In some of the newspapers there are ads for
stuff that will give you long hair
in a matter of several days. Any of this
stuff work or is it snake oil?
Hey man I just bought this topical solution named Long 'N' Strong Extra. Haven't started using it yet. Results are supposed to be noticed within 5-7 days like longer and thicker hair.It also claims in the website that it can grow waiste long hair. I dont know if its snake oil or not doesnt say on the bottle. The website is Rush Industries.com.
It wouldn't. Snake oil is an expression that refers to something (generallythings like weight loss formulas or baldness cures) that makes great claims that it can't possibly fulfill. Also, if someone is "snake-oil saleman", it means they're a con-man.
snake oil n.
1. A worthless preparation fraudulently peddled as a cure for many ills.
2. Speech or writing intended to deceive; humbug.

Oh, if you use this stuff for 7 days, your hair will be longer, allright. Just as long as if you didn't use this stuff for 7 days. All it is is some sort of hair conditioner . . . seems to have some sort of plastic that coats the hair called Gafquat. Ad text also says it will thicken the hair strands . . . probably no better than any other goop that coats the hair. Let us know if you try it, and what results you get . . .
