Raising the dead

Has your crowning glory become a dreaded rat’s nest? Are you doing one hair treatment after the other, looking for the next miracle cure? Tired of the same disappointing outcome?

Well, join the club! Millions of people all over the world, including myself, are looking for cures to their hair woes.

Prior to having my two kids, my hair care regime included benign neglect and indifference. It was only when my once luscious locks began to stick together like Velcro® and I appeared to have half the hair I used to, that my hair finally got my attention. In an endeavour to rid my hair of those dreadful ‘bad hair days’ I started clutching at miracle cures, quick fixes and some not so inexpensive solutions. Making little headway and with limited success, who was I kidding? It just kept getting worse! As the shedding increased and the width of my ponytail decreased, frustration set in. So, like a dog with a bone I went looking for answers.

The outcome of this book resulted from a three prong attack that included investigating medical research, folklore and hidden truths behind some outlandish claims.

After scouring the internet, partaking in online polls, stalking the forums and haunting the chat rooms, I found it! A wealth of valuable, economical and nature-friendly answers that I am going to share with you! Tips and Ideas that have brought my hair back to life.

Before I reveal to you over 50 Tips & Ideas Ideas to salvage your hair we need to establish some facts.

(If you are the sort of person who secretly reads the end of a novel first and can’t wait to get started; in Appendix- I of this book I have included a quick reference summary of Tips & Ideas and Appendix – II contains the cheat sheet of stuff to try, buy, do and avoid. Otherwise, stick around and read what I found!)

Getting our facts straight

Fact 1: Hair is dead

Unlike our skin which is alive, hair is made up of dead cells, keratin and water. Hair cannot heal the damage we may unknowingly or deliberately be inflicting upon it.

Sad but also true, you only get one chance with your hair. The short term benefits of torturing your hair into submission for a night out can come at the cost of damaging the entire structure of your precious mane. Once you’ve inflicted damage, you can’t permanently repair it. Your weakened hair becomes increasingly easier to damage and your current hair-care practices, or lack of, could be exacerbating and compounding further damage.

This is why it is so important to treat and pamper your luscious locks, to prevent damage in the first place. It’s the reason you’ve chosen to read this book!

One essential part of preventing damage is to adopt a good hair care routine.
