About This Book

A practical manual presents step-by-step instruction in hair dressing and the manufacture of hair jewelry, teaching how to make curls, switches, braids, waterfalls, and other hair ornaments. It combines clear diagrams and plates with detailed directions on preparing hair, arranging strands, using molds, bobbins and wires, braiding patterns and finishing techniques such as boiling, drying and securing ends. Advice aimed at beginners and tradespeople emphasizes practice, variant sizes and methods, and suggests uses ranging from personal keepsakes to small-scale commercial production.
