Great for making hair longer!
First of all, I am a 45 year old woman with 2 kids. I lost a lot of hair with my 2 children. I do lots of research though, and soon learned why the Hair loss occurs and that it would grow back. It did.... however, it never again grew back to the left it had been before, which was about 2 inches below the bra strap on my back. My pregnancies had affected the anagen phase (growing phase) of my hair by shortening it. I did not cut my hair for SIX years, not even a trim, and my hair refused to grow longer, it remained 1 inch above my bra strap, and refused to grow back to where it was. That said, my hair WAS growing normally! I dye my hair, so it is easy to measure the growth in a months time, by measuring the length of my natural color at the root between touching up the color. My average growth rate was 1 inch per month. Thats really good growth, right? So then why was my hair staying the same length? I did research into the growth cycle of head hair, and discovered why. The anagen phase controls how long the hair will grow before it is shed. Apparently, because the growing phase of my hair was shortened by pregnancy hormones that permanently changed it... my hair was spending less time growing and fell out sooner, leading to shorter hair, and the length it had grown to above my bra band was the maximum limit now. No fair! I wanted to kn I w if I could change that at all, maybe take hormones or something. I researched stuff like monixidil for women, but those products are for people that are losing too much hair and gave thinning hair. I wasn't going bald, I was going SHORT. I also read about biotin, but the thing with biotin is, it does nothing for you unless you have a biotin deficiency, which I did not. It also will do nothing to make hair LONGER. It just helps it to grow at a normal rate if you are deficient. SO.... I purchased these supplements after having read that some people have had success in lengthening the amount of time their hair follicles would spend in the anagen phase and hopefully lengthen that phase, thus lengthen my hair overall. So I purchased 2 bottles, because I also read that it takes 3 months to kick in. Each bottle contains 2 months worth of doses (if you take the minimum dose of 2 pills each day). I'm a HUGE skeptic. I dont trust anything, but I'm certainly game to try. I took 2 pills per day and after emptying the first bottle, I had zero length. I wasn't shocked. I honestly didn't expect the pills would do anything at all. But, by the time I had finished the second bottle (nearly 4 months) my hair was at the middle of my bra strap accross my back!! I was completely floored. After SIX years of no noticeable change in the length of my hair, my hair was growing longer! Now, I am on my third bottle, halfway through and my hair is still growing. I'm completely amazed, and totally happy. My hair has grown 2 inches longer in 5 months. I'm going to keep using MS as long as I need to to keep it growing longer. With luck, it will go back to the length it was before I had children :
