A witty, fast-paced look at our obsession with hair, HAIRSTYLE CONFIDENTIAL untangles the myths and mystique surrounding hair in popular culture. British fashion expert Caroline Cox provides the context behind the coiffeur.
The documentary features interviews with the original stylist guru Vidal Sassoon and spends a day with Hollywood's hottest hairdresser, Ken Pavés (Jessica Simpson's stylist and best friend).
Viewers enter the secret world behind the latest hair fad: hair extensions, from their beginnings as the shorn hair of devout Hindus in India to the dyeing and styling process in Italy.
Why do we spill all our secrets to our “hairapist”? What is the next miracle cure for baldness? And do blondes really have more fun? All these questions and more are explored in HAIRSTYLE CONFIDENTIAL.
