Celebrities view on Viviscal
Jennie Bond former BBC Royal correspondent and TV presenter
As one of TV’s most well groomed presenters, Jennie Bond knows just how important it is to keep up appearances. So when Jennie recently discovered her hair was thinning, she was naturally concerned.
“Like any woman, my appearance is important to me,” says Jennie, “but there’s also the added pressure of looking good in front of the camera too. Wide screen television and high definition hasn’t helped much either as every blemish is now much more on show, so when I discovered that my hair was thinning it made me much more self-conscious about my appearance.
I started noticing a bit of thinness along my parting but it was more recently when I had a fringe cut it really began to show. My mother commented on my hair looking thin at the front.
It made me feel much more self conscious about my appearance and I tried to disguise it as much as possible by sweeping my hair across the thin area. I also grew nervous of brushing my hair too vigorously.”
I tried thickening shampoos but that was a complete waste of money and left my hair looking ghastly. It was then I began to do some serious research and discovered Viviscal.
I’ve always been interested in nutrition and diet and when I heard that Viviscal was drug-free and contains high levels of protein which helps boost the natural regrowth of hair it made sense to me to feed my hair from within. There’s also lots of research to back up the worldwide success rate of Viviscal compared to other hair supplements.
It’s not instant – you really do need to keep taking the supplement for at least three months to see results. After three months of using both the supplement and hair care products I could really see the difference. My hair looks thicker and glossier than it was before and my family has noticed it too. In fact my husband, who has a good head of hair on him, is so impressed that he is also now taking the Viviscal Man supplement to keep his hair looking healthy.
Getting the right information about thinning hair was very reassuring to me. Women feel more under pressure to look good than they have ever done which includes having healthy, glossy hair. If I can help others by sharing my experience of thinning hair and making it less of a taboo subject, then I’m glad to speak out.
I did a lot of research about thinning hair but there needs to be more information to help people generally. The more that thinning hair is brought out in to the open, the less embarrassing it will be to admit to it and the easier it will be for people to find solutions.

I first experienced this devastating problem after I had my twins and then again as I hit the menopause. Experiencing thinning hair is a real shock for any woman and one that is hard to accept. When you start to find a lot of hair on your pillow or in the shower tray it’s terrible absolutely soul destroying. You don’t want to be seen or face the world. You feel all alone – like the only woman on the planet with this problem. And you don’t know what to do.
“My confidence was knocked. I didn’t even want to talk to my husband about it and I got paranoid that people could see why I’d done my hair differently. I just didn’t want to be seen – whether going on stage, picking the kids up from school or even going to the supermarket. But then a friend told me to try a natural food supplement formula and explained how it could provide my system with what it needed to reduce my thinning hair and support the natural regrowth – without having to resort to drugs. After just four months taking two of the supplements a day, I could see and feel the difference.
“Before, my pony tail was as small as a 5 pence piece. After just 4 months, it was as big as a 10 pence piece.
“When I started to talk about my problem, I realised that as many as 1 in 3 women go through the same thing, especially after having children or as they reach the menopause.
“Things have moved on and improved since I first took a hair supplement and now I’m delighted to recommend the original world-renowned Viviscal Hair Nourishment Programme now available in Ireland. The ingredients in Viviscal Maximum Strength include a marine protein which provides the essential nutrients needed to support natural hair growth. I’d recommend Viviscal to anyone with thinning hair.

“Being in the public eye as an expert in fashion increases the pressure to be constantly looking ones best and to look young! After years of visiting the hairdressers and having my hair styled for television etc., my hair was worn and torn, and as I got older it thinned considerably.
“When my husband Ger stopped commenting on how great my hair looked I started to get concerned and I began to notice that my hair was thinning. I had no hesitation when a friend of mine recommended I try Viviscal Maximum Strength. A couple of months on and my hair looks better than it has for over a decade!
Viviscal requires a bit of commitment as it is a six month programme though I started noticing the difference after just three months. Thanks to Viviscal, I don’t worry about thinning hair anymore.”
