    This book is absolutely stunning. It includes general hair tips, hair product and accessories descriptions and uses, and tons of tutorials. This book has inspired me to try and do more with my hair, and there are so many options and styles to choose from. From modern looks to retro inspired styles, there truly is something for everyone. The instructions are clear and helpful, the pictures are beautiful, and there are drawings throughout to help emphasize the details. The book is so visually appealing too that instead of storing it away in a bookshelf or drawer, it's a perfect display piece on my vanity. So happy I purchased this, and it is now my go-to reference guide for all things hair-related!!

    While only some of the hairstyles featured appealed to me, this book has very clear instructions on how to acheive each style. Rubi Jones also explains how properly blow dry hair depending on the look you want, with varying techniques for smooth or wavy hair. This is an inexpensive and helpful book for any woman who needs a few new ideas for styling her hair.

    I learned that it is only hair, have fun and experiment. Don't be so serious. There are tons of great options. I tried Curly Girl and all the stupid fads that left lots to be desired. Now I know just to enjoy my hair and do what feels right. There are no secrets. There are some great hairstyles you can try and it discusses the many hair products you can use to get the results you want. Best hair book ever.

    Received this before the specified date. It's detailed with step by step colour photographs. The styles shown are a good alternative take on the styles already shown in previous books. Definitely worth the money. I've learnt various techniques and variations on styles such as the fishtail braid and the basic bun. One very happy customer :-)

    Wasn't as good as I thought it was gonna be. Was very limited on styles despite it saying its " all you need" sort of book. I just felt it's a very poor book.
