"The earlier we all prioritize the health and well-being of our hair, the better [it] will be across our lifetime, - Jennifer Ashton

"Aggressive color, color process or heat process on a long-term basis is absolutely going to damage hair. That's a fact," Ashton said. "So, it's a matter of is it worth it? How much are you going to damage it, and for how long?"

There is so much stigma about mental health as well as blame. I felt that blame when my ex-husband passed.

My philosophy is to be honest. It's not about being the best. It's about being better than you were before, improving yourself. Even baby steps can be the difference in improving your health.
