1.0 out of 5 stars Better books available, October 1, 2000
This review is from: Beautiful Braids: The Step-by-Step Guide to Braiding Styles for Every Occasion and All Ages (Paperback)
This book wasn't what I expected. It is small (4x6 maybe) and doesn't contain anything I didn't already know. A better book is "Great Braids" by Thomas Hardy, also available on Amazon.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginners, but that's all, July 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Beautiful Braids: The Step-by-Step Guide to Braiding Styles for Every Occasion and All Ages (Paperback)
If you already know how to do basic braiding, don't bother with this book. It's great for complete beginners, but doesn't deal with anything more advanced than a french braid. "More Beautiful Braids" is a bit better, but is still extremely lacking.

1.0 out of 5 stars too basic for me, March 12, 2003
By 
"jcrittur2" (cape girardeau missouri) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beautiful Braids: The Step-by-Step Guide to Braiding Styles for Every Occasion and All Ages (Paperback)
Very very basic beginner's "I've never braided my own ponytail before" kind of book. Not at all as described ("100 black-&-white photographs", "these elegant braids will be turning heads...") Puhleeze!
