About this title

Review:

"The writing style will have you in the critical thinking mode. It was well thought out and great to read. I learned something new."

"I loved how she took a challenges and solutions approach. This dovetails well with the consultation chapter. Being able to identify these challenges and then have the power to provide direction to medical practioners or know what we can provide as natural hair care providers was well presented"
