Product Description

Review
"An inestimable record of hairstyles..." -- Amateur Stage, March 2002.

Product Description
Essential to re-creating an authentic 1940s look, this resource guide to period styles covers everything from short hairdos popular in the early 1940s to the late 1940s 'cut to fit' look made popular by Christian Dior. Hundreds of vintage illustrations, photographs, and diagrams accompany detailed instructions and techniques for replicating the styles of the decade. Fun facts and trivia related to the hairstyles of the time are included, as is a look at 'War Time' hair and regulations brought about by the government. Comprehensive lists of the beauty tools needed to create these hairdos, where to purchase the various hard-to-find items discussed, and hairstyles based on hair length and type are all included for those interested in revisiting the period beauty of the 1940s.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 10 April 2001
This is an excellent book for anyone wanting to recreate the 1940s hair look. As well as providing black and white photographs for the end result pictures, there are diagrams to help you on your way, also the traditional and modern ways of doing the styles. I personally have been looking for a book like this for years. Excellent value for money and no wasted time at the hairdresser when they don't get it quite right.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent to use, 13 Sep 2002
By A Customer
Want to recreate genuine forties hairstyles of all lengths (from Ingrid Bergman to Veronica Lake) using period or modern techniques? at home?? then you've found your source. Includes a nice chapter on using accessories, up-do's, and a problem solving section. Easier than rooting round original books on home management!
