[QUOTE=Carolredskirt] Pleeeassseeee, do you really trust those hair growing gimmicks? Why not just let your hair grow. Why waste your money on something that is probably harmless but also ineffective.
I mean if that stuff really worked, and was safe to use, don't you believe every long hair expert in the country would be advocating it? (which they are not).
So they are just playing on you.
Save your money, go get a facial, or buy a new pair of earrings, you know there are better ways to spend your money than on a product like that.

I have devoted my life to the study of hair & long hair since 1988.
I personally created HairTopia over eight years ago to address my own hair growth issues. I worked with an award winning chemist for over one year to finalize the formula and to incorporate ingredients that my research showed made a significant difference in hair health and growth. After the product was released everyone at HairBoutique.com took the formula for one year before we released it for sale here at HB. I also had it tested by naturopathic doctors and nutritional experts as well as medical doctors.
The results were documented and most impressive. Several of the HB team members who took the product did not want to grow their hair longer but reported significant & positive changes in their energy, hair and skin. One of the team members complained because he had to get his hair cut so often on the formula. :-)
In the old days humans were able to derive a lot of their nutritional needs from the foods that they ate. Due to a variety of factors the soil has become exhausted and it would take huge amounts of food for humans today to get all the nutrients that they need to achieve optimal health. Which is why so many physicians now prescribe vitamins for their patients.
When the human body is ill or not receiving sufficient nutrition the first thing that losses out is the human hair because the body considers it "non essential for supporting human life" which explains why people have problems growing their hair or having healthy hair if they are nutritionally deficient.
HairTopia was designed first and foremost to provide all the necessary nutrients that humans need to sustain good health. It also includes very specific ingredients that promote hair, skin and nail health.
Because HairTopia is "my baby" I often will tell people who are looking for "miracle hair growth" not to take it. We do not try to mislead anyone or claim that it will grow hair faster or longer than the genetic predisposition. However, it will make a major difference in the health and strength of the hair for the majority of people who take it. And yes, it does help hair start to grow that is stalled in its growth cycle.
We also offer a 45 day money back guarantee because there are people that dismiss hair vitamins as a waste of money without really understanding the importance that they play on a number of levels.
I could go on about the benefits of HairTopia but we have a strict "no advertising" ban on HairTalk and I do not wish to violate it.
Is it better than H37? It depends on who you ask but it is definitely different in a number of ways that I designed it to be based on my own research.
Finally, the reason that we often run out of HairTopia is because it is ONLY ordered with enough lead time to make sure that the product never sits on HB shelves longer than 30 days. Where can you get a guarantee of a vitamin product that is probably less than 14 days old when you take it? Many vitamins sit on health food shelves for over one year. Sometimes over 2 years. The older the product, the less effective it is.
We also provide HT in capsules rather than tablets so that people that have a hard time swallowing pills (as I do) can open the caps and mix with their protein drinks (which I do).
This "as needed manufacturing model" causes some problems because the vitamins are so popular that we often sell out before the next batch is formulated. In fact, at this very moment the Herbals are being blended for delivery to HB next week. The lab we use has received the highest certifications and extensive quality assurance is performed.
While it often upsets me that we run out I feel it is important to only sell the very highest quality that is freshly made on an "as needed basis". We have been asked many times to sell the HT product through many other distributors but refuse because I can not be sure that they will handle the product to my high standards.
I respect that some people believe that hair vitamins are "a gimmick" but after 8 years of personally taking them, talking to thousands of satisfied HT users and growing my own hair currently to 8 inches below my waist (and uber healthy through major life crisis), I personally stand behind the product. If I thought for one moment the product was ineffective, I would not sell it as I would never intentionally "play" anyone.
