HOW I GOT THICKER & LONGER HAIR...

Hi, my name is Lauren and I have thin hair, yep I said it. You know that one thing you’re always self conscious about and always looking to change? For me it is my hair. This insecurity has led me to buying ALL of the thickening products on the shelves, you name it, i’ve tried it. Which leads not only to disappointment, a draw full of unused products but also to distrust in the market. I’m destined to live a life with flat, thin and boring hair no matter how many rollers, sprays, lotions and potions I use. So why am I writing this post? Well, you see I may have found a product that works, like actually, really works where I saw a difference just 6 weeks into the treatment. But first I should probably tell you how I discovered it…

Six months ago I started a new job with Nanogen, a brand typically known for their Thickening Hair Fibres for thinning hair and a treatment range to encourage healthier, thicker hair. Obviously, I was eager to try the range out to finally say goodbye to my fine, flat hair. So I know what you’re all thinking, i’m biased? But I can’t explain the results I saw only 6 weeks in without words like amazing, brilliant, the best, a miracle… ok maybe that’s a bit too far, but you get my drift...

So 12 weeks ago I started applying the Nanogen Growth Factor Hair Serum for women once daily to my hair. The serum not only encourages thick and healthy hair growth, but also protects follicles from free radical damage and supports your natural balance of hair growth signals. It has a handy pipette which means you can easily draw the serum into it ready for use. You simply add drops all over your scalp and massage in once a day. The fact it is only once a day is perfect as you can just add it in with your skincare regime. I tend to do mine in the evenings and unlike some hair serums, it doesn't leave your hair feeling greasy. If I forget of an evening, I will apply in the morning and simply spray some dry shampoo on after as the only thing it does do is leave your hair a little wet and i'm always in a rush, so dry shampoo is one of my besties for this reason!

This may sound a little silly but for those of you with fine hair, I think you will understand! My hair feels heavier, weightier and dare I say it thicker. Last weekend I went out with no extensions, no help from rollers only a spritz of another Nanogen product, Root Boost, my straighteners and a little back combing and I actually didn't hate it. In every photo my eyes are automatically drawn to my hair and in this case I was pleasantly surprised. 

I guess, the proof is in the pictures huh? Well here are my results and I think you'll agree they do all of the talking for me!

Picture 1: September 2015 - before treatment

Picture 2: October 2015 - 3 weeks in

Picture 3: November 2015 - 6 weeks in

Picture 4: January 2016 (this week!) 12 weeks in.

As you can see I am now 12 weeks into the treatment and bottle wise, I still have half of my third bottle left, but I will be honest there were days I did forget, so I think this is why as a 3 month treatment should usually be 3 bottles worth. But even with missing a few days here and there, my hair looks thicker, healthier, shinier and OMG longer and boy am I happy!

I really am so thrilled with the results and seeing this latest picture has just spurred me even more. I really couldn't recommend it enough if like me you have fine hair that makes you feel insecure. I would love to hear your thoughts if you try it too as it has definitely become a staple in my hair care routine.

If you'd like to try this product, you can purchase it here. I'd love to know if anyone else has used this before and if so what results did you see?

Love Lauren x
