Out of interest what form of vitamin e was used in that study.
Was it the form used in the study i linked to earlier?
Probably tocotrrienols.
the truth is it doesn't say, from what i gather most existing research on vitamin e is for tocopherols.
The wiki page says that less than 1% of studies of vitamin e are on the tocotreinol form, so far the only double blind study i've read about (and linked to in honour of powersam) said that tocotrienols were beneficial for hair, I've not read any study that conflicts with this.
So freakout you'll have to forgive me if I don't think the link you posted about vitamin e and hair is relevant to tocotrienols.
More studies may show that actually they are a load of guff, but until that day ....
