Sugarbear Hair Vitamins 3-stars Reviews
New formula tastes horrible
I have been using these for a year and a half now. I first need to say, they did thicken up my hair. I have naturally curly hair and it has been thick my whole life until I had an anaphylatic reaction to IVP Dye, a week on the vent and massive amounts of steroids later, and 4 more days in the hospital I went home. Very weak and hair not so great. Then 4 months later I got covid, my hair got so thin you could see my scalp! Even with my curls! It sucked. I started taking these and within 2 months it started coming back! Now the formula has made it taste like plastic and is hard to take but I will still buy because they help.
New Formula Not As Good
I used to love these vitamins and had seen great results in the past but like many others have mentioned the new formula doesn't live up to the quality I expected now. I did an online order for store pickup and just got a bottle that has greenish bears with yellow specks in it, looks nothing like the blue bears in my current bottle so definitely will be returning them. Also, the past few months I noticed my results weren't as great as they use to be while using the product but after reading others reviews the change in ingredients must be to blame. Not sure I would recommend this product anymore.
They work but....
I absolutely fell in love with these vitamins initially and I took them for about 6 months or so. my hair looked better than it's ever looked and was so long and healthy I was so happy. sadly, these vitamins stopped working for me after the 6 months and I was losing hair again. I was very religious and consistent with my vitamins I took them every day because I love my hair. I am a 37 year old female I have never had acne in my life until I took these vitamins, this is not just acne this is cystic acne. This is really hard to get rid of and 2 years later I'm still dealing with one dot on my forehead. The dermatologist gave me medications but it still won't go away now I'm trying apple cider vinegar to see if that will work. My hair has fallen out now I have a bald spot and my hairline is receding. I bought a book on how to care for your hair and it is written by a doctor who recommends taking vitamin B12 and vitamin D. I'm also going to change my diet to include more meats and protein, and get more iron in my diet. She also recommends to massage your scalp with oil immediately before you shampoo your hair. as tempted as I am to go back to these vitamins I think about it twice since I'm stuck with this permanent mark on my forehead. These vitamins are delicious but they contain a lot of vitamin a which I think is the culprit for my cystic acne. I've seen other reviews on here talking about cystic acne so I guess I'm not alone. Wishing you the best and I hope you have a better experience than I did.
My hair did grow but I didn't like the side affects
So it was awesome because over time my hair felt like it was growing and it was... But I was very moody, hair was breaking off, and I overall didn't feel like myself. For some odd reason it was really affecting my "mood" I had random mood swings... and didn't feel happy most days. Which btw isn't like me at all, I'm naturally a really happy person, so I was noticing this. I've been off it for a month and definitely see a change. I'm not moody like I was when I was eating the gummies. My hair didn't break as easy, and I swapped to another brand that doesn't effect my mood. Which is real nice😂😂
Wouldn't Recommend
I bought this product just like most to see what the hype was about. Tons of influencer's promote this product so I wanted to see if they actually worked. After having a child I suffer from hair loss so I was desperately trying to find something when I noticed so much fallout especially in the front where it was visible. I bought these hoping they'd help with the hair loss and faster growth. I didn't find that these worked for me. They are over priced and I didn't notice a difference. I switched to a collagen and after 2 weeks I notice a huge difference. Everyone's experience is different but for me after a year of using this product I would never go back.
quite interesting, other options available, buyers beware.
this has been a very controversial product. I gave some to my 10 yo cousin and they are very childproof. I found myself hooked on the taste more than anything else. however, I tried the new salmon ones and it seems these are the top competitor to Tati Westbrook's kiwi and other lines. when I spoke to a living proof representative, she recommended their hair supplements for $48, because it's less calories on sugar, but I returned those because they felt like legit pills to swallow. my nutritionist believes I may be allergic to bamboo after an interesting outing where I broke out in hives. I've been trying to go plant-based vegetarian for a long time, so for now, I am not repurchasing these. in the recent controversy that broke YouTube, some medical student, kaur_beauty commented that these may or may not have lead in them. I looked at my bottle and interestingly, it does not explicitly state on my bottle that this is the case. I've been helping my cousin buy infant formula and vitamins since his mom passed away and my nutritionist/chiropractor has prescribed these interesting vegetarian daily vitamins that I'm trying to finish. bottom line, unless you need rogaine or are dealing with legit bald spots, don't fix what ain't broke. it's seriously sad that the FDA allows influencers to influence the mind of young children these days. As someone who is looking to set my 30s off right, I stopped messing around with fad miracle cures just because there is a pretty face to back up the claims or someone with an MD or PhD to stamp their stamp of approval on it. this is the biggest issue with the cosmetic industry these days and the FDA approval needs to be stricter before we pass these off to children.
Not Worth the Breakouts
These gummies are super cute and taste yummy. I really liked them, especially because they also contain Vitamin B12 which gave me a great energy boost. Honestly couldn't tell if they were helping my hair or not because I was so distracted by all the acne it caused. I normally don't have large, cystic pimples but these made me break out in them all over my forehead and scalp. Every day I would get a bunch of new, painful scalp acne, as well as a mess of cystic acne on my forehead. I wanted to believe it was just hormones so I kept taking them, making it progressively worse and worse. After about a month of not taking them and my skin has finally returned to normal. So disappointed, really wanted to like these.
