Pamela Ferrell, co-founder of natural hair care institution Cornrows & Co in Washington, DC, treats the client’s entire body as opposed to just the hair. In caring for natural hair, she has noticed a recent increase of hair loss in clients of all ages. Here is how she approaches such serious hair care problems: “Thirty years ago, we would see a lot of breakage and hair loss because of chemical processing. Now we see a lot of hair loss that is nutritional, systemic. We’re seeing young girls, as young as 16 years old, coming in with hair that is stunted. There may be about ¼ inch of growth from the scalp, or just no growth in areas. Once we put them on a good nutritional regimen, the hair grows back.” Thus, this particular natural hair care business includes diet consulting in its business model, an innovation that traditional black hair care entities would likely never contemplate.
