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.

 Question on this item? January 26, 2010
Monica Elias
I just looked at the pages Amazon has on here, says list price is 15.95 (on the last page in the book.) why then, can i not find this book for under 100 dollars?
 Awesome Little Book, Worth the 35$ I Paid January 23, 2010

This little book has all you need to know for basic styles and cuts originating in the 1940s. It made it simple for me to get my Rita Hayworth cut from just about any stylist. I did not want to pay the outrageous prices listed here, so I waited and watched and found it for about 35$. It is worth that price, but I would not pay 145$ for it.
A must have... February 17, 2006

Thank you Daniela Turudich. I own three of her vintage living books fortunely, and everyone is overwhelmingly helpful. This book especially since I wear my hair like this frequently to go with my vintage apparal and lifestyle. Her attention to the little details are great. And every style does take practice and patience, so don't get too discouraged if your first few attempts don't work out too well. And definitely use her idea for the hair rat/ donuts to create the rolls. It works out wonderfully. Just cut them into to sections first.
Not a Rita Hayworth look-alike guide September 18, 2005

This book is the only one of its kind and contains tons of information on recreating 1940s hairstyles. However, the focus is on your basic hairstyles sort of like what you see in the movie "A League of Their Own." There is also a lot of time spent on what I would call very unattractive, Grandma-Q-tip styles.
I hunted this book down and blew a wad of cash all in search of instructions for the perfect Rita Hayworth, Ava Gardner, Lana Turner hairstyle and I was very disappointed. The hairstyles of the three ladies mentioned above, which are the result of tedious pin-curl sets or pin-curl permanents, are barely touched upon in this book. You are told how to make a pin curl, a picture of Rita (which is not even the look that she is famous for) and a picture of Ava are shown and you are told it is a pin-curl set and that's about it. I found better information just by searching on pin-curls in Google for free, than I found after wasting my money on this tiny book. It is probably worth buying at the original price, or if you are interested in creating hairstyles from the 1940s that are not the glamourous Hollywood pin-curl styles.
Interesting, but not enough information June 29, 2005

I read this book through about 3 times while having my hair done the other day. There are instructions on some of the hairstyles, but they are not nearly detailed enough for a layperson to follow. Fortunately, my hairdresser is pretty skilled in setting hair, so he will be able to replicate a couple of them for me. The pictures are beautiful, though; they give you lots of ideas. Overall, I kept looking through it and wanting to see more, more, more ideas!
