It all begins within. Do you tell your hair that you love it despite its type, texture, current condition or length? Or are you at war with it? The truth is, your hair can hear you. (Yep, your hair has ears!) In my 20+ years as a hairstylist, I realized early on that when clients complained about how much they hated their hair, their hair would hate them right back. No matter what I would do to make their hair better, I just couldn't get the results I was striving for. The best conditioning treatments out there were no match for the loathsome hair talk.

Eventually, I added a new service to our salon menu- MIRROR WORK. Before leaving my chair, I would have them look in the mirror and say (out loud), "I love my hair." As you can imagine, there was some resistance at first, but they got through it. I also made a rule that no client was allowed to make negative remarks about their hair in the salon or at home. The results were quite interesting. Within a short time, there was noticeable improvement. Now, don't get me wrong, no one suddenly went from sparse strands to a mane like Farrah. However, there was a difference for sure! When the thoughts and feelings about it changed, problematic hair began to look better, feel better and for some, grew longer than it ever had before.
