"grow 1 Inch In 1 Hour!!111!"

[Crysta]

I HATE!!! seeing these adverts all over the place. not as obvious as the title one mabey, but short cut claims that if you buy such and such you will get such and such witch is impossible for us human types. (I hope I explained that well enough)


I suppose what I would like to know is:

+Have any of you guys been suckered into something like this?

+Have any of you tried any of these that actualy work?

+What kindof results did you get?

+How does this kindof advertising make you feel?

ETA: This is an actual PITCH!!! (This particular ad is for body4real's website for a S&C)

Grow Hair 45%* Faster With FAST (Fortified Amino Scalp Therapy) Shampoo & Conditioner


Slow-growing hair is the source of frustration for many people. A bad haircut lasts months (instead of weeks) when your hair growth is slow. Trying to keep up with the latest hairstyles can be aggravating. But now, with the safe, all-natural blend of herbs and essential amino acids, your hair can grow up to 45%* faster and have more body and shine than you ever imagined.

They're so annoying! I don't see many and I generally don't pay attention to them. I hate the thought of people falling for them.

I don't know the ad you're talking about. But I will say, in middle school I had a friend recommend Mane n Tail conditioner to me, saying it would make my hair grow an inch every time I used it. And it did! I used it about once a week for a summer and my hair went from APL to below my waist. After that, I decided it must be scary and quit using it.

I think what it was doing was lots of protein (or something), and then when I combed it out wet it stretched the hairs. And then they stayed that way.

Yes i have been sucked in. That actually how i found this site, looking for something to make my hair grow uber fast.

I had a friend recommend Mane n Tail conditioner to me, saying it would make my hair grow an inch every time I used it. And it did! .

now that just seems.... un-earthy... and agreed if it worked on me I would stop using it, i'd be scared too XD

it doesn't seem logical at all.

I usually don't notice these ads, I think I just automatically ignore them.
Right after I read your post, though, I saw this ad:

Hair+ growth 3x faster
Your hair grows 3 times faster! efficiency at cheap price

oh lol...

I've been seeing them alot lately because of being on 'longhair'community ALOT. so they're popping up all over the place.

makes me rage.

1 inch in 1 hour would be way too fast for me. It seems that I barely perfect my protective up-dos before my hair gets too long for them as it is. So nope, I've never been suckered into trying to make my hair grow faster. I'd rather cultivate patience.

One part of the pitch in the OP made me giggle.... "Tired of trying to keep up with the latest hairstyles?"

Aren't the *latest hairstyles* usually involving cutting? How is hair growth shampoo supposed to help you if you're trying to keep up with other people who cut regularly?
