Castor oil has been known to remove
dandruff, so I advise you to rub a few ,
drops on your scalp every night The,
oil will also prevent the - balr from
breaking. Brush your hair often, for
the oil needs to be distributed through
out the strands.
probably you can braid your hair in
two plaits in the back. Roll each plait
up and tie with a ribbon. If you will
