Just got it....not to sure,
By A Customer
This review is from: Great Braids!: The New Way to Exciting Hairstyles (Paperback)
I just got the book last night Great Braids!!! So far just by flipping though it and reading a little bit of it I am not sure about it. I bought the book because my daughter has long hair that is hard to keep fixed for a full day of school. The pictures and diagrams are kind of confusing. I already know how to to the regular french braid but I wanted a little varation. This book does have that. I am just not sure she will be still long enough for me to do these styles for her. One thing I really like about this book though is that the front of the book teaches you to make a few hairbows. Overall the book seems to be what I was looking for.

Braids and more,

This review is from: Great Braids!: The New Way to Exciting Hairstyles (Paperback)
I bought two braiding books at the same time (the other was Beautiful Braids, by Coen and Maxwell) and this is by far the better of the two. There are upside down and inside out braids, as well as herringbones, twists, and some updos. The book seems to be written to beauty professionals though, since several of the styles are explained in terms of how to do it on someone else's hair, not your own. I'm having a hard time convincing my husband that braiding my hair is a good use of his time. I'm still glad I bought this book, since there are several ideas I hadn't thought of.

Exciting but not new,
By Madeline Baker (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Great Braids!: The New Way to Exciting Hairstyles (Paperback)
Hardy's Great Braids! contains interesting and easy-to-do styles for medium-to-long hair. What's disappointing, however, is that the styles - and in some cases, the illustrations! - almost completely duplicate Anne Akers Johnson's Hair: A Book of Braiding and Styles (published two years earlier than Hardy's volume). Buy one or the other, but not both.
