Hi Erin, you talked about sugar bear hair in your podcast. I am curious to know if it actually works?! I know you aren’t sponsored so figured your opinion would be helpful. I struggle with very fine and straight hair. No body and my pony tail is often a little stick! Thanks for your inspiring and informative podcasts too!
Susan
Hi Susan! Thanks so much for tuning in! My hair was really fragile after having two kids and I felt like I couldn’t get it to grow without the ends all splitting off. I’ve been taking Sugar Bear Hair gummies for almost 3 months and I can definitely notice a difference in the strength of my hair and especially my nails. My nails are SO strong and growing really fast. My hair also feels way healthier but I’ve also been careful about not wearing elastic bands and have been doing some deep conditioning. I asked my hair dresser and she said 70% of your hair health is what you are born with but 30% is your internal wellness and how you treat it. So LOVE the hair you have, treat it well and let your confidence radiate knowing you are beautiful no matter what your hair looks like! That’s the truth. xo – erin
Hi Erin! Thanks so much for the awesome
Feedback! I appreciate your kind words. I bought a new shampoo from Victoria’s health and can’t wait to try it!
Thanks again, you are doing great work
