Hair Burst // Chewable Hair Vitamins
RRP £19.99 for 60 Pastilles
This is a 30 Pastille/15 day supply that I received in the Look Fantastic March 2020 box.
First Impressions:
They sort of taste like fruit pastilles and I will admit; I wanted to eat more than one. It had a fruity taste that wasn't to artificial.
Usage
First use - March 2020
Last use - Beginning April 2020
Would I buy it: It's a hard no from me.
Overall Impressions:
Whereas these taste great, you can go to Holland & Barrett, buy some multi-vitamins for less than half the price and get the same results. Also 30 pastilles is not enough to see any major difference. My hair didn't grow any longer, my eyebrows looked the same. I think maybe my eyelashes looked slightly longer but that's it. I don't think I took them regularly enough; I took one a day instead of two. Mainly due to the amount of sugar in the pastilles. The first two ingredients are glucose syrup and sugar. I find it really misleading and potentially dangerous for them not to disclose how much sugar is in them. Imagine if someone diabetic started taking them without reading the ingredients properly?
Second, they only have 9 minerals/vitamins whereas my multi-vit tablet from Co-op (which costs £2.50 for 60 tablets) has 13. Here is a comparison:
The co-op multivitamin and iron tablets have the exact same amounts as the hair burst apart from the biotin and selenium. Biotin may help increase hair growth however, hair/nails etc are not considered essential by the body so if you're not eating a balanced (and healthy) diet, chances are the extra vitamins are going to go to supporting essential systems.
I would recommend going for the cheaper option and then eat biotin rich foods like eggs, raspberries, avocados and salmon. As for Selenium, I can't find any scientific articles with what it actually does; every article states "it may" do x, y, z. Good sources of natural selenium though include, eggs, chicken and sunflower seeds (which I sprinkle on my breakfast).
