From long, romantic tresses to short and sassy, it features beautiful hairstyles for every cut.

Good, not great. Mostly teen/faddish styles, Oct 25 2010

This review is from: Spectacular Hair: A Step-by-Step Guide to 46 Gorgeous Styles (Paperback)
3 1/2 STARS."THE BAD": Based on the front cover, I assumed I'd found a book that featured step-by-step directions on sophisticated evening hairstyles. Sadly, this book is NOT it. The vast majority of styles in this book are obviously oriented to the 14-23 year-old crowd and very few are appropriate for evening (especially black-tie or white-tie functions). Even the styles that appear to be oriented for such use have a rather extreme and faddish twist to them. There are predominantly the following types of styles:
1) krimped, crazy hair,
2) hair sticking out everywhere and with a somewhat disheveled appearance,
3) hair fashioned to look like hats,
4) "little-girl" braids,
...even a girl with a mohawk that is black and blue! I think you get the picture. To be honest, I cannot even fathom where some of these styles would be appropriate, especially considering the time and effort they take to assemble.
Also, the vast majority of these styles are ones that one simply cannot do herself. The ones that DO appear to be for the more demure-minded almost exclusively require quite long hair (down the back), so those of us with hair slightly below shoulder length would not have much success even with those.
Now, "THE GOOD". This book:
1) does contain beautifully presented and clearly illustrated pictures,
2) includes instructions are clear and concise,
3) features many styles that do not require any fancy equipment or add-ons to execute,and
4) contains many techniques that a moderately creative-minded person could easily adapt into more appropriate styling.
For these reasons, I added an extra star.
I think this could be a wonderful asset for a new stylist, and for those of us who would like to learn new techniques to manipulate our hair, I think there are benefits of owning this book. However, overall, if one is looking for a book to learn the art of creating formal styles (an inference to which the cover would clearly lead you), this is not your book. If you are looking for funky, "out-there" styles, this book will certainly facilitate that.

These looks aren't very usable, Nov 7 2010

This review is from: Spectacular Hair: A Step-by-Step Guide to 46 Gorgeous Styles (Paperback)
The hairstyles on the cover of this books are probably the only wearable styles! I was a bit disappointed when I opened the book to find that many of the hairstyles required hair extensions. More than half of the 46 hair styles either require hair extensions or extremely long natural hair. My hair is medium length and there were only a handful of hairstyles that I could actually practice without using my extensions and I know a lot of people don't have the expensive added length. So this is a warning to those who have shorter hair!Apart from the fact that most of the hairstyles require longer hair, these hairstyles are not street wear. A lot of the hairstyles are high fashion and would look absolutely idiotic anywhere else but a runway. If you are studying hair styles and techniques then this book shows many unique styles step by step. But, if you are wanting to learn some new tricks for your personal hair style, I wouldn't recommend this book.
