Contains effective ingredients like biotin and folic acid
Hairburst Cons
Pills are large/hard to swallow
Complaints about the smell of the pill
Expensive
Vegetarians should know, contains collagen and gelatin
Note: Supplement facts are NOT listed on their website
Hairburst is a UK-based company that was previously known as "HairVits." They sell vitamin supplements that promote hair growth. Hairburst contains effective ingredients such as biotin and folic acid, but unfortunately for vegetarians, it also contains collagen.
Customer complaints are mainly about the size of the pills which makes it difficult to swallow. Some have also commented on the bad smell. The dosage is 2 capsules per day, so they need to be enjoyable to take for better user experience. I agree with the customer reviews because I could not take the pills consistently due to these reasons.
As a side concern, the supplement facts are not listed on their website. To find the supplement facts, I had to rely on users who posted photos of their Hairburst bottle and a third party site that typed out the supplement facts. I believe that it is irresponsible for a company to not have supplement facts available on the website. If someone wanted to consult with their doctor before taking these vitamins, they wouldn't have an easy way to provide a label.

Hairfinity is a vitamin supplement that helps with hair growth. While it does contain effective ingredients such as biotin and folic acid, it also contains ingredients that can be harmful to your body and to the hair growth process.
Horsetail is not a recommended ingredient to include in multivitamins. According to WebMD, horsetail is possibly unsafe when taken by mouth long-term.
Consuming horsetail can cause your Vitamin B1 levels to drop. This is because Horsetail contains a chemical that breaks Vitamin B-1 down, causing a deficiency. If you don’t get enough B-1, you can experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing, heart damage, mental sluggishness, and hair loss. Having Horsetail in a vitamin that's supposed to promote hair growth is counterproductive. This may be why many Hairfinity users are reporting hair loss over time.
Hairfinity also contains substances that come from animals such as collagen and gelatin. This is not a vegetarian-friendly vitamin.
Based on my experience as well as customer reviews, the vitamins are large and smelly, making them hard for a lot of people to take consistently. The smell could be due to the fact that ingredients that derive from animals degrade quickly, and therefore smell bad. This could be said about Hairburst as well.
