Does Nutrafol Really Work? Here’s my Before and After Review (Not Sponsored)

Any recommendations posted on my website are my honest reviews, but links may be affiliated meaning I earn a commission *at no cost to you*.

In November of 2022, I sat looking in my bathroom mirror – internally panicking about my hair.

I had recently had Covid, so I chalked it up to “covid hair” hoping that it would pass … but thinning hair runs in my family. I’ve had many spells before where my hair would fall out, but it had gotten worse.

I felt hopeless and I didn’t know what to do. One day I was sitting on my couch watching Hulu and the Nutrafol commercial popped up. You know, the one where the lady is driving down the road and her hair is blowing in the wind? Tacky. Eh, I’ll just look it up.

After browsing I nearly passed out while looking at their website. If you know me (obviously you know part of me, as you are on a couponing website) you know that we don’t pay full price for anything over here. Well… until now.

I didn’t want to. I felt as if it were against my RELIGION to pay that much for a hair supplement. $88 for a bottle … a 30 day supply? YIKES. 😬

At this point I felt as if I had no choice. Pay the $88 a month and try it for the first three months to see if it would at least help, it would be better than going bald, right?

The problem was, this was part of a subscription service where payments automatically come out of your bank account. Uh, yeah no. I looked other sites to see if there was any available on an independent site – lo and behold, I found it on big A. Amazon sold them and at the same price. I bought one bottle, and didn’t look back.

My pre-Nutrafol hair

So yeah, there’s this. It’s hard for me to put this on the internet because it’s obviously embarrassing. My hair was thinning, especially around the temples. No matter what, every time I would shower or brush my hair, GOBS of hair would come out in my hands. I was shedding everywhere, and my vacuum cleaner suffered because of it too. My husband had to cut my hair out of the bottom of the vacuum cleaner almost every three days.

Month One

The first month is the hardest because even though it is unrealistic – you want results immediately.

The package comes with 120 supplements – and you have to take four a day. The pills are a bit bigger than regular Tylenol and can be a bit hard to swallow – so I would take two at a time, then repeat a second time. They have a bit of a weird metallic taste, but it’s nothing overbearing. I put mine in one of those pill holders and would prep them weekly (you know, the Sun – Sat holder that most elderly people use) and would take them with my other daily medicine.

Though I didn’t see too much of a drastic change in the first month, my hair shedding did slow down.

Month Three (Because I forgot a Month Two Photo)

Sorry that this picture sucks – I forgot to take a photo during the second month because well, I’m a mom of two. I can barely remember what day it is most of the time.

Anyways, by this time my hair shedding has drastically slowed down. My hair was NO LONGER coming out when I washed my hair, brushed it, or clinging to any surface it could find.

My thinning spot had also started to fill in a bit where my hair shedding had decreased. When filming Tiktok videos, I was beginning to notice sprouts of hair that were now shooting out of my head like Easter grass!

Month Four

I’m writing this during my most current month – month four. The baby hairs are still sprouting (though most of them are gray and mighty! 😶‍🌫️), the shedding has stopped almost completely, and my thinning spot is starting to fill in.

I know most people would think, “Oh! I can still see her scalp, there isn’t much of a difference!” But friend… I would never lie to you. 1,000% with confidence I can say that I CAN TELL A DIFFERENCE IN MY OWN SCALP, even if you don’t see it – and that’s fine!

I see what you may not. I can see that my hair is no longer coming out in gobs in the shower. I can see the difference in my hair brush when I brush it. I can see that my vacuum is no longer getting clogged and not picking up anything because of my long hair. I can see that my hair line is finally starting to fill back in. I can see all of these alien antennas on my head sticking out where my hair is starting to grow back. I. Can. See. It.

The Finale

Is Nutrafol really worth it? YES. YES. A MILLION TIMES YES. The key to this product is consistency and patience (which I struggle with, admittedly).

I am only on month four – but I am going to keep taking it for a few more months. I truly believe if you want to find something that’s going to help with hair shedding and growing your hair back, this is the product to invest in.

If you’re willing to give Nutrafol time and consistentency, I truly believe this is something worth trying. I will update you all and add to this article over the next few months.
