A man once told me that women can't have a social conversation without eventually getting to the topic of hair. I thought he was nuts, but then I started noticing how often the subject of hair, especially shiny healthy hair, comes up. Maybe he was just jealous. Hair can make or break your look, and can go a long way to compensate for an otherwise lazy beauty effort. Hair loss can be traumatic, and damaged hair is hard to recover from. Learn how to keep it beautiful and healthy, and why I think any woman at any age should keep her hair long if it makes her feel good.
