Hair. It's our crowning glory. We wear it every single day of our lives, come rain, come shine. Sometimes it's AMAZING and makes you feel like you just stepped, literally, out of a salon. Other times, it's misshapen or fuzzy or lank and makes you want to disappear inside your own skin until the next possible available opportunity arises to wash it and start all over again. Sigh.

It's also quite a mysterious beast, hair. It's definitely dead, or so we think. But yet what we eat has a huge effect on it, apparently. Then there's the age old problem of shedding. Should my pillow really resemble a leisure centre changing room floor in the morning? And don't get me started on colour, product build-up and my personal Achilles' heel, frizz.
