5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic Book for the person researching hair for reproduction, October 6, 2008
This review is from: The History of Hair: Fashion and Fantasy Down the Ages (Hardcover)
There are other books out there that provide more complete information but they lack good resources with portraits, sculpture and quotes from the people of that time period - finding a book this good is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. This is the book that has many good historic references for you to see and read and it provided me with valuable historical evidence for a course I taught on Italian Renaissance hair taping. I also study french braiding and historical haircare from the same time frame and there are good resources for that as well. I do not know if this would be helpful for the costume designer but for the historian and recreators out there, I highly recommend it!
