I have always been confused by the art of curling one's hair. And the fact that my hair will NOT keep a curl hasn't helped. I got this book the other day and soo many of my questions have been answered and things make so much more sense now! Not only are there pages and pages of instructions on different curling methods, there are a tonne of different styles with clear instructions for each. At the back there's even a small section on vintage make-up techniques! I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who loves vintage styles or just needs some help figuring curling techniques out.

Loved the book. Several of the styles will be rocked by my bridesmaides in my September '09 wedding!

Step by step guides are amazing. Photos are great. I did find one style kinda funny looking but the rest were great!

I am doing a 1940's play and this book has everything in it I need to do the hairstyles for that time period. All color pictures and very detailed instructions.
