In The News: Can Lasers Stimulate a Hair-Growth Spurt?

IMO, this is the craziest "theory" I have heard in a long time...you decide.

Do Laser Combs Work?

Story Highlights:

• A number of companies sell handheld, low-intensity lasers for home use that are intended to stimulate hair follicles, typically three times a week for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Scientists say that low-level lasers are safe and likely do act on cellular compounds that can spur hair growth.
• It's best to try the laser before your hair follicles are too damaged, doctors say. "If you've got a shiny bald head it won't do anything,"
• The only home laser device cleared for hair growth by the Food and Drug Administration is the LaserComb, which claims to increase hair growth in men.
• researchers found subjects using the LaserComb for 26 weeks saw an average increase of 17 hairs per square centimeter, or 7%, compared with a decrease of nine hairs in a control group using a sham device.
• So far the only side effects reported with the lasers have been itching and tingling of the scalp.

This island is sooooooooo pretty!!!! Its called Luli cos the island is Lulubog-Lilitaw�how clever right? =)

After Luli our flight was supposed to be at 5pm�we waited for 2 hours at the airport only for Cebu Pacific to say that our flight was cancelled!!!! First time in history that I�ve experienced this! So we had to look for a cheaper hotel cos the one where we stayed for 4 whole days was superrrr expensive! Hopefully, we can go home later. PLEASE LORD. Haayyy�Thank you to twitter and wifi or else we would literally be blind!

- 2 days in Paris

I cannot believe mads and I are 3 years already! I guess I must have done something right this time =P

To celebrate, we had ribs steak and wine at caf� Arturo =)

pink power in the underground

Pink dress from my grandma�s closet. White belt from a bazaar. Red cardigan from my mom�s closet.

This would probably count as the worst day out of all our days here in Palawan. If it weren�t for our underground river tour guide, Kuya Tuting, I would have literally fallen asleep during the whole 45 minutes inside the cave. I�m really not a cave person but I just really wanted to see what�s the fuzz.

Well, when you arrive at the site, prepare yourself and your nose coz the bats� poop really smells bad!!! But when you get inside the cave, it slowly subsides. I suggest that you bring your own flashlight and do not attempt to take pictures anymore if your cam is not SLR. I was only able to take some pics inside because the person in front of me has SLR so nakikisabay lang ako pagnagtatake na sya ng shot. LOL =P

The beach going to the cave was amaziiiing!!! The monkeys were funny and scary all at the same time =P

We were supposed to go swimming after in Sabang Beach but unfortunately, it was really the worst weather condition of our whole trip! We were able to eat around 2pm already but the food makes up for it =) Actually, ALL the food here in Palawan are oh so yummy! Everyday is buffet day�so, notice the change in my body as we go along LMAO =P

My twin cousin sab reminded me that I am almost thirty just when I turned 25! Oh my.

Since it was my bday, I ate rice for dinner after such a looooong time of eating like a kambing during dinner time! May excuse daw pag bday. LOL. Ate at the popular Kinabuch�had kare-kare and lumpia.

THIS IS THE BEST BDAY EVER!!!!! I super super love dos palmas! I wanna go baaaaackkk!!!! They say they don�t have TV sets in their room because there are a lot of activities you can do around the island and it�s true!

When you arrive in dos palmas, you�ll be greeted by all their staffs with music and welcome drinks�and you have to walk their runway like you are a supermodel =P as in mapapasayaw ka talaga LOL =)

We went swimming, snorkelling, billiards, karaoke and my fave part�.their oh so yummy yummy buffet!!!!

Another fave part is the drinks! Their bartender, Bong, was soooo sooo good and accommodating! He even gave us free kasoy pulutan! And sorry nez but I think dos palmas has the best mojito!

Even if the beach is not that ok talaga, the really stepped up the notch with their service =)
