Editorial Review
Booklist - Hot Hair
With eye-popping images and snappy text, Hot Hair dives into the fascinating, sometimes wild world of hairstyle trends. Loh-Hagan blends cultural history, fashion commentary, and fun facts in a fast-paced, visually engaging format. From Marie Antoinette’s towering poufs to Japanese samurai topknots to 1980s Gumby cuts, the book explores a global range of hair expressions across time. Highlights include features on the political roots of natural hairstyles, such as the California CROWN Act, and modern revivals of older styles. Crisp sidebars, bold vocabulary, and inclusive imagery make this title both accessible and empowering, especially for students interested in self-expression. Part of the Style It: Trends and Fads series (6 titles), this installment uses fashion to start broader conversations on beauty, race, and social change while inspiring current generations to explore their own personal style.
