Gail also encouraged women to make better and more informed hair choices to avoid damaging their hair out of ignorance.

“What this journey has taught me…is that I Am Enough…just the way I am. ☺️

It has also taught me that as women, we CAN make better, more informed hair choices…because sometimes the damage is self inflicted due to lack of knowledge.

If I can give anyone advice…seek help as soon as possible. Sometimes, you CAN prevent further and permanent damage. ??

Just know…you are not alone. #KnowledgeIsPower#HairStoration#BeEmpowered ?,” Gail said.
