i found this on a website and i thought id share so maybe it can help someone trying to grow or mantain their hair. "...Lastly, hair is neither healthy or unhealthy. It is in fact, dead. Else, it would really hurt to cut it. It is the health of the hair follicle below the outer skin that requires nutrients for good health, and no adverse hormonal activity. So, unless you have split ends or chemically damaged hair, the only need to cut the hair is for the look that you want. A few things that you can do to ensure that your hair follicles remain healthy and your hair is undamaged, are: 1. Take an inexpensive daily multi vitamin such as 'One-A-Day' or even 'Flintstones.' Your hair likes zinc and biotin and both of the above mentioned vitmins contain ample amounts of these. Don't waste your hard earned money on 'super vitamins.' Your body only requires so many vitamins per day and simply discharges the excess. You can't put twenty gallons in a ten gallon tank. In some instances, over dosing on supplements can actually be fatal. 2. Do not over brush your hair. With every stroke you damage your hair more. Brush only as much as you need to style the hair, then stop. 3. Buy a good quality brush or comb without sharp plastic or metal ridges. This is one of the common factors leading to split ends, as is over brushing. 4. Don't be penny foolish. Buy good quality http://www.hair-news.com/are-salon-products-better.shtml - salon products . The chemicals used in many if not most of the over the counter shampoos and conditioners, contain very harsh ingredients such as 'ammonium laurel sulfate' which can actually dry your hair out and cause breakage and split ends. Even worse, many contain a 'bad' form of silicon, and that can be very nasty on your hair. 'Pantene' is the worst of these in our opinion. 5. Don't constrict your hair with tight bands, hats, braids and the like. These also lead to split ends and hair breakage." |

Thanks for posting that. I think that you found that on a site that one of the members here has or has posted to. At first glance it might be AnaisSatin or Accolady. Just to clarify, It is great that you posted that even if it does turn out to have been posted before. And in addittion if that is the case that means you or others can ask the author about the info. Which is cool. -------------

I Googled some of the words and I found the site. It's on a site called hair-styles.org or hair-news.com Actually that same article is on a few sites and some have it on them as if it's their own article so who knows who originally wrote it? Anyway, it's still good that you shared it. :) |

No need to apologize because I was wrong about it being written by a
member. I recognized it because I've probably read it before at one of
those sites. In other words I'm confusing you. Please by all means continue to post things like that when you see them. I've been here for a few years so even if it turned out to be a repeat it could be 50 or 100 pages back. |
