Hi. This is about diatomaceous earth-food grade for thin, breaking, slow growing hair. I'm 62 and found this when I was trying to detox my kidneys and liver. It had a great side effect. My hair which has always been a little longer than my shoulders and no more is now down to my waist. It's still fine but healthier and faster growing. Where my hair was thinning it has regrown. Also my nails are a little stronger and definitely healthier.
Diatomaceous earth, I believe because of the silica, I'm 99% sure was making my hair thicker. However, I had to stop because it was also giving me bleeding which started when I started taking it and stopped when I stopped.
However, theoretically any silica should work I suppose. Best of luck!
