UPDATED Hair Worx - Hair Growth Review

I think I may not be the only person in the world to have SUPER slow growing hair.. It has taken me approx 20 years to grow it half way down my back (3 inches past my boobs for reference) so I have been thinking about buying some hair/skin/nails style tablets. I brought some from Superdrug a few years ago and they were so huge!! probably the size of my little finger nail (I have long nails) I'm not too bad with swallowing tablets but they were unbearable and would stick down my throat so they would leave a horrible after taste. To be honest I didn't even notice much difference after the course anyway so I gave up hope. I had been thinking about taking some again as its my graduation coming up and wanted to look the best possible (my hair is awfully thin and I have slight adult acne). I was delighted to be kindly gifted these tablets by Hair Worx. I will be doing a 'before and after' post once I have finished the course of tablets as well so you can see the difference yourself :). 

I have been taking them for a week now and I can honestly say I can see a tiny bit of difference. I'm not expecting miracles as my hair isn't great anyway but I am hoping just to finally be happy with what I look like. In addition to this, my skin has also calmed down too. I know the tablets aren't specifically for skin but as the tablets are a mixture of different vitamins etc vital for hair growth which also relates to clear skin and nail growth.

UPDATE

I have finally finished the course of this product! I have taken before and after photos to see if you can see the difference. I personally can - its not had a rapid growth as my hair isn't like that so it just wouldn't be possible. BUT I have noticed a change in growth as I have noticed I haven't needed a trim so often so therefore it's been getting longer because less has been taken off. Which leads me onto the saying the quality of my hair has changed, its gone from being quite coarse and dry to extremely shiny and manageable! The product is a mix of supplements to help promote healthy hair and as I am a vegetarian I dont get a lot of protein or iron (promoting strong hair) so this has really benefited me!

Between these photos I have had one hair trim (a month ago) and dyed my hair the night before!!

Dandruff: The taboo subject

I have been wanting to write this for a while now, but not knowing where to start. As I have 3 deadlines on monday and with barely any work to present, this is the perfect time..!!

When someone says the word dandruff, like everyone else I would scrunch up my nose and shake the conversation off pretty quickly. It is associated with dirty smelly people who don't wash their hair. 

However, ever since last year, when a close family friend died and i was under a lot of stress in a horrible job (see blog post "Clintons is shit") I noticed a very small flaky patch on my scalp at the very front, in my parting. I used to try and scratch it out but then the flakes would get stuck in my hair and I could never get them out! Even in shower! The water would just cause them to stick to my hair.

Just as the stress was clearing up and I had left my job, we had our shower fixed but the plumber had fixed the shower on boiling!!! The hot was the colder side of boiling and the cold was SCOLDING! 

Mum being mum (any mum can take on any heat) doesnt realise how hot, to a normal person, the water is!! The patch started to grow and grow and around then I read an article about dandruff and how hot hot hot water can dry your scalp out, therefore create dry, flaky skin. 

I used special shampoo like Head and Shoulders but that just made it 100x times worse!! Which surprised me, it also made my hair AWFUL. Greasy and terribly frizzy and knotty. 

Its gotten so bad that even if my hair line itches I have to tap it as if I even press my nail into the skin, it spilts the top layer of skin and bleeds or just causes lots of flakes!!

So basically, the moral of the story is, dandruff happens to EVERYONE and the cleanest of people may have it and the dirtest people may not.. Also, use a luke warm shower!!

If anyone knows any good brands for dandruff please let me know!! I am dying to try anything and everything!
