*Disclosure- I received a sample product to help facilitate this post. All opinions are my own.
Rip! Yank! Tear! These are universal words that every mom knows and associates with playing beauty parlor with their kids. Children love giving mama a new look, and mine are no exception. For 15 years my poor hair hasn't had much of a break, unless we are talking about all the strands my kids break right off my head.
In all seriousness though, hair thinning, loss, and lack of nutrients is something many of us experience naturally, and is definitely common with aging. Taking care of my skin and hair has always been important to me, but even more so now that I am in my mid 30's. These past few years I have noticed a few more strands of hair come out in the shower and on my hairbrush than I used to lose. And though I try to eat nutrient rich foods to keep my body nourished, some days my hair still feels dry and brittle. It's becoming apparent that I need an extra boost to help get my hair in its best shape. Since I am a huge fan of NeoCell's beauty care products, it was only natural that I turned to them for hair help.
One of NeoCell's newest products is the Keratin Hair Volumizer. It is an all-natural nutraceutical solution for strong, lustrous, and abundant hair, containing clinically proven ingredients to enhance hair strength and reduce hair loss from every day activities*
Cynatine HNS Solubilized
Keratin: The ability to convert natural keratin into a functional form
that is bio-available to the body is a recent advancement. Cynatine HNS® is
solubilized enabling it to be both bioactive and bioavailable in the body, which
allows it to bind with hair. Cynatine HNS® has been clinically proven to reduce
hair loss from washing, improve hair strength and improve the brightness and
luster of hair.*
Hydrolyzed Super Collagen: Hydrolyzed
Super Collagen™ is a structural component of hair, skin and nail health. Super
Collagen™ is a rich source of glycine, proline, alanine and hydroxyproline,
which are the main constituents of collagen in the hair. Research suggests that
collagen supplementation stimulates fibroblasts at the hair root, resulting in
increased diameter of the hair shaft. NeoCell's pharmaceutical grade Super
Collagen™ is enzymatically hydrolyzed, providing a collagen amino acid ratio
with low molecular weight for maximum bioavailability.*
Amla Extract: Amla, or Indian
Gooseberry, has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine for its anti-aging
properties. Amla provides high concentrations of Vitamin C and and has been
revered for being a powerful antioxidant.*
Vitamin C: Vitamin C is an
antioxidant that is an important part of optimal collagen formation.*
I have been using NeoCell Keratin Hair Volumizer supplements for a few weeks now, and can definitely see an improvement in my hair's health already. It is naturally shiny now, without having to add shine enhancing serums that I normally put in my hair daily. When my daughter was "fixing" my hair the other day, even she noticed a difference. "How did you get your hair so shiny and soft!?" she said. With my NeoCell Keratin Hair Valumizer supplements, of course! I have lost a lot of hair since being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis a few years ago, so it is going to take a bit more time to see a difference in hair volume, but so far, I am very pleased with the results.
I am taking 2 capsules twice a day. I like that they are easy to swallow, however, they do have a bit of a pungent taste to them. Thankfully, you only get a quick taste, since it goes away quickly after swallowing the capsules. Each container has 60 capsules, which is a 2 week supply. You can find them at Amazon.com, as well as Walgreens, CVS/pharmacy, and the Vitamin Shoppe.

I have super thick hair, but I am always paranoid because I shed so much. I am afraid I am going to wake up bald one day.
ReplyDeleteShiny is good, soon you'll be doing those hair commercials lol
ReplyDeleteOoh, then I'd be raking in the big bucks! :)
Deletea bit too late for lil' Dezzy to get some volume....
ReplyDeleteI think I like you better bald anyway Dezzy ♥
Delete'tis true... my hair... back when I had it before college, was overly thick, greasy and weird looking since we didn't have money and my mom was cutting it LOL... you can imagine the horror....
DeleteProve it! Show me a picture with hair. I mean show me a picture on which you have hair.
DeleteI would like to see a pic with Dezzy and a head full of hair! I just can't picture it in my mind!
DeleteWell, that makes two of us.
DeleteI'd like to try: Pomegranate from the Seed. Pomegranate is supposed to help with memory loss. My Grandma had Alzheimer's.
ReplyDeleteI also like the Hyaluronic Acid Blueberry Liquid.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest two used to play with my hair, but the youngest two never did. I didn't even think of it until you mentioned it. :) The volumizer sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI have so much hair on my head that I don't worry when it falls out...yet. This looks like a fantastic product, though! Sometimes people forget their hair when they're trying to be healthy, so this is a good reminder!
ReplyDeleteI like the beauty bursts and would love to try them. i really want to try to the keratin hair volumizer because my hair got so thin because of my thyroid disorder.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what is going on with me but my hair has thinned significantly. This is great to know about!

ReplyDeleteI know my mother has problems of losing hair. I'm just glad baldness doesn't run in my family.
ReplyDeleteI could really use this for my hair. I also like the Pomegranate from the Seed, looks like something I can use.
ReplyDeleteI have heard good things about Keratin. This is something I would love to try!
ReplyDeleteI need to try this for my hair. It always gets worse in the winter, so I try to do whatever I can to keep it healthy.
ReplyDeleteAmla is awesome! Combined with keratin I am sure this would do wonders for my hair fall.
ReplyDeleteAs we get older, we definitely cannot take good skin and health for granted! Heard great things about keratin too.
ReplyDeleteAi @ Sakura Haruka
OOh this sounds awesome. I am a huge fan of keratin for hair, this looks like another awesome option. Boy could I use all the help I can get!

ReplyDeleteI would love to try this product. I have noticed my hair thinning over the years.
ReplyDeleteI have horribly thin hair and keep hearing about Keratin. I need to give this a try!
ReplyDeleteThankfully my daughter and I are really blessed with thick hair and lots of volume! But, a friend of mine complains all the time, and I really think she could benefit from this!
ReplyDeleteMy natural hair could use some volume. maybe why I wear extensions all the time
ReplyDeleteMy youngest loves to play with my hair. It is nice to find products that help strengthen!
ReplyDeleteDADDY GIVES ME A NEW HAIRSTYLE EVERY DAY HE EVEN GETS ME TO TAKE DYE AND SPLATTER IT ALL OVER HIS GREY FOREST AND HE TELLS ME WHEN HE DIES WE CAN KEEP HIS TOUPEE ON OUR MANTELPIECE JUST SO WE CAN HAVE SOMETHING TO REMEMBER HIM BY BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteHaving healthy and shiny hair is so important. Our hair definitely changes as we age and needs different care than it did when we were younger.
ReplyDeleteHealthy hair is so important. My hair has changed so much after having my son!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about the results. I've never heard of pills giving your hair volume. I could use some!
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting, I have super fine hair so I have no volume.
ReplyDeleteMy mother-in-law has been having So many problems with her hair thinning and has been looking for something to help her wit it. I think I'm going to have to add this to her Christmas list, shhh!
ReplyDeletei have thick hair but I would try this anyways. It sounds really good.
ReplyDeletei know my sister would love this, her hair has changed over the years

ReplyDeleteMy biggest issues are shedding and frizzing. I miss the way my hair was in Las Vegas, so much easier to manage than in Chicago!
ReplyDeleteI love having BIG, sexy hair, so this product is right up my alley. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading a lot about these Keratin stuff lately and with my kind of hair I'm not entirely sure how it will work on mine but I'm willing to give it a shot.
ReplyDeleteIt looks good, but my hair has more than enough volume. I need a product that does the opposite.

I like the Neocell Collagen + C tablets.
ReplyDeleteI would also love to try out the Resveratrol. Sounds promising!

ReplyDeleteThere are so many things aimed at longer and stronger hair. I love it!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are seeing some nice results from this Neocell hair product. My hair gets pretty dry and brittle, so I use those hair serums, but there is nothing like getting that healthy shine, naturally! I was wondering if there are any negative side effects to taking the pills? (like a jittery feeling?)
ReplyDeleteHI Kristi! No, I do not notice any side effects when taking the supplements. No dizziness, jittery feelings, or drowsiness :)
DeleteI feel like the older I get the more hair I lose. I definitely want to check out this product.
ReplyDeleteYour kids break the strands right off your head? Ouch! I'm in my mid 30's I mean 40's and I've pretty much given up on my forever receding hair. One day I'll end up like Dezz... I mean... think about it ;) Shiny hair would be great, Theresa.
ReplyDeleteYep! Beauty Parlor with the kiddies is the leading cause of hair loss among moms ;)
DeleteOuch!
DeleteIt bothers me how much hair I lose. I still seem to have plenty of it, but I wouldn't mind a supplement to maybe stop some of the shedding.
ReplyDeleteI do lose some hair, it always winds up in my shower drain, LOL. My Mom tried some Neocell products and was pleased.
ReplyDeleteI have a ton of hair but I know a lot of women that worry about thinning hair. I love that your hair is already looking shiny!
ReplyDelete~Amanda
I have chemically treated, very dry, damaged hair and would lose so much hair every day... I really don't know how I'm not bald. But I started taking a supplement recently and i is amazing the difference it has made. My mom has very, very thin hair, I'll tell her about this.
ReplyDeleteI have super thick hair for now but thinning hair definitely runs in my family. It seems to affect the men mostly but you just never know.
