What Your Hair Knows: A Hairdresser's Notes on Returning to Yourself

In What Your Hair Knows, Lora writes from thirty-five years behind the chair, where women often arrive saying their hair is wrong and leave having named something deeper. Part hairdresser memoir, part quiet guide to self-care for women, this book looks at the connection between hair and identity, especially in the seasons when the mirror begins to feel unfamiliar.

From midlife hair changes and perimenopause hair loss to postpartum hair shedding, grey, roots, fading colour, stress, regrowth, and the ordinary care women try to manage at home, Lora offers a calmer way to understand what your hair may be showing you. This is not a promise of transformation. Not a guide to becoming someone else.

It is practical, gentle hair care for women over 40 and for any woman who has stood at the mirror wondering why her hair suddenly feels like a stranger.

Not to judge. Not to perform. To notice what is true, and begin coming back to yourself.
