We'll start by giving a little background on Hairfinity, the ingredients, and general info.

Hairfinity was started by Tameka Lawrence. Mrs. lawrence had been experiencing problems with her hair in terms of growth and breakage. She began to research various hair care solutions and decided to create a website hub for others to find the very information she was seeking. In her adventures to find that great hair care solution she failed to find products that contained safe, effective ingredients. So in 2006 Mrs. Tameka Lawrence along with her husband formed Brock Beauty. It's first product launch was Hairfinity, a supplement that promotes hair growth. 

Hairfinity consists of several ingredients:
Biotin
One word that you hear or see a lot of in most hair, skin, and nail supplement vitamins is Biotin. Its seen on every vitamin bottle and tossed around a lot when explaining these supplements. But has anyone really took the time to sit down and explain what Biotin is and does for the body? Well if you have no idea I will help to explain. 
Biotin is a coenzyme and a B vitamin (it is also referred to as vitamin H). Biotin supports the health of skin, nerves, the digestive tract, your metabolism, and cells. It is necessary for cell growth, fatty acid production, metabolism of fats, and amino acids. It can also be helpful in maintaining a steady blood sugar level. It can be used as a supplement for diabetes, brittle nails, and other conditions. Biotin can be found naturally in food. Foods like:
  • Wheat Germ
  • Whole Grain Cereals
  • Whole Wheat Bread
  • Eggs
  • Dairy
  • Nuts
  • Swiss chard
  • Salmon
  • Chicken
Niacin
Vitamin A
Vitamin C
Vitamin D
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B Complex
MSM
Exclusive Capilsana Complex (a blend of collagen, keratin, msm, and silica)

All of these are the ingredients that make up Hairfinity vitamins. If you want a complete breakdown of each component please click here---> Hairfinity Vitamin Ingredients


My Review & Experience with Hairfinity

For several years now I was having problems with breakage. I had a massive hole in the back of my head and I had tried everything to grow my hair back. I even got my first hair cut (big chop) a little over 2 years ago and that did not help my breakage.

Thats when I began researching Natural Hair Remedies. I've been a huge advocate for both relaxed and natural hair. I think both are great and both can yield healthy results if maintained properly.





I found shampoo, hair masks, moisturizers, and hydrating mask recipes made from natural products like Aloe Gel, Banana and Honey. But I didn't want to go natural just yet. I wanted to keep using relaxers I just wanted to help maintaining the relaxer and get my hair to grow. I came across a pin on a pinterest board that talked about Hairfinity vitamins. They claimed it worked well on helping maintain healthy hair and that it gave great results when trying to grow hair.

I was always willing to try anything new. So I went online searched for it, found it, and bought it. After the first week of usage I noticed that my nails were growing and getting thicker/stronger. I decided not to look at my hair in terms of length and growth, because I am very skeptical of products. If I don't see a response in the product within a week I usually swear off of it. I know that is not a fair amount of time, but I am impatient and I want immediate results! Anyway I gave myself a couple of weeks. I did however take a picture of my hair before I started taking the Hairfinity vitamins and after. This was before I went natural. The instagram photo of the progress my hair made within a couple weeks of taking the vitamins is below:


Progress was slow but it was evident that it was helping to speed up my growth. It helped to fill in that huge hole I had in my hair. For years my hair had a huge hole in from severe breakage. However, my hair was severely damaged and even with Hairfinity I had to make some changes. So I went natural (cut out relaxers all together) and my hair's growth went beyond what it was when I was natural. The results were evident. My hair has grown tremendously since I've started taking the Hairfinity vitamins. My hair routine is simplistic which allows my hair a break from daily styling damage, heat damage, and chemical damage. Hairfinity is a permanent staple in my hair diet. This is the best vitamin I've ever used.

Here's a small video compilation of my hair growth using Hairfinity with both relaxed and natural hair:


Hairfinity has really helped my in terms of growth and strength. My hair is stronger and growing longer everyday. Hairfinity is a great product and it works! If you want to try Hairfinity it is available for one time and continuous autoship. You can order a 1, 2, 4, 6 or 12 month supply. They also have other products available but I haven't tried them at this point in time. However here are some of their other products:

Infinite Lash Eyelash Enhance Serum

I've heard some instances where Hairfinity wasn't the product for some people and if thats the case I have some products that may work for you:
GNC Ultra Nourish-Hair
Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin and Nails
Irwin Naturals Healthy Skin and Hair Plus Nails
MegaFood Skin, Nails & Hair
Spring Valley Hair, Skin & Nails Plus Biotin
Vibrance Vitamins for Hair Growth
Puritan's Pride Hair, Skin & Nails Formula
Hairformula 37

There are so many many different vitamin sets but essentially if you can't take any of these because of the formulas then simply take some vitamins to give your body added nourishment beyond what you are eating. Nature's Bounty, Nature's Own, Puritan Pride, etc. They have vitamins like Vitamin C, Vitamin B, Vitamin D, and Vitamin B12. They are affordable too so don't fret about your pocket. So many different vitamins that you can try, find what vitamin combination works for you.

Try going to GNC or the Vitamin Shoppe. Talk to one of the staffers about a good set of vitamins that will help nourish your hair and body. Also talk to your dermatologist. They may be able to explain what you need or can try in terms of vitamins for specifically for your body.

Nothing is set in stone. What works for me may not work for you. Its imperative that you are careful when adding various vitamins to your hair regimen. Pay attention to your body and its reactions. If you become ill or anything out of the ordinary stop using the pills. Immediately.
