Sumptuously illustrated and authoritatively researched, this book showcases an amazing array of wonderfully imaginative styles, while also demonstrating the remarkable skill of their creators. This unique publication includes over 1,000 hairstyles - from beautiful Victorian chignons to Fifties ponytails to the work of today's top stylists.
