Book excerpt: Having curly hair can be a real drag. Most curly-haired children are told their hair is messy and that they should straighten it, which stays with them as adults. But hairdresser Michael Price is about to change the rules. In Unruly Curls, he teaches anyone with curly hair how to love their locks, and how to get the most out of them. If you have curly hair and have spent your life trying to tame it, this is the book for you. From tight ringlets to larger, wavy hair, Michael shows you how to care for your curls, whatever they look like and whatever your age. The book features how to get the best haircut for your curls, and how to create salon-styled hair at home. As well as daily maintenance, there will be some hair tutorials to show you how you can mix up your look. This book aims to be a handbook for those with curly hair to refer to on a daily, weekly, and seasonal basis, with a cool aesthetic that has never been done before. With a pro-curl attitude and a focus on the positives of curly hair, Unruly Curls is a celebration of this hair type and will inspire anyone with curly hair.
