5 Weird Hair Treatments
We all work extremely hard to keep our hair healthy. Some of us a little harder than others, or let me say, some are more willing to TRY just about anything to maintain their tresses. Here are some bizarre treatments individuals have done to help maintain, style, or grow their hair longer.
Bull Semen
I promise you this isn’t a bunch of bull…..well, then again…..anyways, truth be told, indeed bull semen has become an increasingly popular treatment method for a swanky UK beauty salon. Supposedly the Angus bull sperm is incredibly rich in natural proteins that absorbs deeply into the hair shaft helping nourish it from the inside. The salon staff member’s say their clients rave about how they never have witnessed their hair appear so shiny until after this treatment. Subsequently through the proposed strong nourishing and revitalizing result, it has acquired a nickname of “Viagra for the hair.” Think this treatment comes cheap? The price for this kind of procedure is above $100.Whooa!
Monistat
Over the last several years there has been some hype in the natural black hair community regarding Monistat for increased hair growth potential. Now I know this may sound utterly ridiculous, however several women have claimed their hair have grown more than the average ½ per month after using this vaginal intended cream on their scalp.
The active ingredient in Monistat is Miconazole Nitrate, which purpose is to treat fungal infections. Many believe if you foster a healthy scalp you will create a great growth environment that can increase your hair growth potential.
Reported by Medical professional TJ Darden, a board accredited medical doctor and Health Director for Bon Secours Connect Care Hamton Roads with interest in minority health, lifestyle medicine, and global health there hasn’t been any scientific studies that proves Monistate increases hair growth, cure tinea capitis or fungal hair infections.
She believes the reason the hair may grow is due to Monistat capability to destroy fungal related scalp infections that could bring about hair growth, not as a result of some implicit property of Monistat.
She also believes there are alternative to treat problems of the scalp like seborrheic dermatitis or tinea capitis. One can use a sulfide shampoo like Selsun Blue or ketoconazole shampoo such as Nizoral.
Beer Wash Down
Heyyy! Before you throw away those half empty beer bottles, check out what you can do with the leftovers. Beer is typically created from hops and malt which are supposedly known for wonderful protein sources required to bolster and restore dry destroyed locks. Reportedly, together with proteins, you can receive other incredible vitamins and minerals for example magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, B Vitamins (particularly biotin) and maltose from beer.
Biotin is known to reduce hair thinning and enables stimulants to enable healthier hair development. Additionally, it is said to keep dermatitis absent. The maltose present in beer will supposedly help sleek and shrink hair cuticles so that your locks show up far more sparkly and rich in life.
Gorilla Snot
In the United States, Gorilla Snot can be used to assist guitar players keep hold of their picks. However in Mexico, it’s utilized as a hair gel. “Moco de Gorila” is created by a company based in Mexico called N.I.S.A. and it is expected to offer an intense hold for all the extravagant hairstyles that require Gorilla strength. Don’t you just love the product container! A gorilla rocking a mohawk, wearing earrings with a runny nose. Wow!!
Placenta
Biology refresher: The placenta is the organ that links a developing fetus on the uterine walls through the umbilical cord. There is a conditioning treatment on the market called Hask Henna ‘n’ Placenta which is a Henna conditioning treatment. The development of Hask placenta begins with a sheep. Thus, animal protein, not human protein, is used.After the mommy sheep has her baby, placenta is obtained from the mom. The operation is reported harmless. Rather than getting rid of the placenta, the placenta is utilized for a protein-building hair treatment.
Hask states that the Henna ‘n’ Placenta Conditioning Procedure fixes and fortifies dried out, fragile, dull hair.
Some businesses also employ lambs and pig placenta within their cosmetics. Hask hair placenta treatments are available in numerous beauty provide retailers or supermarkets.

ingredients. I pour onto dry hair, massage scalp and continue until bottle
is empty. Allow to sit in hair for 30 mins, put on shower cap. Rinse hair

I haven’t used beer on my locs for ages, so thanks for the reminder! I’m going back to using it. As I remember, the best beer to use is one with a lot of sediment; namely, Jamaican, Belgian and German beers. Massage through your hair and leave under a shower cap while you have your bath/shower.
