Hi Paul,I am a diabetic and an octo-lacto vegetarian (no meat but I eat dairy products) My body and sugar levels have greatly improved after I became one.As with anything you might want to see your doctor about taking any vitamins. You might already be lacking or have excess in one or more and he/she can recommend a good combination that will suit your individual body.If you follow a good veggie diet and exercise on a regular basis, your hair will be better than ever. Mine sure is! I can't believe the difference when I started looking after myself.Best Of Luck!Robin-Ann

If you don't, your hair will suffer. However, beyond normal amounts, extra protein is not going to do your hair any good - the excess will just be excreted. Furthermore, the consumption of excess protein has been linked with the loss of bone mass because calcium is excreted along with the metabolites from the excess protein.There is no need to eat meat for hair growth. Make sure you get enough protein, and the right vitamins and minerals, and your hair will do fine. I'm vegetarian - I have been since before I started growing out my hair - and I don't have any trouble with it. I do eat milk and egg products, but no other animal products. My hair is a little on the dry side, but it has always been that way, even before I gave up meat. (Yes, I was a dry-haired baby, too. That's just the way my hair is. My mother's hair is also dry.)Laura Jane lswanson@sunflower.bio.indiana.edu
Hi Paul,I was vegan and am now predoninately a veg-head. I started eating eating fish once or twice a month a couple of years ago and use eggs (from free range and grain fed happy chickens) in my baking. I don't eat dairy not because I don't like it, but because dairy doesn't like me (bloating). One really excellent book on vegetarianism is Laurel's Kitchen. They have tables in the back with nutritional information on all sorts of food as well as nutritional guidelines. Another fun book is The Farm Cookbook which has lots of high protein recepies as well as lots of pitures of long haired residents of The Farm. Eat lots of whole grains, beans, fruits and vegetables. Include Soy products into your diet and have fun experimenting. There are lots of vegetarian recepies on the web. Just type in vegetarian on a web browser and start printing them off.Remember that a healthy diet is a healthy diet whether you eat meat or not. And eating a healthy diet generally means that you will be a healthy person.
Hi, I was under the impression that red meat and such is good for hair growth because it has so much protein. I don't know where I pulled that from,but I eat alot of meat [which I'm not extremely fond of] for that exact purpose! What's the deal? Amber> I am almost a vegetarian..

I am almost a vegetarian.. I eat some chicken and shrimp very occasionally and find that's getting more rare. My mom is a vegetarian and my daughter. I have eaten all kinds of meat in the past but since going on a lowfat diet and cutting out fats...I opted to cut redmeat out of my diet.(2years ago) Being raised by my mom who didn't eat meat made an impression on me and I had this type of lifestyle imbedded in me as a child. It's always been with me..put it that way and as I have grown older I am tending to be like my mother in that area. My daughter is more strict than I am with meat..she doesn't go out of her way to even eat eggs unless it's french toast or in a cake mix. Both of us have very thick hair..My mom has beautiful hair..it never affected her hair.. she could be a Repunzel of anyone's dreams. Vidal Sasson wanted her for a model in the 60's. I think if you get all the vitamins you need and protein from some source.. you will be fine. I eat alot of soy. You can email me directly about this if you would like.

Hi,This is slightly off topic, so sorry, but are there any vegetarians on the list. I am looking for information and advice on changing to a veggie (or predominantly veggie diet) and would appreciate corresponding with others who successfully have adapted this into their lifestyle.Of course, I would also like to know the impact that it had on their hair growth and condition etc :-) and what steps if any need to be taken to ensure all the vitamins and minerals required are obtained.if this isn't appropriate on the board, please email me directly.Thanks,Paul
