Where is that thread that...........

tells you how to determine if your hair is healthy or not? I believe it involves taking a few shedded strands of hair and dropping them in a bowl of water, or something like that. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

i kno wat ur talkin about: i posted that in my blog: don't know about the thread: but the deal is if you hair sinks: then ur hair is damaged/unhealthy but if it floats: then ur hair is healthy. ~HTH~

Great!!! I knew I remembered that from somewhere, just couldn't put my finger on it. Anywhoo, I got curious this morning after washing my hair and decided to perform the strands test. I took a few of my shed hairs and floated them in water. They didn't sink, so I guess my hair care efforts have been paying off, and I've acheived one of my goals: strong, healthy hair. Now, if I can only get to WL!!

I thought that was to check to see if your hair is porous or not, it's to see if it's healthy, too?
