Karolina's Story
"I’ve struggled with my hair for my whole life. I wasn’t gifted super thick locks to begin with (thanks, genetics), but the combination of harsh medications to treat Crohn's Disease and rapid weight loss certainly doesn’t help. To make matters worse, a few years ago I was seduced by the cliche of chopping my hair after a breakup. On good days, it was adorable. But it also meant I needed to suffer through the process of growing it out once I was tired of sporting a bob.
Certain things like biotin supplements and regular trims definitely helped me grow my hair back, but introducing Virtue products into my routine truly was the turning point. Now I have the healthiest — and soon to be longest — hair I’ve ever had. I'm not one to shill for companies but if I didn't tell you how much Virtue has changed my hair (and in a way, my life) I'd feel like I was keeping a secret that could help so many people!
Of course everyone wants healthy hair, but for a chronically ill person it's an indication of your health. And sometimes, no matter how much you've accepted your illness, you just want to feel "normal." Virtue helped me do that.
Recently I went home to visit my parents for the holidays. My mother started running her fingers through my hair and tucked a lock behind my ear while her eyes began to well up. "You have your hair back," she said, knowing just how long I had fought my insecurity.
And that's just it. Unlike extensions or mousses that tout volume, Virtue products actually change the makeup of your hair instead of adding product or accessories to mimic a full, healthy mane.
Perhaps that's the best part — it's 100 percent you."
