12. Have you ever had a hair tragedy? What was it? How did you recover from it?

Yes and it happened when I had my first child. I had surgery during delivery and left extension in my hair for a while. Because of hormonal changes, nerves, and the medications I was prescribed, my blood was weakened and this resulted in serious hair loss. I had to change my diet completely, to one that included drinking plenty of water, and foods high in alkalinity (i.e. green leafy, herbal teas, lots of juicing, etc.).

Keep the blood clean by drinking dandelion tea, and eating or juicing the herb daily.
