Question

My daughter is biracial (black-white), her hair hasn’t been growing like it used to. What would be the best thing for her?

Elanna Lindo

I have been through that process as well. I treated it by applying natural oils like tea tree oil, castor oil and adding Aloe Vera to my hair. Ensure that your daughter is eating healthy, her hair treating routine is adequate and her hair is not being dyed, bleached, heat styling and processing too much, as that can contribute to decreased hair growth.
