'I bought this pill to make me have 'good hair' and now I have high cholesterol, a lung disease, my heart's failing, my brain is leaking,etc,etc and I am going to sue!'
Are folks really that desperate? Goodness!

ichephren said:L'oreal will make millions period. Not just from AAs but from anyone who wants to change their hair texture. There are still many WW who get perms else their hair is flat and limp looking. However, even if this pill works, most AA women will still have terrible hair as many don't know how to take care of hair at all. Secondly, the pill cannot be taken during pregnancy, so at some point you'd have to relax in order to make the textures the same, or go natural. I think that instead of making this pill, they should work on making better relaxers and perming agents that retain the integrity of the hair. Also, I wouldn't mind if all the money from that research went into research for "natural breast augmentation" to discover some rare but ultrasafe plant found only in the amazon...but a girl can only dream

I swear some of this stuff is just over the top.

Besides that....a pill that changes the texture of your hair sounds scary for MANY reasons.
I can't believe how unphappy some* people are about their natural texture....that they would be willing to take a "Magic pill" to disrupt what GOD gave them!!??. This is just WRONG imo!
eta: Yes there are hormones in BC pills/patches-AND IF your taking them to achieve straighter hair you're just as SICK imo~
Also the patch was recently in the news..I think it has too many hormones in it.
Society is all about making money...they don't care about you or me. Many of US are ready and willing to DIE for straight hair WHY?

MeccaMedinah said:Notice that the only people even considering this pill have relaxers. Looks like having a natural head of hair is more than just a matter of preference.
And no I'd never take a pill that would change my hair texture. I don't fool with hormones.

The grey hair reversal seems to be about replacing a protein rather than drugs and probably could be done with food. Whatever happens, all of this will certainly be hair industry-changing.There are various reasons to think this is possible. Aids patients treated with the drug interferon alpha have had their hair straightened as a result.
