Why Katie Swapped Pills for Hot Chocolate
Originally shared in 2017. Katie's words, lightly edited for length.
Katie tried every hair product she could find — serums, oils, home remedies, tablets. She gave up on all of them. Here's what happened when she tried drinking one instead.
“I even had a period where I tried using tablets, but I'm not a fan of pills at all.”
Katie's story
I've always been self-conscious about my hair. Then, 2 years ago, I had the brilliant idea to bleach it myself (ladies: don't try this at home!). As you can imagine, the results were horrifying. Eventually I had no choice but to face my fears, bite the bullet and hand my head over to a hairdresser. When I came out my hair was just beneath my shoulders and I felt completely naked.
Desperately, I started trying everything — serums, coconut oil, macadamia, and even made-up home remedies involving different kinds of oils and eggs and all sorts of things that sometimes seemed to defy the laws of physics. I even had a period where I tried using tablets, but I'm not a fan of pills at all. I was honestly starting to give up all hope…
Then, one day, I was browsing through Facebook and one of my friends had tagged me in a post about a hot chocolate called ‘Cocoa Locks.’ Ladies, if you've been through the same things I've been through, then you'll understand how skeptical I was. However, I decided to wing it and went ahead and bought a 3 month program (with a hefty discount, courtesy of the spinning wheel).
I am a bit of an impatient person (well… more like extremely, but who's counting, right?) and I had given up on all the previous magic treatments — tablets, concoctions, magic serums, you name it.
Three months later
Fast forward to 3 months later and here I am, sitting in front of my laptop, writing this review with a steaming hot mug of hot chocolate by my side. I now walk with my head held high and shoulders straight. I'm more confident and definitely happier. Needless to say I now preach it to anyone who will listen. Long live the Cocoa Team!
What's actually in it
Cocoa Locks is a daily hot chocolate — or a chocolate milkshake, if you'd rather — with biotin, zinc and selenium stirred in.
- Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and normal skin
- Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, skin and nails
- Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and nails
- Folate contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and has a role in the process of cell division
