About This Book

The text offers practical, trade-oriented instruction for apprentices and hairworkers, covering hair science and sourcing, tools and methods for cleaning, drying, carding, crimping and preparing human and other hairs, plus dyeing, bleaching and curling techniques. It then explains weaving and sewing methods for wefts, fronts, bandeaux, chignons, fringes and scalps, and describes knotting and mounting practices for both ladies' and gentlemen's wigs, with guidance on measurement and attachment. Appendices supply advice on razor maintenance, miscellaneous recipes, and illustrative designs to guide learners.

ILLUSTRATIONS.

The four pages of illustrations are supplied for the purpose of giving the learner some designs to work from, and, as fashions repeatedly change, the ability to make up sundry pieces of work is necessary and unquestionably useful.

A brief description of the illustrations will be found at the foot of each page.
