388 Great Hairstyles

Note to Potentially Dissatisfied Customers:

This book is NOT a book that tells you how to braid your hair or put it up. It is a book that gives you ideas on ways to cut your hair or restyle it at the length that it already is. If you are looking to find ways of putting your hair up, I recommend "Hair" by Anne Akers Johnson instead of this book.

I can understand that people would be upset that this book does not have instructions for the styles. The editorial review does lead people to believe that this book explains things. It really doesn't explain anything. Then again most magazines don't explain styles either. This book is meant for choosing a style. If you are using this book for that purpose then its a great book. This would be a great book for salons to have in their lobby.

The book description for this book makes it sound like it has instructions for styles for all types of hair. And it does, except I thought "styles" meant things like buns, braids and updos. The "styles" in this book are things like, "Blow-dry the hair, than use styling gel to hold it in place." Not very informative! This book has a nice layout, for short-medium-long hair, with a curly hair section at the end of each length of hair section. Overall, if you are into blow-drying your hair instead of braiding it or something of that sort, than it is a pretty good book.
