re-
lated due to the passing
away of her mum be-
cause of cancer. The
hair loss continued and
she actually thought
she had cancer as well.
Fear gripped her as her
hair was falling in
clumps. She could see
spaces on her scalp.
For every woman out
there, their hair is their
pride. “I was intro-
duced to Hair Super-
food by BEO. After
just one month of ded-
icated use, I could see
a big difference in my
hair. I thereafter started
recommending it to my
clients with great suc-
cess. This is a product
that has really worked
for me and for many of
my clients, men in-
cluded. In my 17 years
of being in the hair in-
dustry, I have never
come across a product
as amazing as BEO
Hair Superfood,” she
said. This is her num-
ber one choice for hair
loss, faster hair growth
and deep nourishment
of hair. It also works
fantastic for hair loss
caused by chemo, giv-
ing you faster and
healthier hair growth.
This product does not
contain parafinium liq-
uidum, paraffin wax,
silicones, aqua, etc.
