I started taking kelp supplements in August this year and so far I can attest to it's ability to help me lose weight and my hair does appear thicker. I believe it is growing in faster as well. As a matter of fact, in August my hair was just touching my shoulder and now I am 2" from APL, which is a lot fastergrowth than before I did my BC in April this year.
I will keep a closer eye out for my hair's length in the next 3 months, but for now, losing the weight faster and easier is a big plus for me. My skin is super smooth and I my immunity to colds and flus seem to be a 100% better too. I have been around a lot of sick people in September and October and I did not get sick at all. I was so sure I would have gotten ill too but I didn't.
I will take short breaks with it however so my system doesn't become to accustomed to it. Or I'll look into getting some NOW brand kelp powder to sprinkle over my food
