I really love the flat-laying style and well-photographed layout of this book. You can have it open next to you and read it while you work. Every step in each style opens with historical background and documentation about the style and immediately goes in to a hands-on tutorial of how to achieve it. Most styles have both men's and women's variations and show you how the same concepts in the style that was taught can be modified to suit additional characters.I am NOT a hair expert, more of a costuming enthusiast and performer who needs to come up with my own looks for performances to save money. I really appreciate that the instructions are written for different price ranges of wigs that you can buy online and have common issues or pitfalls clearly pointed out. I think that you would mostly need to work with a stylist to do a basic cut on your wig before starting, but, once that was done, you could probably do the styling yourself. Enjoyable read, well thought out, educational, and an overall great resource. Definitely recommended for film and theater teams, historians, or other people looking to take their costumes to the next level with the right hair styles.
