Martha Stewart attributes the fullness of her shiny, famous hair to a daily, cold pressed green juice, made with ingredients from her garden greenhouse. If you’ve hankered to upgrade your hair game before an upcoming wedding (or other event), but don’t have a personal organic garden (or the Breville Juice Fountain she uses), the beauty industry has your back. Whether you’re a bride or groom, attendant or doting parent , whether you’re after longer hair, stronger hair, more hair or shinier hair, the options abound. As they sing in Hair: “Give me a head with hair, long beautiful hair, shining gleaming steaming flaxen waxen. Give me it down to there, hair, shoulder length or longer.”
