Let's Talk about Hair

About the Book

Through the lens of her hair struggles, Lynn Gauthier takes us on her life’s journey: hair salons, hairstylists (some she'd rather forget), and unforgettable hair stories. Gauthier’s experiences not only shaped her hair but also brought her astounding insight into the nature of her personal struggle with vanity and the search for perfection. She begins her story with excerpts from her daily journal that led to her epiphany that she had self-image issues, marking the beginning of her recovery from the vanity that had strangled her for years. She recalls seasons of hair changes and relates them to the pathways of an evolving spiritual life, from her early school days through two marriages and finally motherhood. Most every woman alive has a hair story and will relate to Gauthier’s stories about hair and our emotional attachment to it.
