I'm not sorry I purchased it, and it was well worth the money. Kudo's Nick on a job well done!!

"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.

The information in Great Hair is presented in an easy-to-understand and accessible fashion. It's rare and so refreshing to find a beauty book that isn't written simply to promote a product line...there were no references in the book to specific brands at all, only product types. I love the instructions and his philosophy. This book will help you to get to know your hair and then to choose techniques, products and styles to work with it, not against it. As another reviewer stated, you could spend your money on this book and the wraparound blow-dry instructions alone would make it worth it. The hair style photos were wonderful as well. I hope to see more books by Nick.

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.

I'm a fan of Nick's from "What Not to Wear," & was excited to see he had a book out. And it is excellent! Very comprehensive, answers any & all questions you may ever have had about your hair. It's more of a reference book, not something you'd sit down & read chapter after chapter. Still, it's already helped me immensely. There are so many tips in this book that I believe I'll be referencing it for years to come. Thank you Nick for taking the time & trouble to write such a detailed tome on haircare! A copy of this book should be in every household!
