5.0 out of 5 stars Great for girls 6-10 yrs. old, May 18, 1998

By A Customer

Another great book from the people at Klutz. This clear instruction manual shows you how to do many simple styles, from the basic ponytail to a french braid, plus how to make some barettes and bows. Added bonus: every thing you need to do the projects in the book comes with it except for hair! (: (Note: I recomend the book "Hair: A Book of Braiding and Styles" for the older crowd, ages 10+

5.0 out of 5 stars Mom of 4 girls..., May 30, 2003

By	L. Zubek "Home Chef" (Tulsa, OK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this guide for myself. It's written for the older child and parents alike. I purchased it because I always envied and admired the "popular" girls in school with the amazing stlyes and marveled at how they got them. Now, I know and I can create those fabulous looks for my own daughters. The instructions are easy to understand and the skills required for bow-making are simple. I made the balloon clip and it was a BIG HIT at school...both kids and teachers commented on the cool clip in my daughter's hair. Most importantly, it was fun for both of us. A definite must-have for Mom's of girls with ANY length of hair!

5.0 out of 5 stars French-braids (and more) For Dummies!!!, February 4, 2002

By A Customer

I've tried several times over the years to learn to french braid. I learned to braid my granddaughter's hair in 10 minutes with this book. Lots of clever hairstyles to try besides french-braiding. Great book with easy-to-follow illustrations. Durable high-gloss pages. Well worth the price.
