Can you answer mmhhhhhmmm’s question about Ginseng?:
I have a hideous haircut that needs to grow faster and my acupuncturist gave me he shou wu. I looked it up and I see it is used for hair loss and graying, but not really anything on making hair grow faster. Just wondering if anyone has ever tried it.

Ginseng Feedback: I hear it helps with hair loss, I haven’t heard anything about it helping hair grow faster. I also heard it does damaging effects to your liver, which is never a good thing and isn’t worth growing your hair faster lol. Check it out for yourself.
Ginseng Feedback: My sister used to take chinese herbs that she got from her acupuncturist. I don’t know what kind they were, but she got a weird fungus growth on her tongue from them. Her tongue turned black… it was growing fur. She would brush it off, but it kept growing back. I don’t remember how she got rid of it, but that experience taught us that some of those herbs aren’t regulated by the FDA.
Ginseng Feedback: I havent but I’ll post my best advice for growing hair:
Hair typically grows 1/3 of an inch every month no matter what but if you take good care of your hair you can grow up to an inch a month.
I suggest taking hair, skin, and nail vitamins, available at any drug store or wal-mart. Things to look for are vitamin B complex, vitamin E, and biotin (vitamin b7). Eat healthy and get plenty of protein and dark green vegetables. Hair is mainly composed of protein. Eggs contain a ton of protein. Also foods containing “gelatin” are good for your hair such as yogurt and jello. Google “hair growth foods” for ideas. Also try daily scalp massages using your fingertips to stimulate hair growth, it gets blood flowing in your scalp and feels great. Avoid frying your hair at all costs. Get plenty of sleep and excercise, especially cardiovascular excercises like running. Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and stress.
A good conditioner is also important. Sunsilk is amazing and cheap, the kind I am currently using contains jojoba oil wich is AMAZING. Any sunsilk product is amazing and cheap.
If you have fried hair, do not dye it anymore and try hot oil treatments, and do not use shampoo every day. I leave contitioner in for about 5 minutes before washing it out to keep mine looking healthy. If you have split ends get them trimmed to avoid it getting worse.
