The world of hair
Hair, like beautiful wood, can be shaped, moulded, coloured and, if properly looked after, made to shine with health . Yet all too often this crowning glory of ours is neglected. And then it can look shoddy, dull and lifeless.
Hair so often fails to do for us exactly what we expected. Its behaviour raises endless questions, sometimes almost despairing :
Why did my hair suddenly collapse just before that vital interview ?
Why did my hair look fine when I walked out of the salon yesterday, and terrible this morning ?
Why were the results of that home colour so disappointing ?
Why does a woman's hair so often fall out after she has had a baby ?
Why do so many men (and some women) go bald ?
This book explores the nature of hair, its care and maintenance, and the cosmetic and medical problems that can (and often do) affect it. Above all this book points out the ways in which the individual, the hair care industry and the hair stylist can work together to create healthy hair.
