Title: Big Letdown
Product review: This small paperback book is taken from material used in the late 19th century.I had hoped for detailed instructions about how hairstyles (specifically for long hair) were created.The illustrations are artistic views of each hairstyle -- but only one view is presented - usually a profile or 3/4 view. There are no detailed illustrations and the written commentary is sparse. Also, there are references to hair items that are not known in this era - and no glossary to explain exactly what the word means - so you are left in the dark.This paperback - in my estimation - is purely a "curiosity piece" and falls way short of being any kind of help in re-creating the beautiful coiffures of the 19th century.One last thing - many of the styles call for switches or fake hair pieces.
