The dream is to have shiny, strong, healthy hair but the road to achieve it is in dispute. 

Is there only one route we should all take? I don’t know.

Perhaps there is one road for you and a completely different one for me. Or maybe there is one road for you and a slight detour for me. Maybe those roads change as we travel through life. Could it be that 20 year old hair is not the same as 40 year old hair? 

I don’t know about all of that but I do know this; I used to think that surface gloss was ok. I thought the primary aim of hair care was to make it look good simply because surface gloss made my hair look healthy and feel soft. 20 years on I have realised that surface gloss means exactly that - it is only a surface veneer. There is no substance, no foundation. Exactly as the statement implies that surface gloss did not penetrate which meant that my hair was in very poor health and no amount of fickle remedy could rectify it.

This called for drastic solutions - I could either shave my head or begin the walk down my road to healthy hair. The remedies available in many high street shops were not going to work and that is why I went Rebel.
