Asked By:fafyx

Had braids and weaves for year and used to have bald patches around my temples but it always grew back. I stopped pulling on my hair and weave and am using tricologic and minixedol 2% for a month now and I can see improvement, but now i noticed I have very thin hair and it's not getting better. How can I make my hair thick again?
