Has anyone tried putting birth control pills in their shampoo?

I know it sounds crazy but both my massage therapist and my hair stylist say that if you put birth control pills in your shampoo then your hair will be thicker and healthier.Has anyone tried putting birth control pills in their shampoo?
I've heard of that from my mom too, but I didnt believe it. She said it was a whole back in one shampoo bottle. wierd huh? LoLHas anyone tried putting birth control pills in their shampoo?
Who is the stupid one now lol.


How you have the nerve to call my queston stpid I do not know.


You are one strange cookie.


You need professional help lol. Report Abuse

DONT LISTEN TO THEM! YES IT WORKS, PUT THEM IN UR SHAMPOO AND NOT IN UR CONDITIONER, WASH 2 TIMES, FIRST JUST RINSE IT AND MAKE SURE YOU HAIR IS REALLY CLEAN, THEN THE SECOND WILL SETTLE IN MUCH NICER AND MASSAGE IT WELL. LEAVE IT FOR 3-5 MINUTES AND IT WILL WORK. GIVE IT TIME. Report Abuse

Why would I waste my prescription by doing that?
?!?!?!?!?





Hair rich in revitalizing shine and hormones? I can't see it happening.
what the hell?
This is what I found on the web:


';No 鈥?birth control pills used topically will not thicken hair. There may be a misconception that since hair loss is related to the male hormone DHT that a female hormone agent such as birth control pills may work. This is NOT true.';





http://www.baldingblog.com/2007/02/26/pu鈥?/a>





Also noted that several women were complaining that when they ingested birth control pills, it made their hair thinner and fall out.
I do not know if that is true, but I do know apple cider vinegar works. It has over 93 vitamins and minerals in just 2 tablespoons.
Maybe she meant prenatal vitamins. Because that's what you are going to be taking if you don't start taking your pills instead of putting them in your shampoo. Pregnancy makes you hair and nails grow. Not to mention what it does to your waistline.
I've heard of that it was like 10+ years ago though, but ya it does leave hair soft..it has many vitamins that get added to the shampoo and make the hair shiny and soft no conditioner needed
Is it really worth the cost of expending medicine for something you could just get a better conditioner to help?
How in the heck would you use a prescription drug in a shampoo to make your hair thicker? Or find a doctor to write such a script?





They are having you on.
Sounds kind of dumb...I wouldn't believe it for a second...all you are going to do is waste your bc pills and then where will you be......I'll tell you where..preggers because you used all your pills in your shampoo
I think you need a new hair stylist and therapist
Seriously, i don't think so. I think your therapist is strange and just trying one of those things that most people know as old wives tales.
you betta not. i don't want none a that baby-mama drama.
I'm a massage therapist and it sounds like you need a new massage therapist from the answer she gave you!
are you really serious. massage therapists %26amp; hair stylists don't know anything about birth control, thats not their job.
i'm sorry but i would rather not waste them in shampoo....but seriously i have NEVER heard of that.
LOL...don't wanna know what's going on in your bedroom..
I don't think that would really be a probable situation as you would have to keep getting your prescription filled, and they probably wouldn't let you get it filled sooner than the required time allowed....
sounds like a myth and a potentially expensive one at that. you should just buy main and tail shampoo from a feed and supply store.
Huh? That sounds crazy to me. I've never heard of that and don't really see how it would work either.
wot d hel??????????? U got me so cunfused ,, How wuld dat work. Ne way got an oder remedy 4 u. Try putting eider home made youghart or egg in ur hair and using it lyk a shampoo den washing it off. Must warn u tho it might smel but it keeps ur hair from falling out and makes it healthier.
Yeah...why would you waste them, and how would you go about getting a prescription for this purpose? What you CAN use, are some products with pre-natal vitamins in them (best for hair and nails).
I think your therapist needs therapy.

Whats the best shampoo to use?

I need one thats not going to flatten my hair or dry it out.


And whats the best conditioner that does this?





I have curly hair but sometimes i straighten it.


Thanks~Whats the best shampoo to use?
There are so many shampoos that you might think that therer are less but there are loads so you 'll have to try each one that you think that will protect your hair.


For example:


You have to try each shampoo every time you give a bath because if you just try one shampoo and think it is good then it is good but there are loads of other shampoos so there might be a better one than the one you choose.


You might think that it wastes your money but it is the only way to find out which shampoo suits your hair the most. I tried lots of shampoos during giving myself a bath and then I found out that Head and Shoulders is the best for my hair so I started using that and my hair is wonderful when you look at it all because of that shampoo. So I'm not saying that you should use head and shoulder (only if it the best for your hair) but I'm saying that you should try different shampoo's and find out which one is right for your hair.


Good Luck!Whats the best shampoo to use?
try the no more tears baby shampoo. your hair will look and smell great
Your question is way too vague. There are so many hair care formulas out there. We need to know if your hair is thick or thin (or in between), fine or course (or in between), dry or oily (or normal), if its color treated, permed, graying, etc... Also need to know how much you are willing to spend. A shampoo or conditioner that I love and think is the best might not be the best for you- even though I have curly hair, because there are so many other factors.
The new herbal essences line is really nice and smells fantastic
Aussie or Dove are great
Here are a few of my faves:





';Hello Hydration'; by Herbal Essences





Anything by Biolage is wonderful





Paul Mitchell makes a shampoo/conditioner with Awapuhi. Suave Professionals also has a knock off of this which is just about as good as the real thing!





..thinking about it, Suave Professionals makes wonderful products if you're looking for something cheap but effective!
I love and live by June Jacobs Cranberry Conditioning Shampoo on http://www.skincaretreatmentsite.com/hair-growth.php. It leaves your hair soft and tangle free and has helped me put an end to split ends. My hair is left shiny and bouncy after every wash. LOVE IT!
Lee stafords range is good but ghd range is the best i've ever used most salons will have it..x
I like the new Herbal Essences..I have really curly hair too and it doesn't fuzz it out or make it flat or dry.. I think mine is the volume one? It's in an orange bottle with a purple and green lid..it smells amazing too.

Which Selsun Blue shampoo should i use to get rid of sunspots?

i read that selsun blue works on sunspots, so i bought some selsun blue and it really didn't work. so which selsun blue shampoo should i get and which ingredient in selsun blue gets rid of sunspots? thanks :DWhich Selsun Blue shampoo should i use to get rid of sunspots?
You need to get a doctor or a dermatologists to look at your sunspots, just to make sure that's what they are. Don't take any chances. You don't want to use selsun blue then find out it was a melanoma. Pharmacist could probably tell you if there is a better product.

Do you use shampoo one day and conditioner only the next?

I heard that doing this is good for you. Is it and why?Do you use shampoo one day and conditioner only the next?
Researchers say: washing your hair everyday will take your natural hair oil away. It is clinicly proven that rinsing your hair everyday and washing it every other day will result it beautiful hair.Do you use shampoo one day and conditioner only the next?
take a shower every holiday. that way your natural oils make your hair soft and shiny
wash your hair everyday with both shampoo and conditioner
use both every other day
I've never heard of that. If you don't use a lot of product on your hair you don't have to wash it every day. A gentle shampoo and a spray leave-in conditioner.
shampoo every other day, condition every day
I shampoo my hair when it needs to be washed, most especially after I've gone out of the house and was exposed to the elements, like smoke . If your hair doesn't smell nice, anymore...then take a bath and wash it. I use conditioner each time I shampoo my hair. I use a mild shampoo. If you use a strong shampoo, add water.
don't wash your hair every day. it will wash out your natural oils.


wash your hair every second day with both conditioner and shampoo.
yes true
The best you wash your hair every month or the earliest every fortnightly.
neva heard tat..i wash %26amp; condition my hair every other day %26amp;%26amp; its realy soft..u should try paul mitchel super skinny serum after washing keeps it frizz free %26amp;%26amp; soft all day
I shampoo %26amp; condition my hair everyday %26amp; my hair is soo soft %26amp; healthy. Also, one of my friends does the exact same thing %26amp; her hair is really shiny %26amp; soft.

Which shampoo brands should i use that won't make my hair fall out as much as other shampoos I've been using?

Pantene and Herbal Essences cause my hair to fall out a lot.


Which shampoo brands should i use that won't make my hair fall out as much as other shampoos I've been using?
i used tressemme and my hair was fallin out more than usual so i started using mane and tail (you can get it at a beauty supply store, i think its for horses orginally but they made a human brand, not sure if they sell it at walmart where you live) and that works really well...my hair still falls out some...its more than the shampoo tho, you hair can fall out if you are stressed (which i am lol) or if you have split ends and damaged hair, it breaks easier...get a trim and try the mane and tail...good luck...Which shampoo brands should i use that won't make my hair fall out as much as other shampoos I've been using?
Shampoo doesn't have much to do with it! Read on!





Question: Help! My Hair is Falling Out? How Much Is OK?


Answer: Before you go to the doctor worried about a major vitamin deficiency, take deep breaths. Hair loss is typically normal, especially in the fall months. Why? Read on.


Everyone loses between 40 and 120 strands a day, depending on how much hair you have, your age and your hair's growth cycle. People with fine hair tend to have more of it and therefore will lose more of it than their thicker-haired sisters and brothers. Your hair also thins as you get older, particularly after menopause for women. But unlike aging men, the thinning tends to stop after awhile.





Here are common causes of thinning and hair loss:





1. Seasonality. You'll lose the most hair in the fall -- typically November and December when hair reaches maturity in its growth cycle.





2. Diet. Hair loss can occur through poor dieting. According to dermatologist George Cotsarelis, M.D., director of the University of Pennsylvania Hair and Scalp Clinic, iron deficiency may be the cause. He states in the April 2006 issue of ';Ladies Home Journal,'; it might be worth checking your levels with your doctor and take a supplement if they're low.





3. Aging. Marc Avram, MD, a Manhattan hair transplantation specialist, told Elle Magazine, ';As we get older, follicles shrink, producing skinnier, shorter strands; then the follicles start to die off. That rate and the extent of that process is a matter of genetics.';





3. Pregnancy Some women experience hair loss with pregnancy or as part of post-pregnancy hormonal changes. Other women experience hair loss when going on or off (usually off) the birth control pill.





4. Illness or intense stress Sometimes hair loss occurs as a result of illness. Stress, excessive weight loss, iron deficiency and thyroid problems can also cause hair loss.





If you're really worried, ask your doctor, however, experts say you really only need to worry if your part is getting wider or you can see your scalp through your hair. For severe cases, you might consult a ';trichologist,'; a physician who specializes in hair loss.





Extra tip: If you're a woman you won't experience male-pattern baldness. Women's hair tends to thin all over. The only FDA-approved hair loss treatment is minoxidil. Minoxidil works in 60-70 percent of cases by improving the follicle's ability to produce hair.



Whenever I feel that my hair is getting too thin, I use pantene pro-v THINK AND FULL it's great. I use herbal essence but it makes my hair really soft and easy to fall. Another thing is DO NOTTTT use condiioner on your scalp, only at the bottom of the hair, and if you really really need to have it on the scalp, then just rub your hands together and tap your hair. Thant's it.
Pantene is actually really bad for your hair.


Scalp actually...but that is where the hair starts.





Herbal Essences im not so sure.


It's never really given me any problems?





Try Aussie-3 Minute Miracle.


It really helps to strengthen it.


Garnier Nutrisse helps the scalp also!
try some Redkin. It works great and is the stuff they use a salons.

What brand of shampoo is right for me?

I have tried a couple shampoos and none of them get the job done. Im a teenage dude with thick and somewhat greasy hair. I just want my hair to be clean, fresh, and feelin good is that so much to ask for?What brand of shampoo is right for me?
try that new axe shampoo. it supposedly helps greasy hair :)What brand of shampoo is right for me?
I don't think your problem is the shampoo, but is the washing. When you are washing your hair, shampoo it twice, and then condition around the ends, and then rinse thoroughly. Not conditioning wont help, as it will just damage your hair and make is frizzy. Try tresme, its around 10 dollars a bottle, but the bottles are MASSIVE so you get alot for your money. you can also choose one that is for oily hair, dry hair etc. Garnier shampoo is also very good.
You need a claryfying shampoo. Anything that says claryfying is what you should be using. You shouldnt wash your hair out too much though. If it gets that squeaky feeling (i hope u know what i mean, its likea kind of unatural wig hair like feeling) it means you hav over washed it.


You should use a moisturiser shampoo after that. Use shampoo thats targetted at girls if you cant find a mems claryfying shampoo. Im a girl and i went though a stage in which my hair became greasy. the claryfying shampoo cleared it right up.


Pears has a good one. But many brands should help.


Always change brands when done with bottles. Good for hair to get change. Makes it much nicer
i use Suave for men.


and it sounds like i kind of have the same hair type as you.


my hair is very...uhm well lets just say that the girls have played with my hair more than 5 times and always tell me how much they love my hair.


its really good.
I am the same way, except a girl. :] Try Clarifying by Paul Mitchell. It's amazing-


http://www.paulmitchell.com/Products/Pau…
herbal essenses :)


[drama clean]


it takes away those extra oils %26amp; grease to just leave u with that fresh, clean hair that u want that will feel good :)





p.s. get both the shampoo %26amp; conditioner so that u get max~ results :D
use any shampoo, but shampoo twice and use as little conditioner as possible. herbal essence's drama clean works well.
i love Paul Mitchell products...they have amazing products...i actually have three different shampoos and conditioners by them cause i love their stuff so much...hope i helped...=)
Pantene, Tresemme, or even Suave have some great products that won't break the bank. Be sure and use the ';normal'; one since your hair is thick.
That is up to u 2 decide. You gotta use a bunch of different kinds and see what ones work and what ones dont.
umm u can use that new axe shampoo its very effective otherwise i suggest head %26amp; shoulders/pantene
Johnson's (no more tears) Baby shampoo.
Why not try some of that AXE shampoo?





It comes in a few kinds, so your bound to find the right one for your hair...
My boyfriend uses AXE and it smells nice and it doesn't keep your hair greasy
Try using Crew.
u should try head and shoulders
