Many questions:
The Hot Oil massage:
-When you do this, what kind of oil is it?
Olive Oil, that you use to bake?
Coconut Oil, which is normally used for your skin?
Or some kind of oil you get off of the internet that comes from another planet and costs a bazillion dollars?
- Also, how do you go about doing this?
Do you pour a cup of it into a pan until it is hot and then pur it all over your hair while rubbing it in?
Do you put a cup of it in the microwave for a minute or how long, and do the same as above?
Do you warm it up in some way or make it boiling hot?
Once its hot or warm or whatever do yu just put the Oil in your hair or do you mix it with something?
If you mix it with something, what would it be? Shampoo, conditioner, water?
There are other ways for hair growth out there too.
Such as vitamins:
I've heard of Hair, Skin & Nails:
-has anyone ever tried this before?
Did it work well with them/ you?
[continuing from previous question above]
I've also heard that hair Skin & Nails, it takes about 2 months to see significant hair growth? This true also??
-Horse Shampoo:
I've heard this works very well also.
What do is it in the Horse shampoo that makes hair grow faster than normal?
Should I use this to help also?
-Birth Control:
Now I've heard that taking pre-natal vitmains helps your hair grow so much. But someone once told me that if you crush up birth control pills and put them into yuor shampoo that it works well also. Is this true? Is there something else to it?
And for everyone else who would like to tell me abuot a nutritional diet and fruits and vegetables, and iron and excersize. And massaging yur head for good blood flow. I know all of this already so you don't have to tell me. I'm already working on those things.
[not to be rude, I reread that, and it does sound rude but I don't know how else to put it that I already know]
Thank You All 4 The Help!!!
Oh For the pills and vitamins section I also have these Sea Weed pills called Sea Vegg that my father orders online. he started making me take them about a year ago. I have stopped ever since but it was nice to hear that Sea Weed helps so now I can start taking them again.
Answer
Unfortunately, hair grows at a steady rate.
I know it seems like there are times when hair grows faster or slower than normal or if someone uses some special potion or eats a certain type of food or massages their scalp, that it promotes growth.
Unfortunately, no.
First things first....the "oil" is only going to grease down your hair. But the massage does help to increase vascularity (blood flow) to your scalp, which is good for maintaining healthy skin tissues that surround the root.
The hair itself is composed of the root, the shaft, and the tip. Only the root of the hair is under the skin, its located in the dermal layer of our skin. This is where new hair growth occurs. The shaft is the hair that we see that pokes through the skin, it is dead. So by the time a hair (no matter how short it is) is visible on the skin, it has becomes keratinized and its dead.
What massage does, is by increasing circulation around each root, it promotes healthy scalp, to decrease dandruff and flakes, which add to excessive hair dryness or oiliness, which can make hair appear to be more thinner than it really is.
The thing with hair growth, is its regulated by a complex endocrine (hormonal) mechanisms. Hormones take weeks to months to communicate with each other, which is why hair growth is steady, it doesnt increase or decrease. There are times, especially when you are stressed out or if you are experiencing problems with your thyroid gland or if you are pregnant, menopausal, or taking birth control pills, that those things all affect your hair.
But none affect the length of it. Some stressors can cause hair to fall out. But unfortunately nothing causes hair to grow, and believe me if there was a mechanism, science would be all over it and we would have a cure for baldness.
So your hair is a product of what you have been doing to your body for the past 6 months, even up to a year. So if you smoke, drink alcohol, take recreational drugs, eat poor diet, do not exercise, and are stressed out, its going to show with your hair being brittle and dry and dull, and possibly falling out. Now on the other hand, if you take care of yourself, eat good proper diet, avoid stress, your hair is going to appear healthy because the shaft (the visible portion) is just a dead version of the root that has grown and grown and grown. So this is why drug tests can take a sample of your hair (no matter how small) and tell whether you have been taking drugs or not, because the hair tells all.
So unfortunately, there are things that cause hair to fall out, but nothing is out there as of right now that causes hair growth.

Does Coconut Oil and Mayonnaise help hair growth? Please answer?
Q. I want my hair to grow at least 3 inches within the next month or two if possible, I trim the dead ends every month and it grows quite a bit, I just cut them again and my hair is a little past my shoulders. So it takes about a month for the hair to grow a few more inches back after trimming.
My friend suggested leaving coconut oil in my hair for 30 minutes, and my other friend said leave mayo at your ends then wash it off in the shower, she didn't say how long to keep it in for.
So my questions are, if coconut oil does make your hair grow how long will it grow within a month of using it every other day?
And my last question is does the mayo thing work and how long should I keep it in for if it does?
Thank you

Answer
Well I would say the answer is 'no' - neither of the two remedies will make your hair grow faster. I know that many people believe that different products/natural remedies can make your hair grow faster, but this can't be true if you think about it:
Your hair growth and the 'amount' of hair you have on your head (and body) is determined by your genes, it works the same way as the color of your hair, eyes and skin - you can't change it (oh well, you can dye your hair :) I do).
Of course, it may seem like these remedies makes your hair grow faster, but it is only because the remedies strengthen your hair. The healthier and stronger your hair is, the less it will break and therefore it will seem like your hair grows faster.
So to answer your question:
If you use these remedies, use them regularly to keep your hair healthy, if you keep it that way, you hair will get longer :)
Coconut Oil: The proteins and fats in the oil is what strengthens the hair. Coconut Oil is known for being beneficial for hair because the fatties in it are so small that they can penetrate the hair cuticle.
Mayo: Mayo is made of oil and eggs (also mustard, salt and over things) but it is the eggs and oil that is good for your hair. Once a week for 30 min should be fine :)
I hope I have helped.
I know it's sad that there's no magical hair-growth remedy.. Patience is the key!
