For years in Seventeen Magazine`s ads section,
there`s been this picture of a woman with very
long hair and it says that there`s this product
that lengthens your hair (by stretching the
strands I believe.) It`s supposed to even be safe
for chemically processed hair, and it`s VERY cheap.
Sounds WAY too good to be true, or is it? Anyone
have experience with this product. Is it really
safe?

Nothing makes your hair grow more fast. It has it`s own natural hair growth rate. The ad in Seventeen is a scam. Don`t fall for it.

Must be from the makers of that pill that lets you lose 10 pounds in an hour :)

I suppose you could tie some weights to your hair and get the same effect.

Either way, I`m sure the tried and true method of waiting and taking good care of your hair can`t hurt and surely must be cheaper (and less painful) than using other means.

Those ads crack me up...I`ve seen that one and of course, if it were really a true miracle product, it would fly from the ad pages in the very back of Seventeen to the cover for a feature on this amazing product. :-/

I know Sebastian has a shampoo/conditioner line called Spandex. It`s supposed to lengthen your hair by stretching it. Can we say giant wad of BS?

Magazines do not control the ads in them. They do not try out the products unless they say they did. All they care about is if the company who places the ad pays them.

In other words the magazine sells space. If you buy that space you can put whatever you feel like.

If you buy something its Buyer Beware. You are not buying that product from the magazine and it was your choice to buy that product. Therefore the magazine will not claim any responsibility. If you want to find out more about this then check around where you live. Your country, state, or city might have different laws.

Very sceptic comments. How about B-vitamins, MSM or H37 then? Many people have been using those and been measuring their hair growth and have noticed that that stuff has given more length to their hair. Are all hair vitamins just cheating?

How can you "cheat" when you are nourishing your body?

Good point, wittils. I view supplementation as dietary assistance to good health. Not everybody can afford to hire a personal dietician. Good health manifests itself in several ways, healthy hair growing from the roots being one of them.

And FWIW, I am very skeptical of the claims made by the product advertised in the back of those magazines. I've seen the pictures they use. I strongly doubt that the model grew her hair long by using the product.
