Tips...
1. Take clear photos of just washed and dried hair in good light without using a flash. You should do this before beginning
your hair programme and again at the 3, 6, 9 and 12 month marks. Haircycles last 3 months so any changes to your programme will not
be apparent for at least 3 months.
2. Don't stress! Stressing about your hair may make you lose more. Learn to relax!
