There are a lot of things I don’t miss about being a teenager, but my thick, healthy, senior-superlative-winning “Best Hair” is one of them. I’m in my mid-30s now, and the amount of hair I see in my brush every day reminds me of those luscious locks I used to have. I don’t miss low-rise jeans or dial-up internet, but I would go back to that in a heartbeat if it meant helping my thinning hair.

I’ve tried just about everything to help with my hair strength and thickness: Scalp massages, hair oil, silk pillowcases, and more, but nothing worked for me. Not even the hair serums that promised growth. Turns out, many topical products focus on the surface level appearance of your hair, not the underlying issue. Cortisol, the stress hormone, can play a huge role in hair health, and can cause hair thinning.

I accepted my hair changes as another one of adulthood's fun surprises, until I came across Nutrafol on OprahDaily.com. A board-certified dermatologist was recommending it, so I was intrigued.

When I checked out their site, I discovered that Nutrafol has several different formulas for women: Women and Vegan options for 18-44, Postpartum, and Women 45+.

Each is specifically tailored to give women exactly what their hair needs at different points in their lives, targeting six root causes of hair thinning: hormones, stress, lifestyle, metabolism, nutrition, and aging.

Their website and quiz are so informative, so figuring out which formula was right for me was easy. I subscribed to the standard Women 18-44 formula, which shipped for free.

How is Nutrafol different from other supplements?

Nutrafol prioritizes science and takes a whole-body approach to hair health.

Their patented ​​Synergen Complex® uses unique ratios of ingredients to target root causes of hair thinning, not just putting a bandaid on the concerns. Their ingredients are bioavailable, meaning they are efficiently absorbable by your body to be used for the desired results.

I’m super skeptical about what I put in my body, especially since most supplements aren’t clinically tested. Nutrafol has conducted more than 20 clinical studies, so it’s something that I feel safe taking. Even after formulating their products, they continually research to make sure they keep up with science as it continues to evolve.

How long until I start seeing results?

Most women saw healthier hair in less than a month and noticeable results in 3–6 months, with less shedding and visibly fuller hair. For me, I didn’t really see a difference for the first two months. I actually made an appointment with Nutrafol ND (an additional perk when you subscribe) where they mentioned that everybody reacts differently and it takes more time to see results for some.

But consistency is key, and now that I’m on month 3, I’m noticing way less shedding and hair feels like it's growing slightly faster than before. So, as long as you stay consistent, your hair will grow.

So, my hair will grow. Will it grow everywhere?

When I started Nutrafol Women, I was also worried about causing hair growth in other places. Facial and body hair are triggered by different factors than head hair though, so I didn’t need to add a Brazilian wax or dermaplaning to my already busy schedule.

Will Nutrafol work for my hair type?

Women’s Vegan for 8 months from November 2023- July 2024

In a 6-month clinical study, participants taking Nutrafol Women’s Vegan experienced significant hair growth.

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Nutrafol’s clinical trials featured multiple ethnicities and hair types, including African American, Hispanic, Asian, and Caucasian people, who saw less shedding in as little as two months and noticeable thickness and scalp coverage after six months.

Although specific characteristics of hair strands may differ, underlying causes of hair thinning affect all people, regardless of ethnicity.

Is Nutrafol worth it?

Nutrafol prioritizes hair health, not just the aesthetic of your hair! Between the physician formulations and their transparency with clinical trial results, I think that Nutrafol Hair Growth Nutraceuticals are 100% worth it if you’re willing to stay consistent.

Yes, $88 might seem like a lot each month, and swallowing four pills a day can be annoying, but you can’t put a price on confidence. Plus, the subscribe and save option reduces the cost by up to 20% while ensuring I never run out.

It’s also not just their product that works. You get access to a great support system when you subscribe — naturopathic doctor consultations, a Headspace membership, and a great customer care team to assist with anything you need.

My hair is so important to how I feel each day — a bad hair day has a huge impact on my mood — so I really appreciate just how much care Nutrafol put into their product and overall offering.

It’s important to have realistic expectations when starting any new regimen. Even though I started my journey with Nutrafol recently, I know the best results will come with consistency.
