Weeeellllll is it me, but I didn't think it was a competition so who're u cheating, nature?:lachen: Then ladies NO MORE MAKEUP, yes not even gloss:rolleyes:
 
They're not cheating per se, but I do think some people think growth aids are a way around having a solid consistent reggie, and it just does not work that way at all. :nono:
 
Growing hair really isn’t a competition, so there's no "cheating" involved. I don’t think it’s wrong to use growth aids as long as they are safe. Besides, they can be a great helper if you’re experiencing a plateau and are feeling discouraged. A little boost may help spur you on to reach your goals. :)
 
i dont think its cheating to use a growth aide

the only thing that pertains to hair, that I would consider cheating (that i can think of at the momemt) is wearing a weave or wig and claiming its your real hair. really, its just lies... and if someone is doing that... they are cheating themselves and anyone who actually follows, or believes them.

but growth aides... no... its not cheating. imo
 
Okay...well I say let the cheating begin!!!! :yep:

j/k

I think anything that positively promotes great over-all health and hair growth should be added to the regimen within reason.:yep:

I consider the growth aid that I use part of MY consistent regimen, so no, I don't think using growth aids as cheating. As a preveious poster mentioned, who exactly am I cheating? :rolleyes:

Using "hair growth aides":

Uhm...as in "wearing makeup" to have the "beauty" you feel you do not have without it? or "exercising your body" to get it into the shape you want it? or "wearing a wire or uplift bra" cause...otherwise....lol....or wearing "deodorant"...cause ....otherwise...? My point is that:

If using growth aids to increase the scalp circulation to enable my hair to grow faster, thicker, longer......
YEAH...I am a cheater...but I rarely if ever wear makeup, or exercise, ( I do watch what I put into my body though, and I wear a bra and deodorant.
I do not eliminate one single thing and act as if the one thing is "cheating" while the rest are just "okay."
What I am cheating is time, slow growth etc. I think it's all good.
When you have long hair....people really do not care in the long run how you got it...they just see it and often want the same thing for themselves! bonjour

I wonder what brought this topic on :perplexed.

if someone has criticised you, let it go...
cause if you think growth aides are cheating. then no more glasses for vision impaired. no more breast implants (cancer victims (choice)), no more proactiv.... blah blah blah
I'd like to be on a beach right now, getting my sun on.... yah that's right! cheating winter....:beach:
 
If growth aids were effective enough give an "unfair" advantage, pretty much everybody would using them and have hair swangin' all down their backs. IMO, growth aids aren't consistent enough to bring about any substantial comparative advantage.
 
Because of the lifestyles we lead and the type of diets we have our bodies sometimes dont have enough of the proper nutrients it needs.

For example when people start taking certain supplements that are naturally occuring in their body but they are deficient of they reap the benefits not only in their hair but in their entire bodies. :yep:

Aiding in your growth is typically trying to mimic something that your body is naturally supposed to produce but lacks for a number of reasons. The benefits you receive from these products are because of the introduction of said product to your system or your hair that you may have previously lacked.

The people who take MSM noticed a difference in their joints as well as their hair. People who take B5 noticed a difference in their skin and their hair. They are providing the supplements that your body lacks for one reason or another.

Topical treatments have properties that mimic the natural occurance of the hair to create an optimum environment for growth. The adding of jojoba oil which is similar to the oils our scalp naturally produces is needed for those who's scalps do not produce enough. Sulfur has been known, when applied topically to have similar results as when taking internally. Alot of the topical products out there are only creating an optimum environment for growth. If you eat right and exercise and establish a healthy hair regime you would also be creating an optimum environment for growth.

These products can only work as much as the care that is taken to facilitate the progress gained. If you exercise every day but eat poorly, it will counteract any potential benefit you hope to recieve. Supplementing what you lack and maintaining a routine to faciliate the benefits gained is the best approach for any type of growth or any aspect of life for that matter. :yep: God bless you all.

Oh, that's not what I meant at all. It's just easy to get caught up in getting x inches of ng & then forget about or slack on doing the proper things to retain it (protective styling, d/cing, etc). I don't really see anything wrong with growth aids if the person does the right things to retain the growth, too. :)

There is no such thing as cheating hair growth in my opinion. If it helps it grow, thats just being smart.
 
If you have something thats giving you a growth spurt...please share I will gladly cheat all day long:lachen::lachen::lachen: j/k like another poster stated "Do what you gotta do", I know I am.:yep:
 
In short, nah, I don't think this is even a cheatable category. Most of the time anyway when your hair grows past the "normal" length for bg's you get the question-what did you use to make your hair grow so long?

Whether it's mtg or plain ole sulphur 8, you're expected to have done SOMETHING to: a. Make it grow b. Make it grow faster or c. kept it from breaking off.

I too will be cheating right on down to bsl:yep:
 
Girl, No!!! Actually what we are doing is claiming our rights to have naturally long hair like our Asian, Latin and Causcasian sisters; that we are long overdue. Who knew that Black women could grow hair down to our waists? I sure as heck didn't. I didn't know that I didn't have to be mixed with indian or Spanish or white blood to have long hair. People have been telling me that the reason that my hair is long is because I may be mixed with a some Indian. I used to believe that. Now i see that with a proper care regimen our hair can grow. Using growth aides isn't cheating it's using good sense. Besides the best growth aides are washing and conditioning your hair, moisturizing and proper diet, exercise and plenty of water:yep:
 
No b/c the hair still had to grow on its own. Growth aids (topical) simply improve the conditions of scalp so that the hair can grow at the fastest rate possible. Anything ingested basically renders a similar effect. It just provides nourishment from the inside.

We do plenty of unhealthy things on a daily basis that inhibit our body's natural tendency to do a number of things. We drink caffeine, eat genetically modified and processed foods, sit for 8 + hours at a desk looking at a computer screen. In addition to all the harmful crap we breathe in the air...its only fair that we focus on at least ONE thing that would allow our bodies to operate at its optimal level.
