The Hair Bible: A Complete Guide to Health and Care

Providing a complete guide to preserving and enhancing the health and appearance of hair, this guide explains how to identify hair type and select shampoos and conditioners to match it; how to avoid the dangers inherent in potentially damaging processes, such as dying, permanent waving, coloring, and bleaching; and the use of brushes, curlers, and pins. Everyday problems such as split ends and dandruff are addressed as are less common problems that may be the result of allergies, ill health, or climate. There are chapters on babies’ and children’s hair, and issues that may arise in pregnancy or old age are covered. Whether hair is viewed as a crowning glory, a problem that just won’t go away, or something that’s going away all too fast, this book provides answers to just about any hair question.
