How To Promote Hair Growth?
My African American daughter lost her hair February of this year to a form of alopecia as diagnosed by her doctor after testing. She did not have fungus. It is believed that it was generated from braiding her hair or using rubber bands in her hair. Her hair appears to grow but at times and then it comes to a stand still again. She has a small afro right now. What are treatment options for promoting growth. Her hair is very try and itches at time but she never has dandruff. I wash her hair once a week.
