Hair speaks volumes about who we are. It is a barometer reflecting our health, our lifestyle, style and individuality. And, like us, it has its good days and bad days. It is quite amazing how a change in colour or cut alters our whole image and, as a result, how we feel and present ourselves. When nurtured, hair can glow with health and vitality, but neglected hair looks dull and lifeless. The irony, however, is that hair is dead. With knowledge and understanding, the mystery of hair problems can be solved, either naturally or artificially. Armed with this knowledge, anyone can have a beautiful head of hair. This book will examine the structure of hair, different types of hair, changes and hair loss that can occur with age, stress and illness, diet and its effect on hair condition, solutions for excess facial hair, and correct styles for face shapes, colour and skin tone, there is also a special section on men's hair.
