Do eggs make your hair grow faster?

Fact or fiction: Eating eggs can make your hair grow faster…

 

The next time you’re deciding between waffles or eggs for breakfast, definitely go for the eggs. While there’s no scientific evidence proving that eggs will give your hair that Rapunzel-like length, they will make your locks stronger and more flexible. This means less of that brittle feeling and more smooth, silky strands. 

 

High-protein foods like eggs and chicken have great benefits for your hair. Because hair is made of protein, these foods work to strengthen your roots, make your color more vibrant and remove buildup from the follicles. This can actually speed up the growth process a tad. The result? Luscious locks that will have people thinking you just walked out of an Herbal Essences commercial.  

 

The saying “you are what you eat” goes for your hair too, so you should always eat a well-balanced diet full of fruits, veggies, and protein-rich foods. The more protein you consume, the healthier your hair will be, so whether they’re boiled, sunny-side up or scrambled, try adding eggs to your diet!

Mod Mod Mod!
My hair grows SUPER slow, the slowest of all my friends. It's about 4 1/2 inches past my shoulder so medium length, not long but I can still play around with it. I want to grow it out and I've tried looking for way to help the growth speed but I can't find anything good/useful! I want it to be about to the middle of my ribcage (about 5 more inches). Any ways or tips on how to grow it that long FAST? Thanks, sorry it's long!




Hey girlie! Believe it or not, your diet really does affect the way your hair grows. Make sure you're eating healthy, balanced meals with a good amount of protein (meat, fish, nuts, beans), iron (spinach, tofu), and vitamin C. You might not notice a drastic change right away, but over time you'll find that your hair grows stronger, healthier, and faster. Hope this helps!

im like the only girl in my class that has my period! im only 12!! and my cramps hurt soooooo much in school. but i dont want to ask my mom if i can stay home because i really dont want to miss any days! also my triathlon is tomorrow and i am running and im gonna have my period! what do i do!?!?!?!




Hey girlie,

For some girls, cramps are a major issue during their periods. Try to keep a small supply of Midol, Pamprin, or Tylenol in your locker. It might not knock them out totally, but it'll really help take the edge off the pain during the school day. When you get home, pamper yourself - lay down with a blanket and a heat pad on your belly to ease the pain, then go to bed early. And remind yourself that cramps only last for a couple days max, so they won't be around forever! As for the triathlon, you are going to need to use a tampon since swimming is a major part of your adventure. Practice tonight so you don't run into any probs tomorrow!

MOD MOD MOD I straighten my hair all the time, to the point that it's completely straight. But, my natural hair is really wavy, so the straightness never lasts through an entire day. Is there any way I can keep it straight all day?

 

Hey chica!  First off, just make sure you use a heat protectant before using it, so you don't do too much damage!  It might be helpful if you blow-dry it straight first, before you straighten it, for double-duty.  The first part of this article has some tips that might work for ya: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/11/23/how-to-straight-taylor-swift-hair.aspx.  xoxo
