I came across this sit a while back, they have nice long hair, but creeped me out after awhile. I agree with Almaz - its a hair fetish site..they are also on youtube....

I agree with most of what you're saying here. But I also believe climate plays a significant role. I live in Michigan and have always had to tweak my regimen to comply with the weather, but when I lived in California for a few years, my hair thrived with very minimal maintenance.erplexed
I am becoming a believer in the climate playing a significant role in the hair growth of not only India but in all of Asia... I am currently living in South Korea... the humid climate is similar to that of India. My diet has changed to about 80% Asian now, and I am a 95% ayurevada user here as well. My hair is growing like a weed!!! It has never grown as fast as it is growing now. The thickeness is picking up the pace as well. I started this year out in January in the Hip Length Challenge. I was almost hip length then... since then I have rapidly moved through hip length to brushing tailbone length... and believe it or not... I am about to blow through that...unbelievable. I still needed to work on thickness because of prior years damage, but even that has picked up speed and the thickening processes is now taking off as well... The next update for HL Challenge is in June so I will hold off complete buy in until then.... but I am leaning toward a 100% agreement in your comment about climate which also should included their diet and hair herbal hair products.... This is an interesting revelation.... I am in awe!!!!!

Indian women have stong strands that are unbreakable. I wonder if I step up my henna game if my stands will strengthen because I do believe that is a major contributer of why their hair grows so long. My strands are fragile.
I also used to go to this Indian grocery store and I told the clerk I wanted to grow my hair out. She suggested using henna and to oil my hair with coconut oil at night. She was an older woman with a long thick braid. (Notice they always wear those long thick braids.- protective style)

Interesting revelation!
Which would make sense with something I read a while back. I was doing some internet browsing (of course about hair). I read somewhere that this lady experimented with a her hair dresser's suggestion to wear shower caps whenever she was at home, even while she sleeps to promote faster growth.
Now of course, I didn't think much of it....
1. I don't do hair salons for obvious reasons...
2. I could not find anything on LHCF to validate this claim
Of course the idea was to create a humid-like environment but I've always been under the impression that humidity is great for moisture aka retention (not necessarily faster growth).
I have yet to try this "experiment," but according to her blog she slept in a shower cap every night and needed a relaxer after 2.5 weeks versus her normal 4-5 weeks.
My question is this:
humidity = faster growth? or humidity = moisture/rentention (or both?)
I'm confroosed

According to this article, humidity + the moisture it creates + warm weather, will make your hair grow faster during that time.....i.e. season. Mix that with a health diet and exersize.... you got it!!!!!!!!!!!
Does cutting your hair make it grow?
http://www.helium.com/items/966210-does-cutting-your-hair-make-it-grow
by Mikyle Threats
Cutting hair does NOT make it grow. What cutting your hair DOES do is maintain a nice, shiny, healthy head of hair. Hair is an appendage of the scalp. Just like nails once it grows to a certain length it is dead. This is the reason why you can cut it and it does hurt you or cause you to bleed. The hair no longer has feelings, as it lacks nerve endings. Cutting is essential to maintaining healthy hair. There's nothing worse than seeing a long head of hair and it is split from the ends to middle of the shaft. For cosmetic purposes alone you should have your hair trimmed at the least every 6-8 weeks - not cut, but trimmed.
Hair that is growing at a normal rate will grow approximately 1/2 inch a month. During warmer months hair tends to grow a little faster when feed by moisture or humidity, than in cold, dry winter months. If you were to trim your hair every month and a half your hair would grow faster than you were having trimmed. In the long run you win. So the question remains....what will make my hair grow? The answer comes from within.
The key to growing your hair lies in your diet and the nutrients you put into your body. If you don't have a very good diet regime you may want to supplement your diet with a multivitamin. Multivitamins contain a plethora of essential vitamins and mineral needed to produce healthy hair and healthy body. As a hairdresser recent studies show that a healthy dose of biotin contributes to the growth of hair. Other key "hair-growing" vitamins are vitamins A, D, & E. These vitamins are vital to creating healthy hair, skin, and nails.
Another key element is exercise. Exercise helps to improve the body's circulation of blood. Blood is how the nutrients we take in get to the different parts of our body. Not only does moving your body improve your health overall, but it can also give you a healthy mane. Regular scalp manipulations and application of a quality moisturizing conditioner, will make your hair full of live and body, which we all strive for.
Keeping your hair smooth and free of excess frizz will reduce the amount of splitting that can occur with everyday styling and damage we can cause to our hair. Wonderful hair smoothing products will contain ingredients such as, silicone or dimethicone. These two ingredients are the equivalent of putting sun block on in the summer and a coat in the winter. They protect your hair, keep the cuticle flat, and make your hair smooth and easy to comb.

I work with a lot of Indian women some American born and most still have very very long hair, so that theory doesn't always hold tru. I think it's more genetic b/c even the little girls hair is very long and they live here.

I won't argue that!....but hair in general will grow under certain conditions...i.e. climate... not saying you'll have Indian Hair... just that your hair will have some benefits....

Their diet does help their hair grow. I lived with one of my Indian friends and she used to cook for me a lot and that along with the humid summer climate made my hair grow really well. Whenever she would go to India for a month or two at a time, her hair would be noticeably longer from that short time period.

I guess everyone is different b/c I eat authentic Indian cuisine on a regular basis and spent two months in India with my Indian bff and both of us have regular growth, although hers naturally grows faster b/c of her Indian genes.
