So far it's only been 30 days since purchasing them but by the end of week 2 I did notice that my hair was softer and appearing more fuller. I cut 4 inches of my hair off 1 week before I received my bottles and so far I've gained an inch. I have received a few compliments on my skin but chose not to tell anyone what I'm taking until I finish the recommended 90 day amount. The taste is not the greatest but the anticipated end result is my motivation.
I've been tracking the results of this product very carefully. I discontinued use of my multi-vitamin and biotin to give this product its fair chance because it is not cheap. And as of today 5/13/14, 2 days short of a month, I can say I've seen positive results thus far. My nails are healthy and growing. My hair is thickening up, not as dry and just looking marvelous. My skin is glowing, I am constantly getting compliments. I love this product and have 4 bottles in reserve, I also invested in the Nzuri Vida 10 in 1 vitamin. I follow the directions on the bottle, I put two caps of each in my green smoothie every morning. I am afraid I am a customer for life. I have since introduced it to many of my friends and family and they all the results they see. Thanks for producing such a wonderful product that does what it says.
I recently tried some vitamins in pill form and they broke me out (the main cause being the amount of Biotin in the pill) so I ceased using them and started looking for something else that was good for the hair that doesn't cause a reaction in me and after reading tons of reviews this product is the only one with solid reviews and no mentions of side effects except nausea and another plus for me personally is the amount of biotin in it which is very low. I also liked that this product can be used in many different ways. So I purchased the product on Tuesday and just received it yesterday which was Wednesday, so shipping is fantastic. Now onto the product itself: Smell: The smell is very sweet sort of like a fruit juice. It's comparable to the likes of prune or grape juice. Taste: Everyone is different, for me the taste is not bad at all and I don't feel the need to mix it with anything. I am just drinking it straight as is. I would compare the taste to grape juice, not Welch's grape juice but more of a Juicy Juice type taste. It tastes that way going down and then you sort of get the aftertaste that is more medicinal, like you are actually tasting the vitamins, but it's nothing to be gagging over, at least not for me. Also, one other note is that the mix did not thicken up upon refrigerating. Uses: There are four ways you can take this vitamin: 1. Orally (2 capfuls/1oz directly or mixed with water or juice) 2. Hair spray (Leave in spray: Mix 12oz of distilled water, 3oz of Nzuri & 2 TBSP of Olive Oil, or you can also add one capful to your weekly deep conditioner or add 1/4 cup to your daily hair moisturizer) 3. Skin formula (Apply Nzuri in the a.m. and just before bed to entire face with a cotton ball) 4. Nail formula (soak your nails directly in the elixir. Wash hands first with soap and water and emerge nails into liquid for 5 minutes at a time. Do as often as you like, for best results 3 to 4 times a week). I initially purchased one bottle as I wanted to try for 30 days and observe any complications etc. with the product, if all is well I will purchase the remaining 2 bottles to complete my 90 day review. Stars as of 11/12/12: 5 STARS. 10/18/12 'SKIN' UPDATE: This update is just for my skin. My regimen has been washing my face morning and night with a cleansing face wash, apply the Nzuri and after it dries follow up with a moisturizer. I DO notice a difference and my skin is clearing up from the breakout I had a month ago along with the 2 small blemishes it caused, they are almost completely unnoticeable which I'm very happy about. 11/12/12 'HAIR' UPDATE: This product is great, I didn't notice anything the first two weeks but toward the third week I have noticed that my hair is thicker and I've had quite a bit of new growth and my nails are actually growing longer now and looking really nice. I purchased my other two bottles a few weeks ago to make sure I had enough to continue with the 90 days and I'm glad that I did.
I've ordered this twice now and I just can't say no more vitamins for my hair. It hasn't been a tremendous help in aiding my hair growth, but who knows, maybe I just haven't noticed. Why I come back to this product over and over is because of the EXTREME amounts of vitamins and how healthy my hair looks. Sure, your hair will still get split ends, but everywhere else is healthy and did I mention SHINY? I noticed after a month of use my hair had a healthy sheen. Some people mention their skin glowing after using this product, but I don't see results in that area, note that I wasn't looking for that anyway. I keep coming back to this product for good reason. Take care of your further hair with spray leave-in conditioners and heat protectants! FYI: VERY POTENT VITAMIN TASTE, MIX AND DRINK IT WITH SOMETHING! Shipping: May take a day or two for processing, but they've always shipped via Priority for me.
