- Does anybody else use Bone marrow in their hair ?

[RedheadMistress]

- Since I've started taking care of my hair more and more, I noticed how my mother always uses bone marrow in her hair .

She'll put a thick piece of bone (not sure which animal, maybe lamb? She likes lamb but I think any animal will do, almost) and puts it in the microwave for a while until the marrow is liquid and then puts it in her hair .

She says it keeps her hair strong and from falling out .

Idk if I would ever do that, I doubt it . I wouldn't feel comfortable using egg anymore even, but honey I can use (but I don't buy any) . .

Has anybody else heard of this ?

Could be typially Iranian thing to do, she's Iranian and has different ways of doing things hehe . . but thought I should mentino, in case anybody wants to experiment ;)

Also; she has the most beautiful hair I've ever seen . My dream hair .

Maybe I will be creepy and take a photo of her hair at xmas to show you people heheh :P

... It's a new one on me. :bigeyes: Good to use every part of an animal though, if you're going to use one, though normally I'd be thinking about stock and soups rather than hair treatments. :lol:

From what I can tell, it's a protein treatment, so it'd depend how your hair reacts to protein generally.

I heard something about this here before... cant remember maybe search it? It said something about giving your hair more strength because of the collagen.

I have never tried it on my hair, but I always ask my DH for his bone marrow when we have lamb, because I eat it. I love lamb bone marrow. yum. :bigtongue:

Interesting! Never tried it nor heard of it, but might give it a go! Although in our house bone marrow goes to the dogs... :P
