From the inside flap of the dust jacket:
This book is your exclusive appointment with one of America's top hair specialists.
For over twenty years George Michael of Madison Avenue has dedicated himself to helping the thousands of women who steadfastly refused to give in to the latest hairstyling fad - whether it was a bubble hairdo, a shag cut, or an Afro. Today his clients remain women who treasure the healthy, sexy look of naturally beautiful hair. Here too, he shares his professional secrets for growing healthy, gorgeous longer-length hair.
George Michael begins by explaining how hair actually grows and is fed by the proper balance of vitamins, proteins, and minerals in one's daily diet. Then he goes on to discuss everything he knows about hair care: the do's and don'ts of shampooing and conditioning; proper techniques of brushing and scalp massage; methods for coloring, curling, and straightening that will not damage hair.
Then there are all George Michael's tips on styling shining luxuriant hair; how to trim away split ends; how to even-out odd lengths during the growing-out stage; how to master a basic setting pattern; and then variations on that pattern. Plus useful tricks on achieving a completely new look - like bangs or a shag style - without ever cutting your hair.
George Michael's prescription for longer, more beautiful hair has enhanced the beauty of thousands of women from all walks of life - professional women, housewives, and students, actresses and models, the famous and not-so-famous, young and old. And everything he has learned from them about hair is in this book - a beauty book dedicated to the proposition that your hair is potentially your sexiest, most enchanting asset.

George Michael's world-famous methods of hair care have been reported in such major women's magazines as Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour, and Mademoiselle - as well as in newspapers across the country. He appears frequently on television as the guest of Dinah Shore, Mike Douglas, and Joe Franklin. The list of clients who come to his Madison Avenue salon includes the top names of stage and screen.
