The Breakup Hair Handbook

This book is beautiful!
“As women, when we want to change our hair, we’re told to stop and think through every consequence.
Whether or not it suits our face shape, whom it might displease, and what if that extra three minutes it takes to straighten bangs (fringe) utterly destroys our daily routine and eventually ruins our lives ect”

The Author takes a look at hairstyles and the urges people have after a break up, to change.
But added to that, are moments of Feminism, Insight, Care and Laughter.

Every ‘chapter’ is a gem, i could relate to it over and over. Having been through many of the cuts myself, my heart did a leap of joy for ‘growing out a pixie’ the ‘meh’ times especially.
Peppered with break up wisdom on how long it really takes for a heart to heal, cocktail recipes that include therapy, and the perfect break up songs.
Hairstylist are the heroes!

Acknowledging that no haircut, new wardrobe or self help book, can really heal a broken heart. But they can help pass the time you need.
The pop art style illustration is stunning, and i want this in my shelf.
And this book certainly gives life a boost along the way.

"Too often we are led to make style choices, especially hair choices, out of fear. Fear that we won't look attractive enough, professional enough, young or old enough, feminine enough. Feat that it will look like we 're putting in too much effort or not enough." Starts The Breakup Hair Handbook after telling you to GO FOR IT if you want to change up your look after a breakup.  The book pushes the fact that YOU belong to YOU. So do what you want and try not to worry about what anyone else thinks.  Once that is out of the way, it's all about choosing what cut you want and what color you want!  In addition to great illustrations of hair styles there's also all sorts of tips and tricks throughout the book - quizzes for if you should get back together with your ex, mixtapes, and ways to heal from your grief.  I've never had a breakup (you kind of need to find someone willing to date you first, and that's where I seem to be stuck) but a lot of it is relevant to just regular day to day life too. You can get to know yourself better even without a breakup as a catalyst.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Almost everyone of us has gone through at least one breakup that made us want a clean cut with our past... and to our hair.

The Breakup Hair Handbook by Jenna Luecke encourages you to get that haircut you didn't have the courage to get before, gives you advice on which colour to change into, guides you and comforts you through your stages of grief in a fun way and with delightful drawings from the author herself.

Ringrazio NetGalley per avermi fornito una copia digitale in cambio di una recensione onesta.

Tutti noi o quasi abbiamo dovuto affrontare almeno una volta la fine di una relazione che ci ha fatto venire voglia di dare un taglio netto al passato... e ai nostri capelli.

Breakup Hair Handbook di Jenna Luecke ti incoraggia a procedere con quel taglio che prima non avevamo il coraggio di farti, ti consiglia quale colore scegliere, ti guida e ti conforta durante i vari stadi del tuo dolore da cuore spezzato in modo divertente e con disegni deliziosi dalla mano dell'autrice stessa.

Breaking up fucking sucks! It can make you want to do crazy things like cut your hair off. And this awesome, hilarious book is here to say: just go for it! Fuck what everyone else thinks: girl, change your hair! You do you! This awesome lite feminist break-up manifesto / beauty manual is full of cute new hairdo options, with helpful breakup-stuff peppered in, like playlists to yell and sob to, thoughts on why break-ups should stay broken, drink recipes, and an awesome break-up card I wish I could send out to people in my life right now. This book is for anyone who’s contemplated cutting their own bangs in the wee hours, while trying to remember how to do their makeup without some dude’s unsolicited opinion on it. A cool design and awesome illustrations make it even more fun to flip through, and it will definitely make you smile and maybe streak your mascara.

I m always bugging my teenager about her hair tendencies when she struggles with crisis’s. She cuts. She dyes. She experiments. And this book was basically written For her. Ironic and hilarious and blunt I loved it.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this book. I was really interested initially in this topic -- I don't think I ever would've come up with finding this book on my own (thanks NetGalley and authors!) so I knew I needed to see what this had in store.

I think we've all been there.... the sentiment of "breakup hair" is expounded upon in this book in an intelligent and meaningful way, while also retaining that entertaining and tongue in cheek element.

Thank you again. Very interesting and unique.
