Help wanted!!! Long HAIR Remedy

(new zealand)

I have just started using acv as a rinse...leaving it in.

I love it but I have a big problem too...my hair is falling out everywhere...I know it is in bad condition...it needs trimming but I am trying to grow it really long and I don't want a hairdresser to take too much off!

It is halfway down my back and I want it to reach my waist at least but it seems to grow so slowly.

PLEASE can anyone suggest a remedy for my problem? I am 69 years YOUNG !! and eat a raw food diet.

If your hairdresser did not infect you with some type of skin fungus it could be your medication. The first choice is easier to heal with ACV remedies, while the second? Wish you best of luck.

Oh the joy of long hair
by: Anonymous

Well, don't let them wack it all off! I did and am heart broken.

I am beginning to use natural hair products. I went to skindeep.com, a cosmetic database that lists the chemicals in products.

Get a trim and just get all of the split ends off and that should help.

I've also began taking biotin, I got 5000mg tablets at walmart and take one a day!

Raw food diet et al
by: Anonymous

I have a wonderful head of hair now and it is growing at a great rate of knots. ( maritime term!)

And to confound all you prophets of doom and gloom I am a 100% raw food vegan , I drink only our own spring water> I eat according to how I feel.

My food intake ? Predominately dark green leafy vegetables ( NOT lettuce which has very little nutrition in it) such as Cavalo Nero( not spinach as gutsing too much of it can cause kidney stones. Also lots of fruit for energy and calories( NOT citrus).

If you would like to learn more...and who wouldn't..I am so ALIVE and full of ENERGY . I am BOUNCING around ALL day EVERY day. I cycle( as in fast) around 50km + every day as well as other outdoor pursuits. I am a 21 yrs old lady of 70 years.

Raw food diet
by: Anonymous

Hi,

I am sure the problem is your diet cause last year same thing happened to me.

I was on diet that only involved fruits and vegetables and my hair fell off like crazy it was embarrassing to have co workers always notice it.

It was almost as if I had cancer, didn't have any bald spots cause I have plenty of hair but as soon as I started to consume more protein I began to have stronger hair and not a single one falls off.

Eat some soy if your vegetarian , fish if not you can have lean chicken or meat and eggs and other things, also try more food like avocados, anything rich in omega 3, lots of nuts and cereals too.

I hope this helps

Good luck!

To comment on "Help keep my long hair"...

In order for your hair to grow longer you do need to have it trimmed, not having it trimmed decreases the time and amount your hair will grow..

So on top of keeping your hair clean with natural remedies you do also need to keep your hair trimmed.. Just make sure you stress to your hairdresser that you only want a little bit taken off..

They will probably have to take off a good amount in the beginning to get rid of the dead ends but if you keep going faithfully they take less and less off...

re Chinese doctor comments et al.
by: Anonymous

I have misunderstood nothing that the 'doctor' of Chinese medicine wrote. That does not mean that I necessarily agree with everything that was written therein. The use of the word 'should' is the worst and most mis-used word in the English language presenting as being both pedantic and one-eyed.

I stand by 1000% regarding the comments made about my personal lifestyle regarding diet. Add to that an extremely healthy outdoor life. I fully expect to live to be( in the obsessed, with years and numbers, vernacular ) WAY OVER 100 years. Personally speaking I do not give a stuff for numbers of years or whatever others might wish to waste their time and, consequently, their health , worrying about. LIVE IN HARMONY with and accept, as do the rest of NATURE, that we are part of, and NOT separate from Nature . Nothing in NATURE can exist in ISOLATION, everything has a part to play if NATURE is to exist in perfect
BALANCE and HARMONY. The only CRIME in NATURE has been committed by man. MAN WILL PAY the ultimate price.

To December 9 Anonymous about low acid
by: Rejane

Just a few words about your comment on the August 14 Anonymous comment.

First, I want to say that I am not "August 14 Anonymous"
but I believe you have misunderstood part of that person's message.

The Chinese doctor did NOT say that eating raw food CAUSED a low acid condition to occur!

The text says that
1- several nutrients are vital for healthy hair
2- a low acid condition makes the absorption of minerals difficult
3- low acid is a condition that becomes increasingly prevalent as we AGE
4- apple cider vinegar can help this problem - we can try taking some before meals to enhance the absorption of minerals!!

There is no mention anywhere that eating raw food causes low acid.

many people have difficulty assimilating an entirely raw diet. there are no indigenous cultures that are either exclusively raw or vegetarian. raw food-ism is more of a modern trend. I am a doctor of Chinese medicine and I treat people occasionally who eat exclusively raw food -- many are among the most emaciated and malnourished people I have encountered, yet they think they are doing a healthy thing. In the summer, I agree that many folks can handle more raw food, since there is more ambient heat and much produce is in season. During the rest of the year, most of your vegetables should be lightly steamed at least.
Beyond this, there are several nutrients that are vital for healthy hair. Two of the main ones are the minerals sulfur and silica. You can get sulfur by taking MSM - methylsulfonylmethane. I recommend 1000 mg per 50 pounds of body weight, twice a day. Taking it in powdered form is cheaper and easier when you are using large doses. It is quite safe. Silica can be found in certain herbs, such as horsetail (equisetum), but you can also find multi-mineral supplements that have silica in them. A multi-mineral supplement in general would be a good idea for you.
Finally, low stomach acid is a major impediment to absorption of food, particularly minerals, and this gets increasingly prevalent as we age. Since we're on the apple cider vinegar page, this is something you might try taking at the beginning of meals to enhance absorption. I usually just give my patients Betaine HCl. (hydrochloric acid)
