My hair grows too fast!

Man, back before low-carb, I always liked having long hair to hide more of
my fat face, but it just wouldn't grow fast enough for me. Now that I look
better and I don't want to hide my face anymore, I got a shorter hair cut.
It has been exactly one month since I got it cut, and I am in desperate
need of a trim. The guy who cut it said to come back every six weeks for a
trim, but it already looks way too bushy. He cut it so that it was
covering just the tops of my ears, now my ears are completely covered.
Thanks, low-carb!

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

Wow, does the LC really make your hair grow faster??

I'm going to time it, by writing down on the calendar next time I need
a trim.

I'm actually trying to *grow* my hair long - when I was heavier, I
wore my hair in short, mannish, conservative styles (and dressed about
the same way). It however 1) tends to be quite dry, 2) is naturally
curly and 3) tends to dred up when I grow it. Ah well.

I don't know about hair, but I notice far, far less acne on LC. My
skin is much better.

My hair grows faster now, too. I've noticed a definite difference in how
shiney it is, also. There have been times when I've stared at a strand of
my hair that fell out while brushing, and can't believe how shiney even a
single hair is.

My favorite side-effect of low carb is my acne-free skin. So glowing and
pretty, too, I can't believe my natural untouched face can look this good.
(that's why I have one photo in my album that is just a closeup of my face -
something I never would have done before)

I'm hoping I'll get some of those skin benefits now that I've stopped
smoking. (3 weeks as of today!) I'm going to buy some of those pore
strips tomorrow and I hope this time the effect lasts more than a couple of
hours.

Yep. LC diets are adequate in protein meaning your body can 'afford'
to 'waste' some in stronger, faster-growing hair and fingernails. It
can take a few months to see the effect, especially if you've damaged
your hair with low fat, inadequate-protein diets but many of us
long-termers have found ourselves with longer, stronger hair since
beginning LC.
