Love Your Hair by top international stylist Richard Kavanagh is a user-friendly guide to creating high-fashion hair styles at home with step-by-step instructions to create bohemian waves; a modern beehive, a textured chignon, rockabilly pompadour, faux bob with pincurls, victory roll, fishtail side braid, sexy beach hair, clip-in extensions, and more.

I like that it assumes no prior hairdressing knowledge (as I have none) and that it shows the model doing her own hair, not a stylist doing it over her. I just want to know where I can find some sectioning clips.

There are twenty four hairstyles with the current catwalk favourites all represented. Style 1-13 are easier and hairstyles 14-24 more advanced.

I give this book 10/10 because it’s easy to follow yet is written by a bona fide industry leader. It ticks all the boxes.

The book begins with general tips, tricks and techniques, then goes on to specific hairstyle how-tos. The photography by Steven Chee is just stunning.

Richard knows the transformative power of great hair. “If more women feel great about the way they look and walk through their day confident and full of joy, in part because they know they look good, then the world will be a better place”– Richard Kavanagh.
