Let’s talk about the oh so pleasant topic of hair loss, shall we? It’s one that, as women, we don’t give a lot of thought to unless we are personally dealing with it. We see men losing their hair as they age but don’t expect to encounter that particular side effect ourselves as the decades pass. The truth is, women can deal with excess hair loss and thinning throughout their lifetimes just as men can. Hormonal imbalances, emotional stress, medications, and even certain hair products can trigger and contribute to loss.
I have spoken in the past about my ongoing experience getting my body back on track following a hormonal imbalance. After trying to heal my body on my own I finally accepted medical help and was prescribed hormones that have greatly helped get me back to “normal”. Prior to starting on the hormones I’m on I did A LOT of research and encountered some glowing reviews and some less positive ones. Those less positive spoke frequently of weight gain and hair loss. The weight gain didn’t concern me but the hair loss did and almost kept me from starting the course of hormones.
You see, I have always had very fine hair. I have quite a bit of hair but each individual strand is finer than average, generally resulting in an overall limp look. The thought of losing any of these precious hairs was not something I was keen on. Ultimately the benefits outweighed the possible side effects and I began taking hormones, but let me tell you…I was watching my hair growth obsessively and ready to stop the medication if I saw even the slightest increase in daily hair loss.
Just a month after going on my new medication, an opportunity presented itself to test Reviv Serums new RevivHair Stimulating Serum, a product designed to boost the appearance of hair density, thickness, fullness, strength, and overall health. Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity. After all, a helping hand never hurt anybody and there were even some claims that the product could increase hair growth. Sign me up!
