Dryness:

Breakage:

- Incorporate regular deep conditioning treatments to strengthen the hair. Watch the tutorial and Learn more here.

Flat crown:

Growth
- Growth stems back to hair-health, use a scalp scrubber with our scrunch out the crunch oil just before you shampoo (do this every 3rd wash), along with a clarifying shampoo.
