Viviscal® Extra Strength Hair Growth Program

You know I love my hair and I think of it as my best accessory, so it’s important to me that my hair be as healthy as possible, despite the abuses I heap on it. As someone who is always wanting my hair to grow faster, I always take supplements. Since I lighten and color treat my hair in addition to heat styling it, it needs the extra TLC. I recently had the opportunity to try out Viviscal® Extra Strength Hair Growth Program. Viviscal is the #1 selling hair growth supplement in the USA.

Viviscal is a clinically proven hair growth supplement that is scientifically formulated to promote hair growth in women. The supplements are 100% drug-free and are clinically proven to be effective. Viviscal is backed by 25 years of research and development. Viviscal claims that users can see results in as little as 3 months.

Why Women’s Hair Can Become Thin

• Too Much Chemical Processing
• Too Much Heat Styling
• Poor Nutrition
• Age
• Post-Pregnancy Hair Loss
• Genetics
• Environmental Damage
• Too Much Vitamin A
• Vitamin B Deficiency
• Lack of Protein
• Anemia
• Androgenetic Alopecia (female-pattern hair loss)
• Female Hormones
• Physical Stress
• Emotional Stress
• Hypothyroidism
• Autoimmune-related Hair Loss
• Lupus
• Dramatic Weight Loss
• Chemotherapy
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
• Some Medications
• Trichotillomania

Women’s hair can thin because of a wide variety of reasons like the ones above. The way that Viviscal supplements work is by supplying nutrients to the hair follicle and promoting existing hair growth. The pills are made up of a mixture of nutrients including Biotin (my favorite!) Vitamin C, Zinc, Iron, Millet Seed Extract and AminoMar (an exclusive marine complex).

How Hair Grows
Hair growth has 3 cycles – growth, transition and resting. At any given time, around 90% of our hair is in the growth phase (anagen), which lasts 2-8 years. The transition phase (catagen) usually lasts around 2-3 weeks and this is when our hair follicles will shrink. The resting phase (telogen) is around 2-4 months. Most of the time our hair is growing. By taking supplements, you can help increase the effectiveness of your hair growth. The average person grows about 6 inches of hair a year, so about 1/2 an inch a month.

The way I’ve been taking Viviscal is by taking a pill in the morning and a pill at night with food. For the first 3 to 6 months that you take Viviscal, they recommend you take it like this. After 6 months you can continue to take it like this, or drop down to 1 pill a day. What I really like about the pills are that they’re easy to swallow (I tend to have trouble with large pills getting stuck in my throat). Additionally, they’re very reasonably priced on Amazon. I’m very happy with how my hair is looking lately!

My Current Top 5 Hair Tips

• Unless you have oily hair, don’t wash your hair every day. Washing your hair too frequently can dry out your scalp and make it produce more oil. This is counterproductive! If you really need it, use a dry shampoo at the roots.
• Deeply condition your hair at least once a month! Since I only wash every 5 days or so, I usually deep condition every other time I wash my hair. Deeply conditioning your hair will help to keep frizz away.
• To help dry your hair, use a bamboo or microfiber hair towel to absorb moisture without roughing up the cuticle, as this helps to prevent frizzy hair too.
• Invest in a shower filter. I just did this 2 months ago and I’m really pleased with the results. Having a filter in my shower head improves the quality of water. Just don’t forget to change the filter!
• Use a heat protectant before you blow dry or heat style! If you are addicted to your flat iron, curling iron or blow dryer, make sure you’re protecting your tresses with a high quality heat protectant spray.
