She caught our eye in recent years for her wicked ways with textured hair. Now stylist Claire Martin has released her first-ever book, cLHAIR Mantra.
We noted her on the HairClubLive stage at an #OpenChairNIght a couple of years back. Then we were stoked to see Claire on The Big Blow Out for Channel 4 last Autumn. It’s a buzz to see the girl now is a published author and still championing textured hair. Her new book offers insight into Claire’s journey with textured hair and how she has learnt to style and maintain incredible curly hair! This can help clients with textured hair and help you broaden your stylist knowledge.
Background
As a young child, Claire rocked her mum’s big-section cornrows, but at 13, she wanted to discover her own personal look; who doesn’t? She practiced endlessly, mastering unique designs and patterns on her hair. These styles soon became the envy of all her friends. Claire’s services were in such high demand that she was able to create a savvy stream of income whilst still at school. Pretty impressive if you ask us.
Since understanding how to work with textured hair at a young age, Claire has honed her craft through many years of training. Claire wants her book to help your clients by sharing her ethos on maintaining curl. We all know that curly hair requires a little extra love. 
Expert advice
Claire has tested different products and techniques to discover the ultimate combinations and effective routines. With help from her book, and you, obviously, your clients can receive expert advice on how to encourage hair growth, strengthen lengths and avoid moisture loss. cLHAIR Mantra provides a compressed wash day routine that covers all bases for healthy, balanced hair. This fantastic book isn’t just for your clients. Any hair professionals wanting to broaden their knowledge across all hair-types should read it. After all, education never stops, and it’s always good to hear someone else’s ideas.
Claire Martin
“I have always believed that anyone can achieve a stylish look, no matter their hair type, but it must start with a healthy head of hair. Therefore, I gathered my knowledge in all aspects of hair texture and put it down on paper to create cLHAIR Mantra. I hope to help other hairdressers educate their clients on healthy hair care and provide in salon services for all.” Claire Martin.
