What is can you use on african american hair to make it grow & be healthier?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vitamins & Minerals: Biotin, zinc and iron are all important for hair to grow well. Taking 100% of the recommended daily allowance of these for a few months and help hair grow thicker. Minimize the use of heat and chemical relaxers on the scalp as both can thin hair over time. Consult a dermatologist to check thyroid hormone and other labs.
