Beauty Tip of the Day:
How quick does Hair grow?
The speed of hair growth is roughly .5 inches per month, or 6 inches per year. With age the speed of hairgrowth might slow down to as little as .1 inch a month.
Cell division is responsible for the hair growth cycle. The new cells push the hair forward to make it longer, so the new hair is added at the root. There are about 100,000 hairs on a healthy scalp of hair. Each of these hairs will, in normal healthy conditions, last for up to six years. People loose about 100 hairs per day, in normal conditions. The fallen hairs are replaced by new hair. Baldness occurs when new hairs are not being produced anymore.
Please send us YOUR beauty questions.
Thanks, Gene.

I had family visit from out of town to attend a Little League game down by the beach. They just…Read More loved the entire area, especially the splash pad and the Sandpiper. It made me stop, look around and appreciate how fortunate we are in East Haven to have such a great place for so many activities.

I'm disappointed with the new format. Doesn't seem to be very user friendly.

It's probably the same punks who broke into our cars over on Mansfield Grove AGAIN.... the police…Read More think its a bunch of teenagers because they take little things that are not of much value in any cars that arent locked..and are also doing things like slashing tires, etc all over town. They got into my car the same night! Hope you find your scooter

WE THE PEOPLE have no say in how governments govern nor how OUR money is spent. WE supposedly elect…Read More people who take the trust of the people with them when elected and do the will of WE THE PEOPLE. This has never happened. Especially in state and federal office. Once in office the power they discover they now have pushes aside the will of the people. It an attitude of we have the power and you don't. Someday, but I doubt it, we can elect those who will not loose site of why they were elected.
