What is the book Healthy Hair Rehab all about? Having grown up in my mother's salons, and experiencing the ups and downs women go through with their hair, I realized early on that any kind of hair trauma could be a game changer for that woman. I also could see how bad hair days or bad hair experiences greatly impacted women's lives. Some even felt depressed and had poor self esteem when their hair was in long term troubled stages. My mother was a natural hair healer and restored the hair and the spirit of those she helped. I knew this is what I wanted to do and made my career all about that; educating on preventive measures, hair care, nutrition to nurture the hair and early detection of possible health issues revealed in the hair's reaction to physical imbalance. Since I could not possibly have a personal consult with every person going through a hair dilemma, writing the book Healthy Hair Rehab is my way of sharing that message. I've laid out a different approach to hair problems. Healthy Hair Rehab is a reference and guide to help achieve and maintain the healthiest hair possible. It is also a conversation starter, to initiate discussions with beauty and health providers about hair concerns that go beyond split ends. Topics covered include: -the purpose & biology of hair -the difference between hair breakage & hair loss -protein deficiency (often associated with recent significant weight loss) -iron deficiency -thyroid disease -anemia -severe mental stress -autoimmune disease -prescription drug side effects -hormonal imbalance -hair loss after pregnancy -aging hair & menopause -hair loss from braids-weaves-hair extensions -the psychological impact of hair trauma & loss -when & which conditions require a doctor's care -scalp conditions & which ones drive hair loss -strand strategies for every age -nutrition & hair growth -quick tips for fabulous hair -facial shapes & best styles -how to find an extraordinary salon & stylist There is something for everyone, of every age, culture, complexion or texture and type in the book Healthy Hair Rehab. Hair changes with age, care and condition of health. If any reader has experienced some recent and unexplained change in their hair, Healthy Hair Rehab Now can shed some light on the possibilities.

Combat the effects of ageing in just 5 minutes a day by choosing from 30 fun and easy exercises targeted to your individual face shape. Did you know that the structure of your face is made up of more than 50 muscles, and that their fitness, to a large degree, determines its appearance? Just as we can exercise and tone our body's muscles, we can do the same with our facial muscles. This can ultimately make a marked difference in our appearance and can potentially eliminate the need for invasive plastic surgery. Too much sun, smoking, degradation of collagen layers and poor skin care all contribute to sagging facial muscles. Facial gymnastics, if done on a regular basis, can treat a variety of concerns, from "empty"- looking cheekbones, jowls and relaxed eyelids to wrinkles and impaired elasticity. Imagine a facial gym that uses only the muscles of your face. No special equipment or location is required - just some diligence and perseverance. Your smile alone works more than 25 facial muscles. So smile! The small but important risorius muscle is found in the corner of your mouth: if it's well stimulated, it can correct a drooping mouth. It also stimulates the muscles mid-face, inflating your cheeks. And nothing gives a fresher and younger look than well-accentuated cheekbones. Whether your face is oval, square, round, long or diamond shaped, The 5-Minute Facial Workout presents tips and information adapted to your shape to help you maintain your features as you strengthen muscle tone. And we've added a new section that helps you to customize your exercises to match your face type. Each page features clear instructions, with a photograph to demonstrate the movement, so the exercises are straightforward and easy to do.
