As someone who's battled postpartum hair loss and tried everything from minoxidil to expensive salon treatments, Viviscal was a game-changer. The first thing I noticed? Within TWO WEEKS, my shower drain stopped looking like a wig factory.
The Good Stuff:
- Actual baby hairs! After 3 months, my hairline looks like it's hosting a tiny hair festival. Even my hairstylist asked if I'd gotten extensions.
- That "after bleach" breakage? Gone. My bleached strands now survive round brushing (mostly) intact.
- Pro tip: Pair with their Densifying Shampoo - my hair has that "just left the salon" bounce without the $200 price tag.
The Not-So-Good:
- These pills are shaped like tiny torpedoes. I've perfected the "Viviscal gulp" with a full glass of water to avoid throat stickage.
- The seafood-y aftertaste is real. Morning burps taste like low tide unless I take them mid-meal.
Surprise Bonus: My nails could probably scratch diamonds now. Didn't expect that!
Final Verdict: If you can power through the first month (results take time!) and stomach the occasional fishy burps, this actually delivers on its promises. Just don't skip doses - consistency is key!
