Hair Fact#1

A hair grows for about 5 years at an average rate of 1cm per month. This is followed by a relatively short period of rest, usually a few month, during which the hair is no longer growing. At the end of the rest period the hair is shed and is replaced by a new hair-known as the hair growth cycle.

Is an individual's beauty determined by their hair? Yes/No and Why????




What causes hair loss/hair thinning???

Hair loss or hair thinning is often due to behavioural factors such as stress and dietary deficiency as a result of illness and effects from medication.  Using Vigro may help to restore hair's normal growth cycle.

My experience with Vigro....my new best friend


Soooo, I have been using these products for the past two weeks, due to hair loss that as result of stress at work and never ending working hours. I want to tell you about my experience,....

Firstly, I wash my hair with Vigro shampoo and it deep cleanses hair and scalp from oils and pollutants that causes hair loss. (right image).


I then divide my hair into sections and apply the Vigro Bio-Tonic (left image). It is a greaseless tonic that should be applied to the scalp to promote healthy blood circulation to enhance hair growth.

I love the nozzle as it easily reaches the scalp.







The last but not least, I apply the Vigro Bio- Activator (front image). This creme is nice and thicker than any hair treatment that I have used. It moisturisers damaged hair due to perming, colouring and straightening and must not be rinsed off.

This process takes 10-15 minutes daily, and must be done everyday for atleast thrice a week. So I apply these products from Monday to Thursday and Fridays I get out my curlers and GHD, ready to ROCK the weekend. It is definitely worthwhile in the end.

Overall, it is a really good care for hair loss. It is packaged well and affordable. I do however feel, the size should have been larger seeing that it should be used frequently- enough for a month supply.

To buy or not to buy? Yes its worth a try!

My rating 7/10

Is Vigro suitable for you???

The average person, both male and female has 100 000 hairs. Approximately 100 of these hairs are shed each day as part of the hair growth cycle. Similarly, 100 new hairs commence growing each day resulting in a constant head of hair. Hair shed in this way is natural and is no cause for concern:)
