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
