Yuck! Eggs? No thank you. I'll stick to keeping them in my homemade EVOO, honey and eggs.

Ever since this post resurfaced, I upped my egg intake to like 2 a day......and my hair is really GROWING....I'm texturized and only touch-up the roots every 4 months.....it's only been like 6 weeks since my last retouch and my new growth is getting to be a problem ALREADY...

Re: If U Don\'t Already Know, Eggs Make Ur Hair Gro

I kid you not! But I'm not a big meat-eater in the first place, so maybe the sudden intake of protein (oh, I've been drinking protein shakes here and there as well) could be a factor....

...According to the cashier at the health food store where I purchase my essential oils & vits.

I was there yesterday buying castor & peppermint oil. Well, the cashier struck up a lil chat about how cold pressed castor oil is aiding skin cancer. I told her that I'm using it to soften my new growth & other hair benefits.

Well, she immediately said "well, if u want a ton of hair growth, eat a lot of boiled eggs". (yeah, i know, i didn't mention anything about hair growth) Her hair was in a single cornrow, down the back of her head. BTW, she had a scrunchie securing it that was even with her waist. There was about 4" of hair hanging below the scrunchie. She was sorta a "motor mouth"

, but I just didn't have the time to talk to her further about retaining length, products, etc. BUT I WILL ON ANOTHER VISIT

(& if she's there

)

Well, personally, I don't eat eggs

.... maybe this info can help someone here

.

(btw, she was white with really thick wavy hair)

Re: If U Don\'t Already Know, Eggs Make Ur Hair Gro

Mmmm . . .

How did I miss this thread?

Off to go start on eating some eggs.

I know I lack protein in my diet, so this just might put me over the top concerning hair growth.

I love mushrooms, I mostly only eat boiled eggs, they are easy for me too eat then fried or anything eles, I used too just eat them with salt, and I got worried about that, so for flavor I add some lunch meat, and it taste good, I dont need any salt, I have a question, Am trying too lose weight will eggs make me gain, cause I heard ppl take them for when they want to gain weight,

Re: If U Don\'t Already Know, Eggs Make Ur Hair Gro

I would think not, Happylocks. Eggs are high in protein and contain all that is needed for health (or for life). It is naturally a low carb food. I thought someone posted the stats in this thread.

 

[Supergirl]

Re: If U Don\'t Already Know, Eggs Make Ur Hair Gro

Nah, Happylocks!

Eggs are only 70 calories each and the egg white portion is only 17 calories.

Irresistible,

Thanks for all of those ideas

Someone broke into my parents house and stole a big pot of change, a video camera, and 24 packs of Pepsi!

This will/should subside. I eat 28 eggs a week..4 a day mostly just the whites,occasionally the yolks as well. And I used to notice the bad gas. I honestly haven't had it the longer I've gone on eating eggs.

I'm baaaacck! Whew, that was a long trip.

Yeppers, I'm back at it.

Missed the boards while I was gone like crazy.

I'm just now getting back into the hang of eatting these bad boys. I haven't eaten 'em since I was about 5 years old, when I figured I was "grown" enough to take charge of my nutrition.

My parents are looking at me like, "Who are you, and what have you done to our daughter?"

Re: If U Don\'t Already Know, Eggs Make Ur Hair Gro

Bumping for updates again ladies

Edited to ask: are you still eating eggs religiously and if so how many? Did you get any results?

 

[Poohbear]

Re: If U Don\'t Already Know, Eggs Make Ur Hair Gro

I have been slacking with eating eggs. Just dont have time to boiled them or fry them.

 

[HelloRosie]

Re: If U Don\'t Already Know, Eggs Make Ur Hair Grow!

Hello ladies,

I read your posts on eggs, and it was quite interesting. But, I couldn't bare to eat so many eggs.. My mother blends egg yolk, Mayo, olive oil and avocado in her hair.. I do it once in a blue, cus its kind of a hassle..

That got me to thinking about my diet and my mothers. My mother has never had a problem getting her relaxed hair to grow past bra strap (never seen it longer than that, because she always gets trims by "scissor happy" stylists).

I am very picky about what I eat.. not that I'm vegetarian or anything of that nature. I eat most of everything that doesn't look too funny.

When I found your board and started reading more on the web about taking care of "ethnic" hair, I've gotten my hair to bra strap length (from shoulder length, that I was unable to grow any further). Anyway, call it coincidence, but, along with the increase of moisture to my hair (shampooing less and conditioning more often) and some of my own mothers diet lifestyle, I have gotten over that peak of not being able to get my hair past shoulder length .

I don't know if you ladies eat or even like beans at all. But, I have grown to be very fond of them and they are quite tasty when prepared right. My mother eats typical Latin food EVERYDAY and I hated it, so I turned to a more American diet, which was a wrong move.

I read a post a while back, everyone was asking a fellow Brazilian poster what Brazilians do to keep their hair in great shape. Well, Brazilians eat typical Latin (not necessarily Mexican food, which is similar but different in many ways) meals that consist of meat, rice and beans with vegatables/salads. There are even traditional "get togethers" (Brazilians in particular have "feijoadas") on the weekends, where BEAN stews with pieces of meats are served.

With a high protein diet such as that, and proper care - meaning conditioning, less heat (rollers are OK), and not manipulating your hair as much, I think anyone can achieve their hair goals.
