Protein check

I was reading Redbook today when I saw a page about checking the health of your hair. There was one "test" you can perform, it stated take a strand of hair and place it in a cup of Water. If it floats, your Protein level is fine, if it sinks, you have a protein deficiency. With all our attempts at making sure we get enough protein, I thought this was interesting. I tried my hair and it floated. Of course, I've never seen hair sink...

Anyone else heard of this before? Anyone currently plucking their hair out now and testing? I'd love to see what people's results are.

I'll try that....but I am skeptical that weight, or lack of a Water absorbant surface is indicative of Protein....

the results are....

mine is floating and my daughter's is floating.

I took one of her's fresh.

I just took one of mine that has already fallen out....I'm shedding again.
