sup people i just asked some fellow long hair they had there hair down to like there asses and i asked them some questinons ... i told them im growing my hair long...(bout 4 inches round.) THey mentioned cornrowws and natrual hair oils... First cornrows i wanna talk about . This guy i was talking to said dont get them to tight but he also said that the tension made his hair grow longer faster and tension may help my hair grow quicker because it actually pulls hairs. Is this true ?
ALso he mentioned natrual hair he told me only wash my hair every other day to clean it. He said the natrual hair oils make it smoother and grow better (he also metioned it will grow faster too with the natrual hair oils, i doubt it but who knows , maybe you guys reading this know? Mention somethign if you know ka- peesh? : )) Is this stuff true thanx for reading !!
I know that I only wash my hair about 2 times a week and it works for me. . ..
As for cornrows, I've seen too many guy's hair break into pieces when they're taken out.
tension may help my hair grow quicker because it actually pulls hairs. Is this true?
Background: In 1907, the first example of traction alopecia was reported in girls and women from Greenland who styled their hair in a ponytail. A similar pattern of hair loss was later noted in Japanese women who wear a traditional hairdo. In Sikhism, one of the religions practiced in India, men grow both scalp hair and beard hair. To keep their hair from falling in front of their face, it is tightly pulled into a bun. This practice has led to traction alopecia in Sikh men. The tight rolling of beard hair into a pocket in the submandibular region also results in a similar phenomenon. The use of hair extensions, a common treatment for male or female pattern baldness, is also associated with a similar type of hair loss.
Traction alopecia is a common cause of hair loss because of pulling forces exerted on the scalp hair. Two types of traction alopecia exist: marginal and nonmarginal. Unlike trichotillomania, a psychiatric disorder of compulsive hair pulling that leads to patchy hair loss, traction alopecia is unintentionally induced by various hairstyling practices (eg, braiding). In the initial stages, this hair loss is reversible. With prolonged traction, alopecia can be permanent. Physicians, especially dermatologists, must recognize this condition early to prevent irreversible hair loss.
Pathophysiology: Typically, traction alopecia is associated with sustained tension on the scalp hair. In theory, this phenomenon can also occur on areas of the face where hair is grown and styled. Traction causes hair to loosen from its follicular roots; however, hair loss also occurs secondary to follicular inflammation and atrophy.
Remember this simple rule. Everyone has a maximum hair growth speed. Not everyone's is the same. There is nothing you can do to make your hair grow faster than your personal genetics will allow. To maintain your maximum growth, get plenty of exercise and sufficient vitamin intake daily. Poor overall health can slow down your hair growth. Hope this helps. Peace!
Excercise can actually help hair growth, such as running or basket ball , what about weight lifting?
Mr. Chris, sir, I am not being a hardnose but just wanted to alert you to the fact that there is the occasional female that will happen upon this board so as a gentleman I just was hoping to request you refrain from such language. As for the questions you stated, well I personally feel cornrows would damage hair and they just look wierd and as for the washing, well I wash mine every day and it turns out ok but I'm far from the expert of this board.
Hi.... ok so I may be missing something but I just read the above post word for word and didnt find any word/words that could be taken as offensive to anyone! - although I admit I dont know what 'kapeesh' means - is this an american swear word or somethin?!...
Oh and as for cornrows I'd say a big no "." however, david beckham did sup this look as he was growing out his hair a while back...his hair is pretty long now and still looks good. Therefore I'd say no if you have a thin head of hair...but if you must and have a thick head of hair then a few lost hairs would not be a disaster.... depends on how long you want to grow your hair - or whether you just want to try something new... if you intend to grow your hair really long I'd try to avoid this tho...
oh and no tension would not increase hair growth, and natural oils do not make you hair grow faster either - washing them out wont effect your hair growth either as the hair grows from within the follicle - hhmmm thats just got me thinking - does anyone think a dry scalp could slow hair growth? - dont know precise chemistry of hair growth within the follicle but presumably requires water.
If your concerned about washing out the oils when 'pooing try adding a couple of drops of jojona oil to your cond' this oil is the closest thing to sebum the skins natural oil - makes a great barrier for face too under moisturiser.
I do not care to use the word so I will copy and paste from Chris' original post though again I do not wish to post this word for the same reasons I posted my "quick note" not to mention today is the Sabbath but very well: "hair down to like there asses"<---
Oh I see...well I guess your entitled to your own opinion - but that statement can also be taken as fact and bears no ill meaning, so although I respect your views, again I fail to see the problem... maybe im just decensortised.
Well it might just be the times we live in. We've been so desensitized to violence, profanity and lude images in our society that we are no longer properly offended. I myself, as previously stated, am a Civil War re-enactor and in so I am into it very much and it's at a point where I am hoping to live my life as they did back then, 24/7 re-enacting. Though I myself have seen Civil War pictures so horrid it may be censored even today, I try not to allow myself anymore to see such improper images and when something comes upon the television showing a lady behaving as a woman of ill repute I make an effort to change the channel. I may delay a few seconds (:D) but will still do my utmost effort to change the channel. Well anyway, that's Marc of Phoenixville in a nutshell. He's a real nut.
Your probably right about the desensitizing of the pop, so I guess your one of the people who was morally outraged by janet jackson's bearing a few weeks back.... whereas I was on the side of "I dont see the big deal". I guess we'll never see eye to eye : )
I find Ms. Jackson and her general behavior and most important the Superbowl action she performed, well that is the culmination of what I dislike of these times. Crude behavior as when it comes to morality, improperly clothed thus baring bodily flesh on a regular basis (belly buttons and all) and then of course her stunt revealing her breast was of utmost disgrace and the times we live in must be redone at some point or else we are on the way to Hell.
figured as much..... not that im a religeous person in the least but dont you think that if her bearing was an affront to god then why arent we all born fully clothed?... ie before clothing became neccessary to avoid the cold, we where all happy running about naked - just as "god" intended.... so please dont confuse your embarrasment with our condemnation.
this is a little side-tracked - sorry - to the original post... but interesting nevertheless.
