You mean like if a fat person keeps eating yeast rolls,then uses monistat on their scalp they will have unmanagable hair growth?I have learned so much in the last year from this board. I do have a Ph.D., but my strength is that I am a learner. I pick up new information. I research it and find out more. I care about ideas and facts, and abhor stereotypes... particularly those about black women.
The cumulative idea that I picked up from my sum total of reading and participating in this board is that a healthy body = healthy hair. Because of this board I have been more motivated to drink water, to exercise, to take vitamins, to eat more nutritious foods, and NOT lots of empty calories.
THAT is the what LHCF has been about for me.
To say that this thread is a complete contradiction to everything I've learned here is an understatement.
@the bolded- PCOS is a genetic condition...not a weight related condition. It doesn't just "come up" when someone gets fat. Although...symptoms may OR may not be aggravated by weight fluctuations. It is classified as a syndrome rather than a disease because symptoms vary from person to person. There are plenty of skinny, average, and overweight women who suffer from pcos and they symptoms that accompany it.
this thread is funny. im 109 now and weighed 87lbs well into my 30's.
i guess i should be bald
I think it has to do with body temperature. Overweight individuals have more fat on them and their body has to work harder to maintain a normal body temperate. So there is more heat/circulation going to the scalp. Same thing with runners. Ever notice how a lot of runners have longer/nice hair (and prob don't do much to it). My theory is that they are getting more blood circulation than the average individual.
I'm not talking about the people who talked intelligently about self-esteem and hair. That's a worthy topic. I could even rationalize the reason I have a Ph.D. is because I chose to focus on books and not body (or hair, for that matter.) But it IS about focus, and effort and work.
OMG I noticed this!!!!
The ladies IRL I noticed are heavier and have long pretty hair... your not crazy!!!
Actually I was just reading in another post - forgot which one - where one of the posters said her male friend said the same thing - that bigger women always have prettier hair - because they focus on their hair as their best feature instead of their figure. Did that make sense?
