Usborne Book of Hair Braiding (How to Make Series)

Summary: Definitely for BEGINNERS.....
Review: I bought this book in order to find "new" and "unique" braids for my daughters hair. I was disappointed when it arrived. It really only contains instructions for common braids that I assume most are familiar with. I suppose my expectations were too high. This would be a good choice for someone who has never braided. The instructions are easy to understand, the photos are clear and detailed. If you are already familiar with a simple 3 strand braid and a french braid, don't bother purchasing this book. The other braids are just simple variations of the above mentioned.

Summary: Bad Book
Review: This book said it would teach me everything I needed to knowabout hair braiding. Boy, was I wrong? Thanks to this ... book my sister (the one whose hair I braided following the instructions in this book) now has horrible knots in her hair that won't come out. Tomorrow mom is taking her to the salon so they can cut them all out. My sis's hair is going to have to be cut like all short. Thanks ... person for making me feel bad about ruining my sis's hair because you wrote [this]... book!!!

Summary: A Great Little Book
Review: This is a great little book either for kids, or for kids and their moms, who want to try some new things with their hair. The book is loaded with photos and simple, clear instructional diagrams (all in color), which makes it GREAT for beginners. Most of the styles are fairly simple, but there are a couple that are more challenging, one which even reccomends an extra person to help hold some of the hair! The styles included are: Simple Braids, "Hippie" Braids (which incorporate embroidery floss), The Top Knot, Knotted Bunches, simple braids incorporating cords and ribbons, Princess Styles, Crossover Braids, Six Braids, Flipovers, Braids for shorter hair, Mini Braids, French Braids (both standard and "inside-out"), Crown braiding, The Five-strand Braid (very cool, I thought), The Rope Braid, and last, The Fishtail Braids (The single being exceptionally attractive). This book is perfect for people who are just getting started with styling hair.
