This is not true. It's a common misconception.
The hair strand is continuous, and though hair is dead, it has layers that are continuous and feed right from the bulb. What you give to your body is not only apparent in the new growth, it is also spread throughout the core of the hair- (again because the entire strand is one continous length and it feeds out from the bulb). Since there is no disconnect between the bulb and the rest of the hair, what is available to the hair at the root, will eventually spread out to the tips/ends of the strand. You may notice it first at the new growth, but it will also make a difference in the hair that has already grown out (though this may take longer).
You can see between the root (bulb and papilla) and the rest of the strand, there is no division or block to the spread of nutrients and minerals to the rest of the shaft. This is one of the main reasons doctor can take tell whether you have ingested certain drugs by studying your hair strands (whether the roots are in tact or not!)
Oh yeah PS- I'm in too!
yes this is true. But like I said- even though it starts with the new growth, that doesn't mean only the new growth will reap the benefits. The entire strand will eventually benefit as well. As I mentioned- the new growth will just show it first. It's a misconception that you'll only see the benefits of water/vitamins/minerals etc from the new hair that grows after you've added these things to your diet.
its all good girl, i hope it moves all down the hair shaft
Iris, you KNOW you wrong for drinking Gatorade, Gatorade ain't no water! You gotta drink water and suffer like the rest of us!
Yeah, what she said! Haha, but Gatorade is starting to sound good now. It is rehydrating and good for your body. I think Iris has a good idea. I will now try to resist runing to the store to get some....

nah girl it has alot of other stuff you dont need unless you need it, know what I mean?
I know what you mean. I might go get some because I do need it. I will still be drinking my water though. Day 3 and I already have more energy and generally feel better. This challenge is definitely helping me. I am glad she thought of this one (misery loves company right?
I've been doing better. I was sick (hopefully not morning sickness) this weekend and to keep from getting dehydrated I upped the water even more...hate being sick.
