Expanded and back in print, this popular resource to recreating authentic period hairstyles covers everything from short hairdos popular in the early 1940s to the cut-to-fit look made popular by Christian Dior in the late 1940s. 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 wartime 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.

...and then what?,

This review is from: Authentic 1940s Hairstyles : Tips and Tricks For Creating Authentic 1940s Hairstyles (Vintage Living) (Paperback)
I was so excited to finally find a book that is dedicated to 1940s hairstyles, but disapointed when I actually sat down to read it. Although the book is very cute with lots of illustrations and information for choosing an appropriate style for ones face shape, hair type, and so on, it doesn't go into enough detail on HOW to create the style or effect. This book is an entertaining and fun reference that helps stimulate ideas, but fails to assist in the realization of the 'do.

This review is from: Authentic 1940s Hairstyles : Tips and Tricks For Creating Authentic 1940s Hairstyles (Vintage Living) (Paperback)
this has a very helpful book, but i wish that the haircutting section had final pictures of the cuts. actually, i wish that the book had more "real" pictures than drawings. still, as a wigmaker, i tend to style a lot of 40s hairstyles, so i'm pretty happy with it
