Asking for advice

Customer: I recently cut my hair as they started falling out, it was very unhealthy as I used too many chemical products. Now I want to grow it out fast. What can I do?

Hairdresser: Unfortunately there are no miracles for undoing the damage that has been done to your hair, Madam. It is really too short.

Customer: Can you please suggest me some tips to make my hair grow faster?

Hairdresser: There is nothing that can be done to make your hair grow faster, it will grow at its own rate, regardless of which products are applied to your scalp. The best advice that I can give you is

that you will need a good shampoo and conditioner.

Customer: Can lotions force hair to grow faster?

Hairdresser: I’m sorry, it is impossible. The time it takes for your hair to grow is based on your individual genetic and it cannot be altered by any product. If you are particularly worried about your aesthetic damage, seek the advice of a good hairdresser so that it can change your style to enhance your features.
