How to Handle Long Hair -- Recreating Glamorous 1950s Hairstyles

ISBN: 1934268720

Author: Miss Ingerid

Condition: Used

Originally published in 1954, this rare book contains detailed instructions and illustrations for recreating the glamorous, movie-star long hairstyles of the 1950s. Short hair styles were all the rage in the 1950s, so hairstyle instruction books specifically for long hair are hard to find. Eleven styles are detailed in this book (using only one setting) including the Grecian 1, Grecian 2, Tiara, the Portrait, Modern Whistlers Mother, Pony Tail and Variations, Undulation, Miss Muffin, Christian Dior Chignon, Flight, and Everymans Dreamgirl. This book will teach you everything from setting the hair to the comb out to specific illustrations and text instructions for creating each style -- and all hairstyles show the style from many views (back, front, sides) to further assist in the authentic recreation. Whether you need a glamorous style for your wedding, prom or special event -- this book has it. Sample hairstyles and illustration images are shown at the top of this page.
