Getting the perfect hair, skin & nails: Week 4

My hair is so much more thicker!
Ring finger nail is the length the other two nails should be at

It's the last post of my weekly updates on my hair, skin & nails guys! If you haven't seen my previous posts before, I've been taking Perfectil tablets for the past four weeks in an attempt to get thicker hair and stronger nails. I am fine with how my skin is, so that's not my main priority. Since I got my hair cut in December, my hair has been lifeless. My hairdresser cut off my long hair up towards my shoulders - all the thickness was taken away after all of my long layers were cut. I had described and shown, how long I wanted my hair to be, and showed him various pictures, but I said I wanted my hair to be a bit longer than the pictures. He forgot the last bit and just went by pictures. I was mortified. Anyway, I was left with healthy hair to start the process of growing it all back.

My nails were chipping and splitting from winter, and no anti-splitting/chipping polish was working. A few months later, I noticed how my hair was still not thick, and not much longer. I took some other tablets which had biotin and selenium in, two key nutrients that Perfectil boast about. Only, my tablets didn't have enough of it in, and I wasn't seeing any improvements after taking them for a few weeks. So I bought Perfectil Original for Skin, Hair & Nails, a box of 90 tablets. I needed improvement to my hair and nails fast, and while doing so, creating posts for it each week to document the process. (Click here to see all of the past posts)

My hair has improved the most, it is much more thicker than it was a few months ago. I can tell it's getting thicker because of how difficult it's starting to brush my hair in the morning! My hair has grown, but not by much. I switched up my shampoos a lot, so I can't comment on whether L'Oreal's Fibrology shampoo was working. I've noticed a few spots on my scalp near my baby hairs, which I can't help but poke and pick. So I had to use a medicated shampoo for that part of my hair, which  made it go away in a day!

My nails have also gotten a lot stronger. For 2 weeks I used Sally Hansen's Nail Growth serum, which made my nails feel stronger. However, the third week I stopped using it so much, and when taking off nail polish, which normally makes my nails feel weak, my nails felt stronger. It's the forth week now, and I've stopped using it, and my nails still feel strong. I think this is a joint effort of using Nicole by OPI's Strengthener Plus, as well as the serum and the tablets. But after I've taken a hot shower, my nails are still delicate and feel as if they could break any minute.

I'll be continuing taking these tablets, as well as using the nail products, up until I've run out of them. I would definitely recommend these tablets, but only if you remember to take them every day.
