I understand people being concerned about taking supplements and doing "crazy" things for hair growth (like Monistat), but chlorella is a supplement that a lot of people take not even for hair...if the people posting had bad side effects, that is very unfortunate, but that's the same thing as going off because you had a bad reaction to your multi, or vitamin C. That isn't an indication of how "obsessed" we are. Each time we consume something, there is always some kind of risk due to contaminants and/or company error. Just be careful...
and I agree with the other posters about the tone...I personally cannot stand it when people say things like, "We (black women) need to be doing xyz." Yes, I am a black woman, but first and foremost, I am Elle, and I don't need to be doing jack unless I feel I should be doing it.
