That is totally disgusting and NO it's not true.

No, that's not true. It is true that if your hair is dirty, you will stink and no one will want to sit by you on the bus.

no it will fall out if it gets too dirty

This is a fallacy. Clogged hair follicals give the appearance of thick hair, but not longer. More important is the health of your hair. Wash it twice a week.

Your hair growth is a matter of genetics and not personal grooming habits.

try every 2 or 3 days. that is really gross. no one likes a greasy girl

no. your hair will grow faster after you've cut it off completely

Where is the science in that?

I've never heard that one before. You should wash your hair more often than that to remove sweat, dirt, oil that can accumulate on your scalp and cause scalp problems.

and you even thought twice about that. the only thing dirty that grows is plants.lol.

There is no way to make your hair grow faster. It grows from the roots and, just like other parts of your body, grows at whatever rate it wants to. The only way to keep your hair longer (a.k.a. seems to grow faster) is by keeping your split ends trimmed and find shampoos that are made for hair proned to split ends, such as Long & Strong by Garnier Fructis

How clean your hair is or how often you cut it has nothing to do with how fast it grows. There is nothing you can really do to hair after it's "out of your scalp" to change growth rates. It's an old wive's tale based on 1) you can damage your hair and it will break off if you do some things which makes it appear to grow faster or slower, and 2) people didn't use to know that hair is dead, it isn't a living thing --- the roots are alive, not the shaft. Ergo, treat your scalp right (keep it clean) and eat right for maximum hair growth.

ITS NOT TURE. GO WASH YOUR HAIR..

ewww.

If you are black and you hair is relaxed then 3 weeks is fine. (for the white folk, relaxed is very dry and porous and does not need to be washed daily even weekly and no it doesn't smell).

If you are not black and you hair is not relaxed then yeah thats nasty you should wash ur hair

Absolutely not! The reason why hair seems to grow faster with fewer washings is because the hair is not manipulated so much while washing. To combat this, be very gentle while washing and detangling the hair. Invest in a good wide-tooth comb and a detangling conditioner, and don't wash your hair like they do on the commercials with all of it on top of your head -- that causes more tangles. Instead, wash it hanging down and section if you have to. Comb through starting at the ends and working your way up slowly to the roots. Treat your hair like it is fine silk and you will have less breakage and retain more growth! Good luck!
