Product Description
Originally published in 1948 and considered to be one of the rarest styling books of the era, this book covers general principles of hairdressing as well as the components necessary to create fantastic 1940s styles. Creating pin curls, direction of lines, proper finger positions, and other techniques are demonstrated.
The author breaks the hairstyle portion of the book down into 12 basic pin curl settings with detailed illustrations. These pin curl settings are numbered, with each hairstyle referencing the number of the pin curl setting to use when creating each style. 12 hairstyles are demonstrated with an easy-to-use chart. Another 9 hairstyles with instructions are located in the Swirl, Sweep and Roll chapters and an additional 11 hairstyles can be found in the Hair Style Designs chapter of the book. Beautiful updos still fashionable today can be learned from this book.
A large section of the book is devoted to water waving with 34 illustrations and 20 pages walking you through the process of setting the hair, joining the waves, placing the curls, and creating different hairstyles based on the parting of the hair including a center parting, full pompadour, semi-pompadour, and double dip pompadour. Instructions are also provided for creating waves using setting combs.
The book also contains chapters on: Shaping and Tapering for Successful Styling, Art of Curling, Hairline and Practical Setting, Definition of Beauty, Styling to Type, Adapting Postiche to Modern Hairdressing, Variations of the Bang Design, Hair Style Designs, and Modern Hair Fashions Influenced by Historical Hairdressing. Sample hairstyles and illustration images are shown at the top of this page. ==== FOR MORE FANTASTIC 1940s HAIRSTYLING BOOKS please see Creative Hairshaping and Hairstyling You Can Do, Hair Style Design -- 1940s Hairshaping, Finger Waving and Styling Techniques, and How to Create 1940s Hairstyles -- Instructions and Illustrations for 17 Swing Era Styles.
