125. The Insider Edit: Richard Kavanagh's Hair Kit. The Tools and Products a Session Stylist Can't Work Without
Blog post Richard Kavanagh is back for Part 2, and this one is all kit. Richard is a session stylist. He started hairdressing in Auckland in 1986, worked around 300 shows as part of Guido Palau's team and still directs hair backstage. He layers product like nobody else I know, and he reads the back of the can, not the front. In this Insider Edit, Richard takes me through the hot tools, brushes and pins he can't work without, the five products he reaches for most, and the science behind how he picks them. If you missed Part 1, go back for his career story. What we covered: How Richard picks product "Think like a colourist." Why the hair in front of you decides the product, not the labelHis one question for every head of hair: harder or softer?Reading ingredients: what acrylates do, and what silicones and glycerols doThe volume mousse he never uses for volumeThe seven products behind hair that looks like nothing
