    About this ebook

    A woman's hair is like a delicate fabric it's unique with its own texture. It's vital that women are able to identify and embrace their own unique image and hair texture. Image in the Mirror is a conversational book designed to answer a few of the many questions surrounding the proper care of one's hair. It addresses the "good" hair "bad" hair myths and gives practical instructions for maintaining a healthy, beautiful head of hair. This book was not written to simply give ways to style the hair but rather to inspire you to become more accepting of the hair you have.

    Written in question and answer form, Image in the Mirror is a great read for individuals, book clubs or small group gatherings for women who desire to be and look their best.

      Dedication

      This book is dedicated to:

      Desiree Hoard—my beloved wife and best friend. You have been my constant supporter. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and input in making this book become a reality. You are truly a gift from God! He knew exactly what I needed when He created you. My love for you grows stronger each day. You truly are the glue that keeps me together!

      Alberta Gipson—my late grandmother, who always made me feel special, taught me the importance of hard work, and told me to always strive to be the best I could be, no matter what I pursued.

      Doris Gipson—my late mother, who always believed in me and encouraged me to pursue my dream.

      Preface

      Few people really discover their passion in life, and I am grateful to have discovered mine. I find great value in what I do because I am an image maker!

      As far back as I can remember, I dreamed of being a hair designer. I did not want to be just another hair stylist; because my greatest desire was to use my creative abilities to help others look and feel their best.

      By the time I made it to college my focus had shifted, and I pursued a degree in marketing instead. Soon after stumbling upon an article written about the legendary Vidal Sassoon, however, something in me sparked, and my fire was relit. I wholeheartedly began following my original dream.

      Like Vidal Sassoon, I decided to pursue hair design, and following my grandmother’s advice, my goal was to be my absolute best. I sought and received the best training available at that time and studied hard to be at the top of my profession.

      Today I’m not only an educator but also a salon owner of more than thirty years. I have had the honor of making people look their best and the privilege of training others in my field to do the same. From my early days as a designer, I had a passion to share with others the knowledge I acquired. When I became an educator, passion met reality.

      I’m thankful for the many doors that have opened for me. I’ve been blessed to work with many renowned designers and for several reputable organizations, including an international hair care company.

      My numerous experiences have allowed me to learn about and work with all hair types and many different nationalities.

      The thoughts and ideas shared in this book have been tested and proven on thousands, and I’m honored to be able to share some of what I have learned with you. In an industry that is constantly evolving, there is always so much more to learn. What I am sharing here with you will only scratch the surface.

      As an educator, my mind is always open to new ideas and better ways to serve my clients. This book is a culmination of years of hard work and dedication to my profession.

      Acknowledgments

      Tommy Sharell & Cedric Dale Hoard, my two sons—you have both given me so much joy as I have watched you grow from babies to boys and from boys to men. I believe that God has great things planned for both of you. I am so proud of you and love you greatly.

      Lisa Hightire—thank you for inspiring me to get started on this book and for the numerous hours you sacrificed laboring as if it were your own. May God abundantly bless you and your family!

      My valued clients—thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you and for putting your trust in me.

      Introduction

      Over the years I have had hundreds and maybe even thousands of verbal consultations with individuals about their hair. This book is being written in question-and-answer format, as I desire to draw you, the reader, into the conversation. I want you to feel like you are part of the dialogue. Imagine yourself sitting with friends, having questions about your hair, but not knowing whom to ask or even how to ask them. This book is designed to answer some of those questions. Please join Lisa Hightire, a longtime client, and I as we examine this inexhaustible subject together.

      As you read, my desire is that you develop a greater understanding and appreciation of your own individual hair type while celebrating your own unique Image in the Mirror.
