Women With the Strongest hair in the world!

I love my hair but I can't Imagine deep conditioning 5 times a day. I wonder what made them say let me hang by my hair. Suppose their first attempt was them landing on the floor with broken hair ?!
 
They did a few other things that are on this board :yep:

1) Inversion

2) Protective style (braided bun)

3) Snag free ponytail holder

4) Leave in conditioner
 
They may have strong hair but it didn't look all that great -- almost as if neither of them had much of it? There is a word for it...is it traction alopecia? Where excessive pulling causes you to lose your edges from wearing tight ponytails etc as children. I think they have that because neither of them seemed to have as much hairline as they should, even though the length was glorious. Either that or I'm just accustomed to seeing thick, glorious Type 4 hair and theirs looked a little anemic to me.

The hairlines did look a little funny, but there could have been 2 things that make them look that way in the video. 1 the angle of the high bun I think made the hairline look weird, and the angle of the camera taking shots from below.
 
I don't think one needs "strong hair" to do this. Hair that is grouped together (especially braided) will not easily break by a steady force. We can take for example how easy it is to break one spaghetti stick/noodle vs how much more difficult it is to break the entire box of spaghetti noodles. Hair acts the very same way.

I personally think anyone can hang by their hair like this provided one can bear the pressure/pain. I really doubt DCing numerous times a day would contribute to stronger hair...the process of washing the hair (drenching it and drying it) alone stresses the cuticles each time. The strands swell with water and then release it, and while it's "normal damage" as we all have to wash our hair, doing it numerously throughout the day is way unnecessary, IMO. Hair that gets washed, touched and handled the least will always be in better condition than hair that is washed and handled daily.

This act is fairly new and was just added this year...I don't think any of them would suffer from traction alopecia because hair has to actually be pulled off (like waxing) for that to happen, but the force on the scalp could definitely promote hair loss overtime. I do hope they get their strands analysed regularly to make sure that their hair roots (the hair bulb) isn't getting smaller, indicating thinning and future hair loss.
 
I really don't think it has anything to do with the conditoners.
Hair is strong in numbers. Let's be real if they tried that with fewer strands and didn't prep their hair to where it's compacted together they would be bald.

I'm sure what they do helps keep their hair healthy, but anybody with a lot of hair, the right technique and if your hairs already in a healthy state could do what they do.....that's if they wanted.
 
Good for them but I wouldn't do it for any money in the world. The damage probably will not show up now but later on I'm sure they see the effects.
