Or is your best friend’s cousin’s school friend pulling one on you?
Open Instagram, set a timer for two minutes, and see how many pictures you can find of celebrities, influencers, and ex-best friends from high school endorsing hair vitamins as the greatest thing to happen to the beauty world since dry shampoo.

After a few months of taking them, your hair can (supposedly) look silkier, shinier, thicker, and longer than usual, and your scalp’s oil production can speed up or slow down, depending on which kind you take.
