Who Owns Sugar Bear Hair?
If you’ve been living under a rock here’s the low-down, Sugar Bear Hair was founded in 2016 by Nicole Nightly, a former beauty YouTuber who didn’t find much success in the beauty guru world.
After ending her brief YouTube career, she went on to create Skinny Fox Detox but found her success with Sugar Bear Hair and the rest is history….jk idk if it’s history really but I would say pretty damn impressive.
In just 3 years the brand has reached global recognition because of huge celebrity endorsements like the Kardashians themselves.
What are Sugar Bear Hair Vitamins?
Sugar Bear Hair are naturally flavored (made with Pectin which comes from fruit), chewy hair vitamins. According to the Sugar Bear Hair site, the vitamins are vegetarian, cruelty-free, and made in the U.S.A.
The popular blue tiny bear vitamins are said to help nourish the hair to help it grow thicker, stronger and shinier with regular use.
Many influencers and celebrities alike “swear” by the product but it’s difficult to tell if they really work because of the huge endorsement deals they have, I mean, I’ll swear by them too if I was getting paid $1 million per post.
However, over on the site, the brand has a total of 6444 real reviews and holds a 4.9-star rating, so maybe, just maybe they do work.

What Are the Benefits of Taking Hair Vitamins Daily?
Aside from hair growing longer, stronger and shinier, the Sugar Bear Hair site claims the vitamins stop hair breakage, nourish the hair from within, and improve overall hair health and hair elasticity.
Key Ingredients Used
Upon taking a closer look, I realized the little blue bears are PACKED with vitamins that I personally already take for health purposes.
The sweet gummies contain Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin B-6, Folic Acid, Vitamin B-12, and Biotin all of which are great for hair health! Did I mention they contain no gelatin, no dairy, no gluten.
Since I personally already supplement with B6, B12 and Biotin, I stopped taking those while I was using the Sugar Bear Hair as some vitamins don’t fully absorb into the system if you take too much.
Are There Side Effects?
Upon doing some research, some people I found some people claimed to get stomachaches after taking the vitamins but nothing too crazy was reported.
Some people saw their eyelashes grow stronger and I personally noticed I had to shave more often but I wouldn’t count those as huge side effects.
Pros and Cons
Like any other product on the market, Sugar Bear Hair has its pros and cons. Luckily, the pros far outweigh the cons making this delicious vitamin well worth the splurge in my eyes.
Pros:
- Good taste
- Don’t melt easily
- Vegetarian/ cruelty-free
- Makes hair shinier with regular use
- Hair falls out less
Cons:
- Pricey
- Some people don’t respond to the vitamins
- It takes up to 2 months to see a difference
Is Sugar Bear Hair Worth It?
When all is said and done, I really do believe Sugar Bear Hair made a difference in the way my hair grew.
Before taking the vitamins my hair was a lot duller because of all the dye I use and like any other girl, I shed hair almost daily.
While taking the vitamins I definitely noticed my hair fell out less, it in fact started feeling stronger and I don’t know if it was the shampoo or new hair dye but it indeed looked a whole lot shinier than before.
Did my hair grow much? Not really.
Before I started taking the vitamins I purposely cut and dyed my hair from the roots so I could see if the vitamins made a difference in hair growth. To my disappointment, they didn’t. In the past 2 months, my hair has grown roughly an inch which is standard for hair growth.
One thing I do want to mention is that I didn’t start seeing any benefits to the vitamins until about the two-month mark. My hair had stopped shedding so much almost immediately but strength and shininess didn’t come until about two months in.
Overall, while I’m not too fond of the price point, the vitamins did seem to make a difference in my hair.

I haven’t heard of sugar bear hair until now. I’m using a vitamin for hair, skin and nails at the moment, but haven’t been taking them long enough to notice a difference yet x
I’ve never tried hair vitamins before but have always been curious to try them to see if they actually work. My hair tends to be very dry (from dying it and heat damage) and I experience a lot of breakage so I could definitely use something that would make my hair look healthier and shinier.
I’ve never tried, but I think it’s a great idea, as I get older! I’d love to try this!
I’m not sure if hair vitamins are any good at all.
Would be interesting to try!
I currently use a hair vitamin because I have a big issue with hair loss. I would really love to try these and see if they work better than what I am currently using which is not working so well.

Never tried them myself but after commenting to a friend about how long her hair had gotten so quickly she shared she was taking some vitamins to help hair growth. If they had been vegetarian, I would’ve tried them myself.
I never heard about this until today and I think it’s great
I have tried other hair and skin vitamin brands but not Sugar Bear. I didn’t notice a difference.
I take a vitamin now for my hair cause of a medication I tale makes my hair dry and damaged I would love to try this product.
I feel like Sugar Bear Hair is a scam lol. Celebrities only promote them because they offer a huge amount of money.
I kind of doubt they would work but who knows for sure? It’d be fun to try them 🙂

I think hair vitamins would be amazing to try

I’ve never tried Sugar Bear Hair and I do take hair vitamins everyday
I would totally give these a try. I tried Halo, so why not these.
I’ve been wanting to try these for awhile! Hoping that they can help my hair get back to how healthy it was before I had our son.
