One at a time. I am posting this first because this is about daily washing and we are talking about that now. I believe this is from 1999:
FAST GROWING HAIR
Here's the dilema: You've cut your hair short and want to grow it long in a hurry. Or, you've got long hair and want to grow it longer to compete with Diane Witt for The World's Longest Hair. Can anything be done?
YES! The solution is easy.
You've certainly noticed that hair and fingernails grow much faster in the summertime than in the winter. The reason is that hair and nails grow faster when they're moist and warm. In the summertime, we tend to perspire more, and we tend to bathe more often. These cause faster hair and nail growth.
So the answer to growing your hair fast is to bathe or shower at least daily (works even better if you bathe twice a day), and let your hair stay wet as long as possible, rather than blow drying it right after your shower. Frequent swimming, hot tubbing and saunas will also help.

I was reading some old health magazine when I learned that plants and hair are similar in most aspects. They both need watering, pruning and care. So I, being an inquiring mind, asked my green-thumbed aunt and grandmother what it takes to get their plants big, tall and healthy. Their answers were nothing new; fertilizer, a little plant food, and plenty of fresh water and sunlight. The key to it all was the soil. The soil alone can grow a plant, but the fertilizer and plant food help to speed things up. As we all learned from fourth grade science class, warm moist soil delivers nutrients to the root of the plant, enabling it to grow.
So I thought, how can I apply this knowledge to my hair. I came up with a little theory. It is what I have been doing for this last week anyway. I have to create a warm, moist environment for my scalp. "Watering" my hair everyday would allow nutrients I need to reach the roots of my hair. Since we don't have much sunlight in New York, the warmth comes from a warm heating cap. I also concluded that, ( I guess), the "fertilizer" and "plant food" would have to be some kind of scalp oil, but I am kind of skeptical to go back to grease.
Well, it took almost 20 years, but I have finally realized that the secret to growing hair long isn't in any book about hair, but in a plant book. I actually went to the library and checked out a botany book.

My hair came out sooooo soft and moist. I probably won't wash everyday but probably every 2 or 3 days.
