Has anyone tried putting birth control pills in their shampoo?

Question

I know it sounds crazy but both my massage therapist and my hair stylist say that if you put birth control pills in your shampoo then your hair will be thicker and healthier.

C'mon, serious answers only, please! And, if you have tried it, how many pills did you put in what size of bottle of shampoo?

Answer 1

I've heard of that from my mom too, but I didnt believe it. She said it was a whole back in one shampoo bottle. wierd huh? LoL

Answer 2

Birth Control On Shampoo

Answer 3

This is what I found on the web:
"No — birth control pills used topically will not thicken hair. There may be a misconception that since hair loss is related to the male hormone DHT that a female hormone agent such as birth control pills may work. This is NOT true."

Also noted that several women were complaining that when they ingested birth control pills, it made their hair thinner and fall out.

Answer 4

Maybe she meant prenatal vitamins. Because that's what you are going to be taking if you don't start taking your pills instead of putting them in your shampoo. Pregnancy makes you hair and nails grow. Not to mention what it does to your waistline.

Answer 5

I've heard of that it was like 10+ years ago though, but ya it does leave hair soft..it has many vitamins that get added to the shampoo and make the hair shiny and soft no conditioner needed

Answer 6

Sounds kind of dumb...I wouldn't believe it for a second...all you are going to do is waste your bc pills and then where will you be......I'll tell you where..preggers because you used all your pills in your shampoo

Answer 7

Answer 8

How in the heck would you use a prescription drug in a shampoo to make your hair thicker? Or find a doctor to write such a script?

They are having you on.

Answer 9

Yeah...why would you waste them, and how would you go about getting a prescription for this purpose? What you CAN use, are some products with pre-natal vitamins in them (best for hair and nails).

Answer 10

Seriously, i don't think so. I think your therapist is strange and just trying one of those things that most people know as old wives tales.
