Your Roots Don't Define You
"Chris is so much more than a hair guru. I’m so excited for everyone to learn who he is as he shares his personal journey!” —DREW BARRYMORE

We all know that feeling: when you’re stuck in self-doubt, boxed in by the person you’ve been in the past, crippled by fear that you’ll never break free from the lies and insecurities holding you back. But what if you had the chance to reinvent yourself from the ground up?

World-renowned celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton gives us the hard-earned advice to do just this. After years of working with the most badass women on the planet, he’s seen firsthand how transformation is possible at any stage of life, even when society tells you that you’re “too old,” when it feels like the whole world is closing in on you, or when the person you thought you’d spend your life with is now your ex. You don’t have to feel limited by your roots. The comeback you want can be yours.

In this book, you'll learn:
  • How to stop letting your past define you
  • The secret connection between style and self-worth
  • How to silence your inner critic
  • The real reason confidence isn’t about luck or looks
  • How to detox from relationships that drain you
  • The formula to becoming unapologetically YOU
