Publisher's Note "Easy Braids, Barrettes and Bows" shows girls how to style their own or a friend's hair--whether it's long or mid-length, curly or straight. Step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and photos make it easy to create French braids, twisted ponytails, coiled buns, cornrows, and many other styles. Full color.
Industry Reviews Gr 3-8 Sadler presents a series of hairstyles that are neat and relatively easy to achieve (although many require the help of a second pair of hands), ranging from different types of ponytails and pulled-back styles to various methods of braiding. The directions are clear and well illustrated with step-by-step drawings, and include a full-color photograph of a girl modeling the do. The format is colorful and attractive. The author includes instructions on hair wrapping, and also shows how to make scrunchees, ponytail holders, barrettes, and head bands. She advises on the length and type of hair that works best in each style, helping to ensure success. This book, along with Anne Akers Johnson's Hair (Klutz Press, 1995), carry broad general appeal, and may even attract reluctant readers.
