I think a lot of you don’t have a good idea of how hair growth actually occurs. You can’t “make” your hair grow. Braids don’t do it. Protective styles don’t do it. Drops don’t do it. Stylists don’t do it. Hair grows. That’s what it does. IT LITERALLY GROWS IN THE WOMB.

Hair is metabolic output. Your personal growth rate is based on your metabolism and your genetics. Our hair and nails grow faster in the summer because of increase in physical activity, better caloric intake (Summer foods), and Vitamin D (sun exposure).
Pregnancy hormones can spur growth rate and improve quality of that new growth. Supplements can increase growth by a measly 15%, but only if person has a poor diet. A clean water who already gets high vitamin intake won’t see an increase with supplements.
NOTHING TOPICAL INCREASES GROWTH RATE. NOTHING. NOTHING DONE TO THE HAIR ON THE HEAD CAN MAKE YOUR HAIR GROW. Even infrared or laser treatments affect the follicle BEFORE hair grows.
This is not opinion. This is scientific fact. Cosmetology is the science of hair. It is not up for debate how hair grows just as how digestion occurs is not up for debate. It is what it is.
People make money off convincing you hair growth is something you can change with a product or a hair service. They can’t. I CAN’T. I tell clients every day “I don’t have growing hands. I have ‘I won’t fuck up your hair and cut it all off’ hands.” A good stylist PRESERVES GROWTH.
Black women do NOT have an issue with hair growth or growth rate. Y’all had to get that relaxer retouch every 8 weeks because your new growth was an inch long WHICH IS THE AVERAGE GROWTH FOR A HUMAN. 1/2 an inch a month, 6 inches a year. We are BORN with hair.
Black women have an issue with GROWTH RETENTION due to poor haircare habits, suboptimal hair hygiene and oil-based products that choke the moisture out of hair.
Again, if you want to PRESERVE the growth you are undoubtedly achieving, follow the steps below

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.


Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel

He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:

He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.


I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.

In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.

So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.

Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.
