Customer Reviews
I actually learned something useful and new!
At 48, it's hard to show me something new. I grew up in the big hairdo Deep South, with fine, thin, limp, yet frizzy, neither quite straight nor wavy, hair.I lived through Farrah Fawcett feathers and bad eighties perms. I am a long time beauty magazine junkie. I have had my hair cut and styled in fancy salons in Buckhead in Atlanta, Kings Road in London, Oak Street in Chicago and Newberry Street in Boston, among many others, and Nick actually told me things no one else has! Buy this book for the instructions on how to do a wrap blow dry -- which I'd never even heard of-- if nothing else. I styled my hair salon perfectly in two minutes today! It's drizzling and humid, and no frizz yet, either. He tells you how to avoid the ghastly amateur stylist bubble head / bubble bangs look. The cuts are practical, modern and likely to flatter anyone, and the advice accessible. He explains styling products and doesn't push his line at all. A few quibbles: I didn't understand the French twist instructions, and there are the usual full page photos just to pad out the text, but this is a surprisingly useful book! It has tons of useful tips I have never read anywhere else--the inside scoop.
Excellent Book
You can read this book in a day. It is excellent and it is an excellent resource to keep around. The several times in my life that I've had mid-length hair, it was always a problem style. Now my thoughts are confirmed. Nick explains the most important thing that should determine your hair cut is your hair's texture and shape. The book covers everything about hair: how to determine what type hair you have, what products to use for each hair type and how to use the product, tools and brushes, how to blow out your hair for various looks, how to shop for a good hairdresser, color, ethic hair, problem hair, and so much more. I think of this book as a good investment. Perhaps this book will raise the bar for hairdressers - with the information in this book, we can be more selective in who cuts our hair, thus expecting more from hairdressers. If you have to spend the money, why not expect a hairdresser to also be an adviser, suggesting hair cuts based on the best cuts for your hair type.
Worth buying
"Great Hair" is a good book and overall, I am happy with my purchase. His style of writing is very easy to read and enjoyable and he also includes some really great hair tips such as "how to wash hair," "the perfect blowout" and "how to identify your hair-type to choose your perfect style." The book is also a great in helping you to be able to get the most out of your trip to the stylist. I would recommend it to a friend. The reason why I only gave it 4 stars is because the up-dos were only so-so and I didn't get much out of the pictures that were included.
