## Caption

Before you dive into my new book, The Look, I want to lift up those who don’t get enough of the credit they deserve. 

To all of the people behind the scenes of fashion and beauty who use their expert hands and creative gifts to make us feel our best. You sit behind machines, hemming and beading; you stand on your feet for hours, braiding, locking, twisting, cutting, and coloring; you focus intently as you meticulously pluck and wax, as you contour and highlight. Your work is a gift that does not go unnoticed, one that takes many forms. A compliment we receive. A jolt of electricity we feel from a mirror looking back at us. A sturdier belief in ourselves and the things we might do. Thank you for your dedication, your artistry, and your patience. Thank you for you.

If there’s a person or group of people in your life who’ve helped you find your own confidence, tag them in the comments and let them know how much they mean to you. #TheLook
