I’m #TeamNatural all the way, so I’m always on the lookout for the best products to keep my curls healthy. Of course, I know that goes beyond the styling products and conditioners that I use!
So, when I was in the market for a hair health supplement, I tried HUM Hair Strong Gummies and Nutrafol to see which had my hair looking thick, shiny, and long. After taking both for a test drive, I can confidently say that one is in a completely different league than the other. Here’s what I found:
If you want longer and thicker hair… HUM
For many people, including myself, holding on to length and density is a challenge! Hair naturally thins as we get older, and it also breaks and sheds because of everything from environmental factors to the way we style and manipulate it. (I know I’m not the only one guilty of over-touching. Curls are just fun to play with!)
While I did see some growth after taking Nutrafol, the length increase and fullness after taking HUM’s Hair Strong Gummies was a lot more noticeable to me. All the curly girls out there know that volume is life, so HUM is the clear winner for me.
If you want to see color improvement… HUM 🌈
This is a big one for me! There’s nothing more satisfying than having gorgeous, bright hair that really pops. This was a huge advantage of HUM when compared to Nutrafol. Let me tell you, my hair color has never looked better after taking HUM’s Hair Strong gummies. My caramel hair color looks shiny and vibrant, and who doesn’t want that, right?
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option… HUM
Both of these brands have a subscription option that allows you to save some money and not have to worry about running out of your stash, but there’s a significant difference in their price. A 30-day supply of Nutrafol will run you $88 before the 10% subscription discount. HUM, on the other hand, is $26 for a 30-day supply and that’s not including the 25% subscription discount. Plus, HUM offers redeemable rewards points and the option to pause your subscription or switch to another HUM supplement at any time.
You definitely get more for your money with HUM and you’re not sacrificing quality or results. Plus, they send free samples with every order. I’m never mad at free stuff!
If you want a gluten-free, vegan option… it’s a tie
I’m very selective about the products I buy. Everything from what I put in my hair to what I put in my body has to be free of ingredients that are harmful, so I was happy to see that HUM’s Hair Strong Gummies are gluten-free and vegan. Nutrafol’s products are also gluten-free, and while their standard Women formulation isn’t vegan, they do have a Women’s Vegan option.
Nutrafol comes recommended by dermatologists and HUM’s hair gummy is formulated by RD Nutritionists, is clinically tested, and validated for purity and quality. With either option, I know I’m getting the highest-quality ingredients, and that makes me feel good about what I’m putting in my body.
If you want a supplement that’s fun to take… HUM
This may be a small thing, but if you want a supplement to be habit-forming, it has to be fun! I’d much rather take 2 of HUM’s strawberry-flavored gummies over Nutrafol’s 4 flavorless capsules. Plus, you can take HUM’s adorable, heart-shaped gummies anytime (read: on-the-go), and with Nutrafol, it’s recommended that you take the capsules with food. 💖
The overall winner is… HUM! ✨💗
When it comes to the supplements you take, you have to go with what works for you. For me, HUM is the obvious choice. The gummies are delicious, they’re easy to take and I saw results much faster than I was expecting!
Plus, I don’t have to break the bank to keep taking them since a month’s supply is less than $20 with my subscription. With HUM, I know I’m getting quality, clean ingredients I can feel good about, and my curls have never looked or felt better!
