Does Cusi Palm Oil Really Grow Hair?

Want to find out as much about "Cusi" (Bolivian) "Babassu"(Brazilian) palm tree oil. And to find out if it actually grows hair. I've been told that it has for several of my friends but I'd like to find out more.





I've received a bottle of this oil and the label says:





Aceite De Cusi 100 % Puro


Para curar el pasmo


Arrebato


Hace salir


Crecer y negrear el cabello


Evita la caida y la picada y elimina la caspa





From the translations I've received I believe it says something like:





Grows hair


Make hair more manageable


Makes hair return to its original color





Any insight into this claim of growing hair would be really appreciated....especially from someone in the Bolivian area that has seen the results of this "tree of life" oil.

Does Cusi Palm Oil Really Grow Hair?
Absolutely not. It's just another product with big claims.





If you want to grow your hair, just understand that it will not grow more than 1/4 to 1/2 inch per month.





You need to use quality, salon shampoos, conditioners and styling products.





You need to have your ends trimmed at least 1 time every 6 weeks.





In addition, it's your diet that really helps with healthy skin, hair %26amp; nails. If you eat right, and take the right vitamins, your hair will grow at the normal average rate.





Good nutrition is vital to healthy hair growth, just as it's essential to overall good health. Although your body needs a variety of vitamins and minerals to maintain proper body functions, there are several that are specific to hair growth and health. When starting a new vitamin regime, it usually takes from 2 to 3 months to see results in your hair's condition. That means that patience and consistency is very important. It's also important to check with your doctor before starting a vitamin program, especially if you have health concerns.
