September 2007 --
Bald is Beautiful--My Journey to Becoming will bring
inspiration to millions of alopecia sufferers in the United States through the
life struggle of author and inventor Jodi Pliszka.
Award-winning Nightengale Press author, Jodi Pliszka, now tells her life
struggle in her autobiography, Bald is Beautiful -- My Journey to Becoming (ISBN
1-933449-10-1, $16.95) where she describes the process of developing her mission
in life and how she turned her hair loss into an asset.
Jodi lost her hair twenty years ago to a rare form of alopecia. Having to wear
itchy wigs and headwear items, Jodi initially produced the medical version of
Headline It! which is a necessity, designed to help people with various
illnesses and the surgeons, nurses and anyone affiliated with medical fields and
research.
However, after doing a lot of research and talking to people in
various industries, fire departments, police departments, the military, golfers,
motorcyclists, construction workers, athletes, and just about anyone that wants
to stop sweat and maintain the efficacy of personal hygiene, while extending the
life of their headwear and caps, Jodi has introduced an active version that is
disposable and takes the worry out of perspiration.
"When I first met Jodi, I knew she was unique, as were her books. She has such a
huge well of energy and determination to bring her message to the world, I was
delighted to be able to provide her the first step on her road by publishing her
children's books," Publisher, Valerie Connelly said. "I have no doubt that her
autobiography will inspire others like herself to discover the power of their
lives in spite of hair loss.
The very fact that she developed an invention that
will change lives by making wearing wigs, hats and helmets much more comfortable
and hygienic for millions of people, reflects how she took a bad situation and
made it fantastic. Everything she does is meant to improve the lot of others
through her books and through the Headline It!"
Jodi Pliszka, M. S. is the inventor of Headline It! recently featured as a Top
12 Finalist on ABC'S American Inventor TV Show, winner of $50,000 to advance her
Headline It! product and first to take her product to market.
Jodi has also been
featured on Lifetime TV for Women, CNN, and various TV shows, newspapers,
magazines and internet, with her Headline It! product.
Headline It! is an ultra thin, disposable liner made from high tech wick wear
that was designed to stop sweat from rolling into one's eyes, enhancing physical
performance.
It also creates a comfortable barrier between one's head and an
itchy hat, wig, or headwear item, catching oils and perspiration that would
otherwise saturate the items, extending the life of the wig, hat or headwear
item. The Headline It! product, just like her children's books and
autobiography, evolved from Jodi's personal struggle with losing her hair as a
young woman.
