What do these three things have in common?? No, we're not making a stew (yet)... we're talking all about the hair remedies that claim to increase hair growth, and the post that has the internet arguing with everyone about onions.
We're answering the questions:
• Do ONIONS help you grow hair
• Is RICE WATER good or bad for you
• What affects hair growth
• Is there a miracle growth ingredient
• What we can do to help maintain length and health of our hair
