8. Issues: Shedding, extreme tangling, slow growth
Quick question all: My hair hates being manipulated and tangles extremely easily. I have been using Crown & Glory method to wash hair weekly and it has cut down on sheds and tangles. I am wondering if I can achieve more growth by a) plaiting it in 4 weekly after treating OR b) getting approx 15 thin (no added hair) cornrows and wearing, washing, treating my hair for about 4 weeks with the cornrows in -- Which method do you guys think is best? thks
