Vegamour for Healthy Hair Growth

August 25, 2023 · Leave a Comment

We all want lush, healthy hair. So we fully tested 6 Vegamour GRO products.

  • We used each Vegamour product for the recommended full 3 months.
  • We researched the efficacy of the ingredients in each formulation.

Want to know what we learned? Check out our six-part Vegamour GRO series. We share research on how the ingredients work, show the packaging, and tell our Vegamour experience for each of the six products we tried for this year’s Hair Loss Awareness Month.

Vegamour GRO Hair Serum uses vegan-friendly ingredients to promote hair growth. We independently researched the ingredients and used the serum for the full three months. Stay tuned for our findings!

Skip ahead to the Vegamour Six-Part Series, or read below about what to do if your hair is thinning.

Who Can Benefit from Hair Growth Products

For more than 40% of women, hair thinning occurs with several medical problems, medications, post-partum, post-COVID, and simply with age.

There are a few approaches to hair regrowth. There are fewer vegan options or options for those who wish to avoid chemicals. But there are research-backed, vegan, topical remedies to optimize hair growth.

Why Your Hair Isn’t Growing

The primary enemies to healthy hair growth are:

  1. DHT accumulation on the scalp
  2. Impaired circulation
  3. Scalp inflammation

And a related problem: hair breakage. Your hair is growing, but it is also breaking off. This makes hair uneven, appear thin and unkempt. It gives the overall look of no hair growth progress.

Check In With Your Doctor

If your hair growth pattern is behaving differently, the first thing is to check in with your doctor. It isn’t just your vanity, your hair health can be a clue into your overall health. The vitamin deficiencies impacting hair growth are the same vitamins necessary for your body to function properly.

Bloodwork can rule out some of the usual deficiencies such as low Vitamin D, iron, magnesium, or B12. Any of these can impair hair growth, cause brittle hair, and even cause hair loss. Most of us get enough Biotin from eggs, nuts or fortified foods, but if you are deficient in a key vitamin, that can also cause hair growth issues and hair loss.

A dermatologist can check if any scalp conditions are impacting your hair growth and make some recommendations.

Once these areas have been checked, it is time to consider which topical treatments work and what hair care can optimize your hair growth.

What Ingredients Grow Hair?

There are many ingredients which claim to jump start hair growth. Research shows some do. Some ingredients help some people with certain problems, but won’t help others. It is awfully expensive in both time and money trying to figure out your hair growth problems.

Vegamour uses research backed ingredients within cruelty free, vegan formulations to optimize hair growth without chemicals.

Can all natural ingredients REALLY grow back hair?

We see many testimonials online saying that Vegamour works. So we did our own research into several Vegamour formulations to see what the medical journals say about these ingredients. And we tried the products our for ourselves for the full three months required to see results.

The Vegamour Range

We tested several of the Vegamour products for the full recommended three months. We researched each of the ingredients, and we report our findings on each Vegamour product. Check out our reviews on these products from the Vegamour range:

  • Vegamour GRO Hair Foam
  • Vegamour GRO Shampoo
  • Vegamour GRO Conditioner
  • Vegamour GRO Serum
  • Vegamour Anti-Gray Hair Serum
  • Vegamour GRO Scalp Detoxifying Serum

Check out the ingredients in this stellar vegan lineup, see that oh so pretty packaging, and read all about our experiences with Vegamour!

First in the series is Vegamour GRO Hair Foam

Hair Loss Awareness Month: Doctor Paul J. McAndrews Interview

August 24, 2015 · Leave a Comment

Style Chicks has been covering advances in Hair Restoration for many years now. Back in 2008, we spoke with Doctor Paul J. McAndrews, a prominent advocate for women with hair loss. We thought in honor of Hair Loss Awareness Month, we would republish his comments.


Interview with

Doctor Paul J. Andrews

Hair Restoration Dermatologist


Roy LichensteinThe Style Chicks are thrilled to have Doctor Paul J. McAndrews as a guest columnist today. Doctor McAndrews is a renown dermatologist who specializes in hair restoration. His technique, The McAndrews Method, blends artistry and surgical skill to restore hairlines that are natural looking and have the highest rate of hair follicle survival and growth. Hair loss is a growing issue for women – even young women. This can result from genetic predisposition, emotional stress, and yes, the toll that styling, coloring, and even hair extensions take on our scalps. The McAndrews Method is an exciting option for those looking for permanent hair restoration.

Who Is a Good Candidate for the McAndrews Method?

Here’s what Doctor McAndrews has to say when we asked him what makes a woman a good candidate for The McAndrews Method:

“To put it simply, expectations. The art and science of Hair Transplantation has improved dramatically in the last ten years. But with all of the technological advances that make the procedure virtually undetectable, the one constant throughout this evolution is that there is a fixed and limited amount of donor hair available to transplant into the thinning areas. Heredity hair loss – also called Androgenetic Alopecia or Female Patterned Hair Loss – affects 1 out of 4 women by the age of 50.

While this is significantly less than men – sixty percent of men will have some level of hair loss by the age of 50 – it’s still a very troubling issue for those women affected. For some women, hair loss can become noticeable as early as their 20’s, but hair loss can start at any age and there is a wide range of hair loss patterns that can occur. Women may lose 50% or more of their hair density before it becomes visibly noticeable. Most women experience diffuse thinning across the top of the scalp, while others actually experience a receding hair line similar to a man. Some women will have diffuse hair loss all over their entire scalp. I also work with women who have hair loss as a result of cosmetic surgery, such as facelifts and browlifts. When I evaluate a woman for hair transplant, the first thing I must determine is her hair restoration goals and expectations of what can be achieved. Because there is a limited amount of donor hair available, I have to be sure I use this hair as wisely as possible and The McAndrews Method assures this. For some women, there is just not enough donor hair to return the thinning areas to a satisfactory density which means they may still have a “thinning” look. And since there is a limit to the amount of density I can achieve in a single transplant session, the patient may need more than one procedure to reach their desired density. If your expectations are realistic and you understand the limitations to hair restoration, then you will be a good candidate for the McAndrews Method.

It’s also important not to overlook the value of the medical therapies, in particular Rogaine, in preventing hair loss and in some cases, regrowing hair. For more information, please visit www.McAndrewsMethod.com or call (877) 424-7362.”

We’d like to thank Doctor McAndrews for sharing his expertise! Be sure to visit his website for more information on The McAndrews Method!

Product Review: Hairmax Lasercomb Professional 12 for Hair ReGrowth

August 18, 2015 · Leave a Comment

August is Hair Loss Awareness Month, and Lee is going to introduce us to one of the products she is using for her hair loss!

Well, I finally committed to using the Hairmax Laser Comb Professional 12 for the recommended full 16 weeks to see if it works for me. I have used it sporadically, but now I’m going to use it consistently. It’s been only two weeks since I’ve been using it, so it is too soon to expect any results, but based on what I’ve read, I’m very hopeful. It has been very easy to incorporate into my routine; I typically do it after dinner while watching television.

Before laying down my cold hard cash, I read many user reviews and located online the company’s actual submission to the FDA for approval. It was both interesting and reassuring. In the pre-approval studies, the average increase in new hairs per square inch for the closest situation to mine was 129. In this case, I will be more than happy to be “average,” and the ease of use will make maintenance easy. I’ll keep you apprised of my results along the way!

– Lee
