Hey beauties, let me preface this review by stating I too have fell victim to the "hair journey" craze that seems to be sweeping the nation. I mean, let's be honest, who doesn't want longer thicker hair growing from their scalp? Exactly, we all do. Hairfinity promises to do just that. Here's my experience thus far.
So, my back story is I've been realxed since I was about eleven. I have done just about everything to my hair. Bleached it, dyed it, braided it, twist outs, braid outs, quick weaved it up, pony tailed it up, sewed it up, wrapped it up, cut it up, shaved one side...everything. This time around I've decided to embark on growing it out in hopes to achieve a healthier head of hair. Thicker, fuller and longer. I've been relaxing the past 2-3 years about 2 or 3 times a year, thinking stretching my relaxers would give me time between the chemicals to achieve a stronger and longer head of hair. I also have been taking pre-natal vitamins for a daily vitamin supplement since December 2013. Currently, I am texlaxed. I've decided this is the best option for me as I like the results of a straightened root but the natural texture of my hair in a relaxed state is optimal for styling, for me.
Texlaxed is relaxing the natural texture of your hair with a chemical wether it be a relaxer or texturizer. If anyone wants more info on texlaxing or a more in depth review of wearing texlaxed hair, comment below. So anyway, I relaxed in February 2015 and received a fresh hair cut(a chin length bob measuring between 9-10 inches after cut) on June 6 of 2015. June 19th I texlaxed my hair. June 27th I began to take Hairfinity.
I ordered a 2 month supply fromwww.hairfinity.comfor $24.99 a bottle and $9.95 for shipping. Each bottle having 60 capsules, taking 2 a day, which results in a 30 day supply. Immediately I thought the price was a little much but I had some extra coins to blow so I found this to be the perfect opportunity. The first bottle I finished noticing no real difference in my hair. I go back and forth in my washing routine with shampooing and cowashing (for a list of my favorite hair products comment below) Minimal heat application (blow drying and flat ironing) and moisturizing. About 2 weeks in, I noticed an influx with shedding. I mean, real life from the follicle shedding. Hair was every where. Every time I combed it, there was so much hair. (I will insert a picture below) I thought about the products I was using, I thought it could be my hair adjusting to the new routine, maybe it was my birth control... I thought I was going bald.
So, yea your homie was like hold up, let me stop taking this stuff for a minute to see if this is the thing that's balding me. (I had no actual bald spots or thinning, just shedding)
I stopped usage for about a week and a couple of days and guess what, the shedding persisted. I still have shedding but it isn't as bad as it was. It's about a little more than normal to date... Fast foward to today, I'm on my second bottle and I've noticed a number of things.

One, my scalp itches. It itches often and alot. I'm still not sure if it's the "growing itch" or what but it itches.
Two, my hair is thicker. Especially to the left side of my head but it's always been a little thicker to that side.
Third, my hair is retaining more moisture. I've always had porous hair. I mean, thirsty. I'm not sure what my hair type is (I don't really subscribe to that info) but it's tightly waved, more like a z pattern for those who care. I don't really put much product in it just because I'm not into that but now it's holding more moisture longer.

Fourth, I haven't seen a difference in length just yet. But when I do a flexi or bantu set my hair is bouncier and shinier. Although they don't last too long I do like the out come and the stretch.
Lastly, I haven't experienced any sudden outbreak of acne or skin related issues due to using hairfinity. I have combo to a slightly more oily t zone.
So yea, this is my current experience with hairfinity thus far, I'm not sure if it's worth the money spent. I don't think it's any better than regular biotin to be honest. But this is my experience at this particular point in my usage. If your at all interested in purchasing visit www.hairfinity.com.
