The 2-year Hair Grow Out Journey
11/3/2018
My results and documentation on using the Kerotin Capsules.
On Feb. 28, 2017, I started using the Kerotin hair capsules.
I had decided on January 1, 2017, that I was going to stop coloring my hair because it was just too much work to keep up with coloring and mixing six bottles of hair color from a box every three weeks to hide the huge contrast of my roots.
When I started this process, my hair was already long, and I was hoping that I would have the willpower to stick it out and follow through on letting the natural color grow out.
I had just turned 53 years old in October when I began this process.
Using the color change in my hair was a good marking point to show the kind of growth rates that Kerotin capsules help. Without the Kerotin, my hair grew 1/2 inch per month from the first of January, when I stopped coloring, to Feb. 28, as you can see in the first photo with the ruler measurement the day I started using the Kerotin capsules on Feb. 28, 2017.
I also took a photo without makeup to show that my age is valid in this post.
I don't remember taking a photo of the growth measurement in March 2017, one month later, but I did measure and it was just over 2 3/4 inches on the ruler when I did measure that day. So the Kerotin Capsules did help a lot to improve the growth rate and did so by my hair growing at a rate of 1 3/4 inches of growth per month, when before using Kerotin, I was growing hair at only 1/2 inch per month.
To capture the length and new color growth, this photo below was taken September 4, 2017. I don't use the Kerotin Oil and still have it, but I need to start using it for my ends to stay in better shape. I have since cut off roughly 10 inches here and there on the ends to keep my ends from being too thin due to how I wear my hair up all the time. The hair scrunchies would wear the ends down with the way I was tying my hair up. The overall length has never been cut shorter than 5 inches off the ends each time I would trim my hair. You can also see the growth of the white hair was starting to show more to the first few rubber bands.

Now, only using the Kerotin capsules and not using the oil, which would probably help my hair quality so much more, this is the current length and just how far the white has grown out using the Kerotin Capsules daily. I ran out of the capsules for several months before buying another round, but I still notice a big difference when I'm not taking them. Not just in the growth rate but overall as well. So Kerotin Capsules ARE benefitting for not just the hair but for the nails and skin as well.
This photo was taken on October 31, 2017 to show the growth rates of the white hair after stopping coloring.
(Condition of new white hair growth is smooth and sleek while using Kerotin Capsules for 8 months and the color of the old brown box color has a frizzy texture before using the Kerotin.)
The time frame again from this photo to the beginning when I stopped coloring is Feb. 28, 2017 to October 31, 2017, using the Kerotin capsules.
(Photo taken November 6, 2017. 9 months using Kerotin Capsules.)
On October 31, 2018, you can really see the amount of growth using the Kerotin Capsules. Again, I have not been using the Kerotin Oil, but I need to give it a go to see just how it will help with the ends thinning due to the abuse of tying my hair up and being a "Humidity Sponge." My hair is naturally curly but straight because of its length and weight. My hair also has a "Fine hair" texture but is very thick in quantity.
Photo below, taken today, Nov. 3, 2018, with an 18-inch ruler, white hair growth is at roughly 12 inches, minus that 1 inch of growth at the very beginning on Feb. 28, 2017, the day I started taking Kerotin Capsules. So, in 21 months, I am averaging 1.9 inches of new growth per month using Kerotin Capsules. Before using Kerotin capsules, my growth rate was only .5 inches per month. These Kerotin Capsules have increased my hair growth rate per month by 1.4 inches, which is a very substantial difference in growth rates.
If I had not used the Kerotin Capsules, my hair would have grown only about 6 inches total over the 21 months. The Kerotin Capsules really do work very well. Also, there has been no facial or other hair growth in unwanted places at all.
The brown color, which was the last coloring, is fading to a warmer brown. It will be two years old on Jan. 1, 2019. The hair color I was using is from e-Salon.com. Should anyone be looking for a fabulous, at-home hair color system that really lasts and does not harm your hair at all.
As you can see in the photo, the natural white hair has grown dramatically in under two years of using the Kerotin Capsules since starting them on Feb. 28, 2017. It is now November 3, 2018, as I am writing this today.
This is my hair at 54 years old.
My hair is just about to my knees and I have very little "hair on the floor" when brushing it out.
With my results that you can see are documented from the very start to today, taking the Kerotin supplements really does help, dramatically. I usually take them once a day, 2 capsules at once, with my vitamins in the late afternoon / evening.
So in closing, the Kerotin Capsules alone have made really great progress for me and as mentioned before, I still have yet to use the Kerotin Oil. I will begin to do the oil regimen and do a photo and date "before and after" shots to see how the Kerotin Oil improves the body of the hair for the humidity issue and the overall condition of the body of hair in the longer sections and ends.
I am also going to try the Kerotin Shampoo and Conditioner, as soon as I can order it and will post on that, also.
Thanks so much,
Debora Nash

This image is the very last of the old box brown color that I cut off to finish this hair documentation. I cut it off on November 5, 2021.
This was a day out in the sunlight with the all-white, virgin, natural hair. I was really bright in the sun, to say the least.
This day was November 26, 2021, with the natural curl doing its thing.
