Heat and Hair Growth - The Greenhouse Effect

[julierockhead]

I know many of us condition/oil our hair and then "bag" it in a shower cap to improve the condition of the hair, but do you do it for growth?

The following information is from the Real Queens site- http://realqueens.ning.com/group/hai...imengreenhouse

Real Queens calls itself a place for black women, but I read it anyway. I think the regimen they use is something easily adapted to individual tastes and hair texture. Has anybody done this for growth? What do you think about it?



GREEN HOUSE EFFECT
On damp or dry hair apply a generous amount of JBCO or EVOO throughout your hair (or how ever much you can tolerate) making sure to coat the ends in the oil to create a protective barrier against pollution, fabrics, dryness ect.
This regimen works well with various protective hairstyles such as bantu knot outs and braid outs, so once you’ve oiled your hair you can prep it accordingly depending on how you plan to style it the next day.
Place shower cap or plastic bag over your hair to lock in the moisture from your scalps natural oils and heat from your head. This creates a green house, steam effect during your sleep which is the best time for your hair growth in this case.
Place a head tie/scarf over your head & shower cap making sure that it’s nice and snug; for best results also wear a winter hat over your scarf to help produce more heat.
In the morning you may find that your hair is a bit damp from the moisture the steam effect created.
You can either blow dry it on cool setting, let it air dry a bit (about 15 mins) before styling, or go ahead and style it while it’s still damp and let it dry as the day progresses.
* if you don't really care for the JBCO smell, you should definitley try the Shea Oil with Mango & Papaya it will make your hair smell amazing or you can simply use EVOO from your local grocery store, it's much cheaper!
