Before you even begin to learn about how you take care of your hair you need to understand what it is and what it’s not. You’ll know more about hair chemistry than you’d probably like to but it will make a powerful impact on how you choose products for you hair.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

1. The most important structures of the hair shaft
2. The 2 key types of oils in the hair and why not having enough of each can lead to damage
3. The hair’s defence system and why it’s critical to the support and structure of your hair
4. The importance of ‘linkages’ and the hair structure
5. The key part of the hair the contributes to your ability to style and manipulate your hair – without breakage
