Birth control pills in Dominican conditioners?

[browncrownQt]

A friend of mine that frequently goes to a Dominican hairdresser in Atlanta,GA told me that her hair dresser uses crushed birth control pills in their conditioner. Has anyone heard of this? Is their any truth to this?

I never heard of it and where would they obtain the pills in such a quantity at a low enough price to use in their conditioners? Perhaps she means pre natal pills.

the mother of my high school classmate owned a salon and did this. I'm not sure what the benefits are or how it impacts hair health/growth.

I live in San Antonio, and I have heard of it from a co-worker that his hispanic. She has really long thick hair. so there could be some truth to this.

I've never heard of this before.. What salon in ATL does this? What are the benefits?

This reminds me of two things...the BB miracle gro used to have estrogen in it, I think this stimulates growth maybe..and not SO related, but I was looking at the ingredients to my Elasta QP Design Foam last night, and it contains Nonoxynol-9..spermicide! What the hell?!?!?

Birth control or Pre-Natals? I'm confused. I don't know what's in either. Does anyone else? I thought B/c pills had hormones... testorone, progesterone or something. Pre-natals are just vitamins, right? How much benefit could they have topically?

I've noticed that too, it's in lots of products. I think it's the emolient base.

I have heard of this too. I am a firm believer that topical treatments of vitamins and hormones don't work for hair growth so I don't buy it. If my stylist does it, more power to her but it doesn't phase me any.
