Most women believe that the beauty of a woman is in her hair and that it is the second thing that most people will notice after looking at a woman’s face.
It is for this reason that most women will spend a lot of time and money to ensure that they look good.
An example of those who are known to spend a lot of money on weaves that are meant to enhance a woman’s beauty is Vera Sidika, who according to media blogs and gossip sections in Kenya, has spent between Sh19, 200 and Sh25,600 on her cheapest weave.
While most men in Kenya hate weaves, women on the other hand prefer them as they are pocket friendly especially when one is broke and one does not have to spend countless number of hours at the salon.
However, a problem arises when some women begin experiencing hair loss or receding hairlines due to various factors such as pregnancy. This is when things might get weird as some women may go to great lengths to have their hair grow back.
Some funny methods and ways used by women to grow back their hair include:
1) Hanging Upside down.
After I saw this on the Internet I laughed my head off. How could one expect this to work? As per the explanation, blood flow to the head increases when one hangs their head upside down i.e. at the end of the bed. Once the blood flow increases, this causes the hair follicles to reach maximum capacity and thus stimulating growth. Question is, is this fact or fiction?
2) Use of onion juice
In this case, the onions are supposed to be grated and the grated bits are supposed to be squeezed so as to get the juice. The juice is then to be massaged on the scalp and left preferably for an hour or at least 15 minutes after which it is washed with a mild shampoo and water. As per the experts, onion juice has Sulphur which boosts the production of collagen tissues which assist in the re – growth of hair. Question is, how can one stand the smell?
3) Potato juice
If one chooses to use this remedy, she has to have 3 potatoes, an egg yolk from one egg and 1 tablespoon of honey. The potatoes are grated and the juice is squeezed. The honey and egg yolk are then added to the juice and mixed well. The mixture is then applied on the scalp and left for at least half an hour after which it is washed with mild shampoo and water. It is said that this will help in hair growth as the egg yolk and honey will add moisture to the potato juice and the mixture will help in making hair grow faster.
It is important to note that this search has also led some ladies to buy expensive hair products and tablets after seeking advice from their friends who are not professionals and as a result, they may end up having more problems.
