10 Months Later: My Honest Thoughts on FermaGlo

Ten months ago, I cautiously tried a new hair care line called FermaGlo.

At the time, I was hopeful… but hesitant.

After years of autoimmune issues, food sensitivities, and trying to clean up the ingredients in both my food and personal care products, I had become extremely careful about what I used on my body.

And honestly, after dealing with post-COVID hair loss and thinning, I wasn’t interested in experimenting with products that made big promises.

I wanted gentle.
I wanted clean ingredients.
And most of all, I wanted consistency.

Now that I’ve used FermaGlo for almost a year, I felt like it was finally time to share my honest experience.

What First Got My Attention

What originally caught my interest wasn’t flashy marketing.

It was the people behind it.

A longtime friend of mine, a salon owner, several business partners, and scientists, created FermaGlo with a focus on fermented hair care and cleaner ingredients.

As someone already trying to remove harsh chemicals from my life, the idea immediately intrigued me.

Before launch, I watched people try the products during small “wash parties,” and the reactions were hard to ignore.

People kept talking about how their hair felt:

  • lighter

  • softer

  • cleaner

  • healthier

And eventually, my curiosity won.

The Subscription Thing Matters to Me

Before I ordered, I had one major question:

“Is this another forced subscription company?”

Because I’ll be honest, I strongly dislike pressure-based marketing.

I don’t want products showing up automatically that I didn’t ask for, and I don’t believe customers should feel trapped into monthly purchases.

Thankfully, FermaGlo doesn’t operate that way.

You order what you want, when you need it.

That alone made me much more comfortable trying it.

What I Noticed Personally

I started with:

  • the shampoo

  • conditioner

  • and scalp serum

One of the very first things I noticed was how clean my scalp felt — but not stripped or dried out.

My hair also felt lighter.

Not coated.
Not heavy.
Just… healthier.

Over time, I noticed I wasn’t needing to wash my hair as often, which was a huge change for me.

And after several months, I began seeing something that genuinely encouraged me:

new growth.

For someone who had experienced hair thinning and shedding after COVID, that meant a lot.

Why Fermented Hair Care Is Different

One of the things that separates FermaGlo from many traditional hair products is its use of fermentation.

Fermentation helps ingredients break down into smaller forms that are easier for the scalp and hair to absorb.

The result is a product that feels gentler, cleaner, and more balanced overall.

As someone trying to avoid unnecessary toxins and harsh ingredients, that approach aligns well with the lifestyle changes I’ve made over the last several years.

Ten Months Later

Today, after 10 months of using FermaGlo consistently, my hair is:

  • healthier

  • brighter

  • less frizzy

  • and noticeably stronger feeling

Even my natural white hair seems to have more life to it again.

And perhaps the biggest compliment of all?

People comment on my hair again.

Not because it looks “styled.”
But because it looks healthy.

Final Thoughts

The beauty industry can sometimes feel overwhelming.

There are endless promises, harsh ingredients, and products focused more on quick appearance than long-term hair health.

What I appreciate about FermaGlo is that it feels different.

Cleaner.
Gentler.
Less pressure.
More intentional.

And for me personally, it has earned a permanent place in my routine.
