Style Me Vintage: Hair: Easy Step-by-Step Techniques for Creating Classic Hairstyles
[Hardcover]
New from $10.80
Used from $10.24
I love Vintage hairstyles. I always have. I think when they are done right, they can be very beautiful and unique.
With all the interest in Marilyn Monroe, this book helps you re-create hairstyles from her era. It also is filled with step-by-step instructions, tips, techniques and detailed photos of styles from the 1930s to the 1960s.
Your hair can look like a glamorous version of Veronica Lake, Rita Hayworth or Brigitte Bardot.
This book is timely, especially with the popularity of TV's Mad Men and all the classic iconic hairstyles showcased on that program. Finger waves and bouffants are included.
The breakdown of the various hairstyles provided with step by step details from the various periods include:
*20s*
Finger Waves & Pin Curls
*40s*
Forties Waves (The Peek-a-boo)
Victory Rolls
The Poodle
*50s*
Fringe Roll (The VV)
Fifties Set (The Marilyn)
Quiffs (The Pompadour)
*60s*
Beehive (The Joan)
Beehive (The Brigitte)
Bouffant (The Jackie O)
Barbarella
I really enjoyed this book but I would say that some beginners who are not highly skilled or experienced doing their own hair might find the book difficult to follow.
However, it is a great resource to use the images to take to your own hairstylist to ask them to recreate the hairstyle on your own hair.
The author of this book is a hairstylist and has also written Vintage Hairstyling: Retro Styles with Step-by-Step Techniques.
In some respects this is a great book for new hairstylists who want to learn additional hairstyles or love the retro styles.
Many of the stars in Hollywood favor retro hairstyles like Christina Aguilera.
I recommend both books. However if you are not sure, be sure to buy the cheapest used book possible in case you don't like the book. Or check it out of the library to see if you can follow the instructions.
The reviews on this book are mixed but I think because it's a very personal type of hairstyling book rather than highly detailed.
Have you looked at this book? What do you think? Do you love vintage hairstyling?
