The cheese bread made with almond meal is surprisingly tasty. I can only imagine what it will feel like when I do get it retouched! My advice, if you're getting the book, read it, identify and discard your bad habits, experiment with as many products as you're comfortable, and begin your journey towards healthier hair with a lot LESS breakage (in my experience).She recommends reading the book over again.
