I hope someone out there can set my sister-in-law straight.  She insists 
that adding crushed birth control pills to one's shampoo will stimulate 
hair growth.  I know that hormones can stimulate hair growth (i.e. in
pregnant women, but don't they have to come from the inside??

Incidentally, if anyone knows of any REAL methods (i.e. vitamins) to affect
hair growth, I would appreciate the information.  I've been trying to grow
my hair long for 10 years, but at the rate of 2 inches per year, I get fed
up with the never ending 'growing out stage and invariably cut it.

I would appreciate any e-mail responses...
