Has anyone heard of using seaweed products for hair growth? I was given this natural seaweed powder from my physical therapist. And it was given to me for the inflammation in my back, it also reduces eczema.
Anyways, I was wondering if this could also benefit natural hair. It is natural and it contain omega-3 and 6.
So I was seeing if anyone knows more about this....Because I'm gonna go ahead and research this for myself by applying it to my hair with deep conditioner for 15 minutes under a dryer and then washing it out.

In addtion, some seaweeds, such as nori, are high in protein, while brown seaweeds contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis. Iodine, iron, phosphorous, potassium, manganese, porphyran, copper, and zinc are also found in seaweeds.
