Hair La Vie

I have read reviews of Hair La Vie. Some reviews say that the product does not really work.

But it does. I had long hair when I started taking the vitamins, but it got even longer. My hair was about midway down my back when I started taking the vitamins. After three months, it was growing past my waist.

I personally never noticed a change in the thickness, but others complimented my "thick, shiny hair. " One lady even asked how I got my hair like that because the portion of my hair between where the growth had started (midway down my back), and the new growth past my waist, was curly and shiny. Maybe she thought I used a curling iron or something to achieve that look because she kept asking repeatedly, "how do you get it to look like that?"

But I had done nothing to it. In fact , I was usually in a hurry to get to work. I would only wash my hair, comb it, and go. So after she asked those questions I started to realize that yes, the vitamins DID actually work.

Thank you Hair La Vie.

In January of 2016, I had come to the conclusion that I would be bald and started purchasing wigs to at least retain some bit of "normalcy." I had a thyroid condition that was causing major problems in my body including severe, uncontrollable, hair loss.

After having a thyroidectomy on 4/9/2016, I decided that I would give Hair La Vie a try because I had nothing to lose as they offer a full money-back guarantee. At that time the hair from the crown of my head was measuring 1/2 to 3/4 inches in some areas. The front of my hair measured 2 and 1/2 to 3 and 1/4 inches. I began taking the Hair Revitalizing Blend capsules twice-a-day, one with my breakfast and another about 6 pm with my dinner. I also purchased the Moroccan oil, shampoo, and conditioner from Hair La Vie and couldn't be much happier! My hair is soft and easy to manage. I don't have to relax it nearly as often, and it doesn't shed close to retouch time like it did before.

The hair in the back is 5 and 1/3 inches, and the front is 6 and 1/2 inches. My family and friends have all noticed and commented on how healthy, bouncy, thick and alive my hair looks and how amazed they are at the hair growth. I'm on bottle number 8, and I'm going to place an order for my mother. I can't even begin to express the gratitude I have for the people at Hair La Vie for such amazing products that ACTUALLY work!

Stick with it because you may not begin to see results until the third month, especially if you have extreme hair damage like mine. The hair goes through a healthy change that takes time initially, but hair growth actually begins about the third month, so be patient.

I've used Hair La Vie vitamins for the past nine months. Which means that I've re-ordered the product three times now. I've never tried to return a product so I'm not sure how that process works personally. However, I can say that I have noticed longer eyelashes and my eyebrows grow back much quicker after threading. I've also experienced significant hair growth on my head. Unfortunately, I cut my hair very short about six months ago. So my hair could be growing rather quickly just by virtue of it being so much shorter than it used to be. At any rate, based upon my eyelashes and eyebrows, I think it's the product that's helping my hair to grow. So I continue to use the product religiously. And I always wait until there's a sale on the product and buy 3 to 6 bottles at a time. My last purchase was three bottles for $70 during their Black Friday sale.

I have somewhat long hair and it takes almost a quarter of the expensive bottle to come close to covering my hair. Most sulfate free shampoos that I have used I can use a quarter size glob in my hand to do the job. My hair, after rinsing the shampoo out was like straw, I couldn't get my fingers through it without causing breakage. The conditioner was okay and once I could get it in my hair, was nice. Smelled good and you could feel the mint oil tingle. It does take a long time to rinse it thoroughly, twice the normal time, but it did make my hair soft and manageable. So keep the conditioner, throw out the shampoo.

This review is based on the customer service I received during the return process.

Return advice: Make sure you send the product back within the ninety-days to receive a refund. You have to contact customer service and wait for them to email you a return authorization code. I would also recommend putting insurance on the package and requesting a signature. They take their time processing returns. Be prepared to wait at least a month for a refund.

Hair La Vie has absolutely the worst customer service department. Very rude and condescending.

I contacted customer service to request a return shipping label because two orders were processed without my knowledge or consent. I placed one order for six bottles of the hair vitamins. I initially was going to purchase three bottles and backed out of the order without hitting the final select button to confirm the order because there was an offer at the end of my purchase to upgrade to six bottles for an additional $50.00. Before I confirmed the upgrade I wanted to speak to a friend to see if she wanted to split the order. I decided to order six bottles instead of the original three. I got back online and placed the order. Did not think anything of the order until I reviewed my bank statement and noticed two charges. One for $107.00 and a second charge for $160.00.

No big deal (so I thought). I contact customer service and request a return label for the unauthorized purchase. Instead of being greeted with a "we see you are a repeat customer" and a "sorry for the inconvenience, we will be happy to mail you a return shipping label," I spoke to Angela who stated "we would rather lose you as a customer and have you return both orders at your expense than send you a return shipping label for the extra order."

Very disappointing. And the worst part about the situation is when I tried to contact someone else within the company I get Angela over and over.

I am not sure if this company values their, customers, but Angela is terrible for business and terrible to deal with.

I took my business to another natural vitamin company whose product is very similar to Hair La Vie and they do not have an Angela there to send condescending emails to customers. And they actually appreciate customer feedback and handle issues with orders promptly and without a nasty attitude.

You mentioned the reviews of this product on the Hair La Vie site were not unbiased. Well, here is my unbiased review. I tried this product yesterday for the first time. I am 68 and I have long coarse, curly silver hair. I have to set it in large rollers, air dry it, and then flat iron it to get it to be manageable. I had been using Wen, ran out of it and used some drug store brand and it started getting really unmanageable. I went back to re-order Wen when I read about Hair La Vie. I was blown away. I used the shampoo, conditioner and Moroccan oil as directed. Never, and I mean never has my hair felt this soft and manageable as well as shiny (without using shine spray). I went to get a massage later that day and my massage therapist said to me, "Oh my gosh your hair is so soft." I've never seen it like that. So there you have it. I am sold. Whether or not it helps my hair grow (as it is thinning) is irrelevant to me. It does great with what I have.

I experienced hair loss due to DHT and I know this for sure because I went to a dermatologist and had a scalp analysis done and that was the verdict. My hair had stopped growing altogether. I performed extensive research and tried several different hair growth vitamins to no avail. I saw Hair La Vie advertised on my Facebook page and noticed that it said it had all natural ingredients and since I was desperate for my hair to grow back I gave it a try. I can sincerely say that I noticed my hair start growing back fuller and healthier after about a month and a half. I went from near baldness to a full head of hair after about 10 months. I have been taking Hair La Vie vitamins and will continue to take them because they are the only vitamins thus far that I have found that actually work for me. I would recommend them to anyone suffering hair loss, even men who experience DHT and baldness.

I tried the shampoo, conditioner and the hair masque. I was very pleased with the hair masque, however, I was very unhappy with how much shampoo I had to use to just to get a good lather going. (The bottles are extremely tiny for the price, BTW.) I decided to return the shampoo and conditioner because I felt they were way too expensive for the amount I was using. I followed Hair La Vie's instructions regarding returns and a refund. I returned the shampoo and conditioner over 6 weeks ago, and as of today, I have not received a refund. I have emailed the company a dozen or more times, with zero response, and still no refund. VERY dissatisfied with this company! Even though I really liked the hair masque, I will not buy from them again. I have been ignored, and I am still wondering if I will ever receive a refund.

I have used many products to get my hair to grow back, too many to name. Hair La Vie is the only one that is actually doing the job. I have been using the vitamins, restore, and revive and I can actually see the difference. Thanks for a wonderful product. I will continue to use it because of the results I saw.

Great article. I really like how you guys always break everything down.

I have had a problem with thinning hair for about 10 years now. As I've aged, it's definitely gotten worse. I tried the foam stuff you put on your scalp, but it burned something fierce. And I used Hairfinity for less than a month because I was breaking out.

I was really skeptical and did a lot of research on this. I looked at all the reviews on YouTube and Google. I checked out their website and liked the ingredients. I liked that it's natural and they donate to charity and whatnot, so I decided to give it a go.

I've been using their vitamin for about seven months now. My shedding stopped after about a month and a half of using it, and I began to see really thick, new growth at around two months. Everything I read said it takes time for the hair to be repaired and re grow. The first thing I noticed though, was that my scalp felt real clean and nice. I was so happy I could cry, and to be fair I did at one point. My hair is growing in stronger than it has in years, and I really do believe these vitamins have helped. I can put it up again without having to worry about my edges being too thin, or too much scalp showing. I can't tell you how great that feels. I'm actually looking forward to summer again, and so much so, that I started using their argon oil serum, and just got the shampoo as well.

I noticed you said that it's impossible for the shampoo to stop hair loss, but you're not accounting for the fact that the ingredients include the natural DHT blocker saw palmetto. That ingredient alone (I learned in all my research) is why I tried the vitamin. I read a study that DHT is a big part of hair loss, and the saw palmetto helps to stop the DHT from killing the hair roots. I think it can stop hair loss, maybe not as strong as the vitamin does, but none the less, I enjoyed my first few washes with it, and will report back in a few months with my full results.

As for the argon repair serum stuff, I really enjoy the smell. It smells like fresh linens or something, and I always put it on my hair last because it makes the frizz go away. It also leaves a soft feel and shine. I don't really know how much repair it does but I really enjoy it.

So far all my interactions with their customer service has been good. I call them and ask questions sometimes, and Sarah is always there to answer. The shipping seemed to take the normal amount of time, and I suggest you join their email list because they have a lot of sales and stuff, so I get my vitamins and whatnot when they are on sale.

My only complaint is that I do wish they sold bigger bottles of the vitamins. I can buy three or six bottles, and save money that way, but it just seems like it would make more sense to sell more pills in one bottle, right? Save some plastic, maybe this is something they can think about for the future. I might try the other products in the future, but for now I really am happy with the product and company.
