When it comes to hairstyling for A-listers like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez, Chris Appleton is basically a household name. But he’s about to show us there’s more to the celebrity stylist than meets the eye in his new memoir, “Your Roots Don’t Define You.” In his book, Appleton doesn’t just fluff up his celebrity connections; he dives deep into his personal battles with mental health, proving that even the glam squad has its dark corners. Who knew that behind all those gorgeous locks could be a story that’s equal parts inspirational and gut-wrenching?
Appleton candidly shares that the writing process was far from a walk in the park, likening it to a brutal yet essential journey of self-discovery. He emphasizes the importance of being real about one’s struggles in order to help others facing similar challenges. It seems he’s inviting us all to peel back our own layers a bit—because let’s be honest, pretending everything is perfect gets old fast, right? And with a launch date set for January 20, 2026, readers are in for a powerful read come winter.
This isn’t just a memoir for fans of celebrity gossip; it’s a beacon of hope for anyone who feels they’ve got it all together on the outside while fighting their own battles inside. Appleton’s openness challenges the stigma surrounding mental health, and he shows us that even the best can feel like a mess sometimes. So, what gets you through tough times? Let’s hear your stories!
