So, I called a taxi today to get home from school and had a very interesting conversation with the unusually friendly taxi driver. I don't remember how the topic came up but I mentioned that I was trying to grow my hair. He mentioned that back where he was from (northern Africa) women boosted hair growth by putting red peppers in their hair. Apparently the peppers increase circulation significantly leading to faster hair growth. It seems to make sense to me and its worth a shot! Has anyone else heard of this or tried anything like it??
