Did you cut your hair and now you regret it? If it’s any consolation, we all have been there when we got our hair chopped, by choice or by mistake only to repent later. Nevertheless, now you may want to grow it stronger and longer. And so you would empty your wallets on multiple hair serums that have been marketed as suitable for hair growth.
