer on it just to tame my curl.

Uh Oh.

I ordered them like...maybe...2 weeks ago. Crap. Have they charged your credit card for them? Crap. I'm sucking it up and just going to Wal-Mart I guess. As much as I HATE that store. I'm going to call them tommorow. I'm pissed now.

Mine took AGES with the shipping but I did get them after 5-6 weeks.
The company`s great though, they made an error at first with my online receipt and once we got that straightened out I got free shipping:)
And they (the pills, not the company) smell like vanilla! Mmm vanilla...

Damn, really that long? Well, Finally called them and they said they'd have them here soon. Oh well, I can live but...it kind of sucks. I am not sure I'll be ordering from them again.

I don't notice more body hair than usual. I've been taking the pills for a couple of years now. People still ask me how I get long hair (and it's very curly)--I swear it must be the pills. Plus they're like multivites. I only take one a day--two is too much.

I recently started taking the pills. My hair grew so long that I had to have three inches chopped off today. I alternate taking one pill then two pills then one pill respectively per day. It's only about $3.47 plus tax at Walmart so it's not too much even if it is only a placebo effect but so far my hair grows very fast when I take the pills. My hair was in very bad condition too and had a difficult time growing. Now it looks healthy. All one length and longggggg. I had it cut today. Three inches. Good luck to all who are taking it and thanks to whomever mentioned it. I would never have known about the pills.

Awesome! Maybe that's what I'll do. You know, take one pill one day, then two the next. I ordered like six bottles, still haven't come yet. I might just give in and start buying them from wal*mart.

Like a month! I started to think it was a scam...Did you ever call them? I had to call them, then they called me back. They probably have a CRAPPY customer service (obviously). I'm still undecided whether I'll order from them again or not.

But, I took one yesterday, took one today and i'll probably take another today.

Take what the bottle says you can overdose on some vitamins. Which in turn is not healthy. Just take one a day and make sure you eat a balanced meal as though vitamins work best that way. Wait about a 4-6weeks for real results.

I ordered a bottle from the company and got one from wal-mart as well. Company: about $16 Wal-mart: about 4 bucks. The company had twice the size bottles than walmart and took about 6-8 days to get to my house.

6-8? Obviously we didn't order from the same company. Took me like, a month to get them.

I stopped taking 2 a day and now my hair growth (all over) has gone back to normal. No more blunting razors in one shave. I noticed too that I was starting to get a really faint moustache when taking 2 (as well as looking like a werewolf)and that dissapeared too. I'm so happy now!

I think they do work. I have only been taking 1-2 everyday of the week and I notice some new growth. Not much, but since I relax my hair it's noticeable that it's gotten slightly longer. I don't even think I have been on them exactly a week, I forget when I started taking them. I'll just say last wednesday (It was either that or Tuesday...Can't remember...)

But, Some days I took 1, some days 2. Trying to do 2 everyday but don't want to give my body TOO much or I'll start losing hair (Vit. A OD).

YAY! I can't wait to see it after a month or two. I'm not going to get my hair relaxed until it grows like, three to five inches more just so I have a dramatic length thing going on.

I am so glad you finally got them!!! And, I am glad that they are working! I also cut down to 1 a day, mostly to save trips to Wal-Mart lol. But the OD'ing is definitely an issue. See how you do with 1 a day after a few months. I hope they work for you :)

I feel like a dumb ass. I bought these pills MONTHS ago along with the rest of you guys, and just have not taken them. I am really good at putting things off. I want longer hair!!!! I'm gonna be taking 2 per day as suggested by some of my SW sistas!

Oh well, down the hachet (Cin swallows a pill)....

Like I posted in the other thread.

When i first read this post many months ago. I said to myself "Yeah right, another "supposedly" magic pill" (cuz all those diet ones never did a damn thing hehe )but I went to my local Wallmart the very next day and paid around $3.oo. I grabbed 2 bottles cuz you all said they were always running out (thanks or that tip btw :) )

It is about 4 months later. I carry my bottle in my purse so I dont forget to take them. 1 a day.

THEY WORK, they really, really work. My friends and family say "Wow your hair is getting so long" and the new growth is sooo thick. The top of my ponytail is soo much thicker. I am one happy camper thanks girls.

I can't really say if it's helping my hair or not. I've been taking 2 per day (one in morning/ one midday) for about 3 weeks now. My hair was in a weave, so it was harder for me to notice. Now that that is gone, hopefully I'll be able to test the results.

I haven't lost hope yet!

I make my own hair oil. Its really easy and inexpensive. I get almond oil from the natural food store(body products). I add just a couple of drops of rosemary oil, acouple of drops of vanilla and a couple of drops of amber oil. It smells wonderful it makes my hair and skin beautiful.

Well, I have been using them on and off and I do notice a difference. My ugly bangs are ALMOST grown out, not quite though. I noticed they did help but didn't make THAT big of a difference.
