Odd NSV but I'll take it!

I was at the hairdressers yesterday and my hairdresser asked me 4 times whilst cutting my hair - "what have you done to your hair? it used to be quite brittle and I had to be really careful blow drying it but now it feels in great condition and really strong!".... at this point I had to stop him from pulling on it to demonstrate his point! so all I can put it down to is the fact I've switched from junk food (pizza + chinese etc) to lots of eggs, tofu and veggies (I'm vegetarian) so I must be getting a lot more vitamins and minerals in my diet

Wonderful, my hair has been growing like crazy since I been eating healthy and exercising. People are commenting how long my hair long my pony tail is. At one time a person thought I had piece on. I said this all my hair. Great News.

Thats actually a very good NSV>...I come from "good hair" genes, but my hair is going nuts like it did when I was pg and taking vitamins. Im thinking about weaving a rug from all the extra I have now!

Thanks guys!

christinalovexo - thanks for the tip - yes interested in 'green' smoothie recipe providing its low cals (no avacodo's!) lol

msjac23 - I'm swishing my hair round now happy in the knowledge others are enjoying the same experience!

lol! good hair genes? you are blessed. I've always had fairly shiny hair but very fine + flyaway and it's got worse as the weight went on and stress at work. Omg I almost wrote 'gotten' in that sentence - there's so many Americans on MFP I think I might be morphing into one lol!

No avocados! I like them, but wouldn't put it in my smoothie! I wonder how that would taste.

Green Smoothie--- 1/2c peaches ( i use del monte snack cups, no sugar added) 1/2c mango (fresh), 1/2 pineapple (i use skinny fruits, no sugar added) and LOTS of spinach! I try to put about 1.5- 2cups... the pineapple can be substituted for banana, but I don't like it, or blueberries for a dark green smoothie. I buy packaged fruit because it is easier and cheaper for me, but def no sugar added! Sometimes I add a splash of almond milk, or you can add protein powder, and don't forget ice!.

I started drinking them for breakfast with an egg white omelet and my personal experience is that it gives me enough energy that I don't need coffee or any other stimulant, and my skin is clearer and more even. Of course you would need to drink it every day for a while before results would show! Also it is not high in cals, my tracker shows between 140- 160 cals depending on servings.
Hope you try it an enjoy!

^^^ thanks for that! I will try it and let you know what I think - I'm tempted to go for the blueberry dark green one - I agree with you, although I love nana's, they sometime thicken drinks too much to the point of being gloopy eww (although I used to love pina colada's!). Funny you should mention Almond Milk - heard about that for the first time the other day and am keen to try it. Thanks again for the smoothie recipe

xtinalovexo

youre most welcome dear! the banana makes it just too banana-y and almond milk unsweetened vanilla is divine!

My hair has gotten some of its old thickness back... And because my natural self confidence is higher, I stopped bleaching it several months ago, went back to my natural dark dirty blonde... And it feels better looks better, has grown a bunch and definately feels heavier too!!

I also will have to try the smoothie. Thanks!

I've had hair falling out like crazy. But in a good way. I'm growing more on top and my straggly bleached then dyed ends just can't compete so they are falling out. Right now it isn't too noticeable - just a little thicker on top and thinner near the ends. My hair has always grown slowly so I hope it speeds up a bit too or I'll be investing in a shorter 'do for a while.

We'll all be l'oreal girls soon! Good to hear your results - I'm hoping mine will grow a bit thicker too.
