Product Description

Product Description

Going to a hairstylist before every special occasion can be both expensive and time-consuming. Its much more convenient, and very easy, to create the perfect hairstyle right at home! Here are 100 classic, salon-quality styles that any non-professional can handle, all shown with full-colour photographs that detail every step, as well as information on essential supplies and basic techniques. There are dos for any length, mood, and occasion, from a night out at the hottest club to the fanciest wedding. Select from elegant chignons, waterfalls of curls that cascade down your back, or loose, playful tendrils that frame the face. Some have jewel or flower adornments, while others feature braids, twists, and hair weaves. Every look is beautiful and unique.

A Bit Sketchy 1 July 2008
Format:Paperback
There's no doubt that the styles in the books are fabulous, really beautiful and elegant. It's a good source of ideas. But, in terms of D.I.Y hair styling, the step by step guides are quite vauge. Some styles start with instructions such as 'blow dry into curls', which is actually very difficult to do with most hair types, and no instruction is given in the introduction on how to achieve this. A basic explanation of commonly used techniques wouldn't have gone amiss. For example, saying 'disguise hairband with hair from ponytail' doesn't tell me how to do that, and the pictures don't help.
I was also hoping for a range of styles which dealt with different hair lengths (most off the models in the book have exceptionally long hair), which makes eighty percent of the styles irrelevant to girls with medium or short hair.

Amazing!! 24 Jan 2008
Format:Paperback
This book is well worth the money... I've been buying loads of hair books online and this one has been by far the best and cheapest, I cant believe it's less than £7. The step by step instructions makes doing fancy hairstyles easy!

Fantastic! 5 Jun 2008
Format:Paperback
I recieved this book this morning, and even though I had been waiting a while for it, it was definately worth the wait. For less than £7 theres 62 hair designs, each with photo step-by-steps.

With some hair books, I find that they have very few styles that brides/bridesmaids/prom girls will go for because the majority are catwalk styles. This book is very different. Most of the styles can be worn and the rest can be adapted slightly.

Definately well worth the money.
