Style Me Vintage:Hair:Easy Step by Step Technique for Creating Classic Hairstyles


This retro book is one that needs to be in every vintage vixen's repertoire! Even if you never use any of the hair recipes, it makes a great coffee table book.The pictures are gorgeous! They not only give step by step instructions and pictures of stunning results but they feature the original starlets with the classic do's along with today's celebrities sporting them as well.
For instance, for examples of Finger Waves, they show side by side comparisons of Marlene Dietrich and Christina Aguilera. For the Bouffant, they show Jackie Kennedy and Joan from AMC's Mad Men.Enjoy these vintage do's and add this to your collection! Check it out on http://www.amazon.com/.

* The author Belinda Hay is also the founder of The Painted Lady; a hair salon specializing in vintage (and contemporary) do's and cuts.Check her at http://www.thepaintedladylondon.com/

" For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness;
and poise,walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."
- Audrey Hepburn

" Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman."
-Coco Chanel

" I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little- if only out of politeness.And then, you never know,maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny.And it's always best to be as pretty as possible for destiny."
-Coco Chanel

"I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot."
-Marilyn Monroe

Stay Lovely Ladies,
