I was contacted by the PRITEVA team a few months ago to see if I would be interested in reviewing their hair supplement. I agreed to try it out and they sent me a two month supply from the states. If you have been following the blog for a while, you know that I have only ever tried MSM and that was in my leave-in conditioners and oils. I have always been too scared to take Biotin or any supplement with Biotin because of the breakouts that women complain about. Well with a little bit of research I found out that Biotin is best taken with Vitamin C and Zinc to combat the dreaded breakouts. Well, this supplement is packed with both Vitamin C and Zinc and a bunch of other lovely things. Check out the ingredients below.
I decided to start taking this supplement today, November 1st for 30 days. I will be tracking growth (of course), texture changes, nail growth/strength and any changes in my skin (good or bad). Check out my starting pic below.

- Thicker hair
- Longer nails
- Thicker nails
- Clear skin
I'll add a picture of my nails once I get a manicure this weekend. You can't see those bad boys right now. lol
We all know that there is no point in taking a bunch of hair supplements if you don't have a stellar hair regimen to go with it. So here is my hair regimen for the next 30 days.
Daily:
- Moisturize using the L.O.C. Method (L=Liquid (water) O=Oil C=Cream or Conditioner)
- Apply castor oil to scalp
- Baggy overnight
- Protective style at least 5 days a week (twists, bun or weave)
- Drinking 2 liters of water
Weekly:
- Co-wash twice a week
- Deep condition twice a week (alternate protein and moisture)
End of Month:
- Clarifying shampoo
- Deep Condition
- Flatiron for a length check
Be sure to check out the PRITEVA website if you are interested in purchasing the supplement. This company is based in the states, but the customer service is pretty good and I'm sure they can give you all the info on shipping to South Africa.

I received the same vitamins about a month ago but I haven't tried taking them yet as I couldn't find much info. It'll be good to know your experience of them and whether they actually help with growth
ReplyDeleteLesley, please contact us with any questions or concerns. We would be more then happy to answer them.
DeleteHi Lesley, I'll be sure to let you know what happens and what I think.
DeleteDo you have any supplement or any medicine for my very thin hair? I really wanted to have a beautiful and super thick hair.

I take Priteva Supplements and i have had good results. I noticed stronger and faster nail growth first. Nails feel rock hard. I heard about them from LHCF.
ReplyDeleteI have noticed better and clearer looking skin, thinking that may be due to the Aloe Vera , Vitamin A and C because I am not drinking any more water then I normally drink. My hair is cornrowed and it has grown maybe .75 inches since I began taking Priteva supplements 2 weeks ago, so at this rate I should get 1.5 inches this month!
That is good enough for me.
Hi Candice, it's encouraging to know that you have had positive results. I'll be sure to post mine.
DeleteAwesome! Thanks for the link. Looking forward to reading your honest review. Please contact us with any questions or comments.
