Have you ever experienced a headache so severe that you felt life wasn’t worth living?

We all know that hair can go wrong. Horribly wrong. And we have all come across a photograph of ourselves with what can only be described as a style atrocity ensconced on our usually fashionable head.

While most of us know when our hair has gone wrong, sometimes it not so clear why. Sometimes, we call these abominations bad hair days – as though the bad hair were inevitable or an act of God.
