2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great reference book. Very informative.By Fefe MabeeThis book is full of great information for any one that wants to know about hair. It is presented in a terminology form which I found very easy to use.28 of 31 people found the following review helpful. superficial and under-illustratedBy J. StephensI am a professional hairdresser and hairdressing historian. I was terribly disappointed when I opened this book. It has very few useful illustrations; particularly for hair before the 20th c The fact checking was sloppy and there are many factual errors that a lay person would not be able to catch. Heavy reliance on website information reduces one's ability to check facts. Use as bathroom reading only; not as an authority for scholarly work.13 of 15 people found the following review helpful.
