Customer Reviews

Five stars from a retired salon owner!

This is a great guide for kids and tweens who love to play with new hair styles, but aren't quite sure how to achieve the perfected look that they'd like. (There's a thing or two for us big girls to learn as well!) Beginners will learn how to identify hair types and how each type of hair requires specialized treatment. The styles offered are all cute and range from funky to classic. They are also all age-appropriate and do not require spending a lot of money to maintain. (Thank you, American Girl!) Hair: Styling Tips and Tricks for Girls is a wonderful learning tool and the skills it allows young readers to perfect can be a wonderful confidence-builder. Highly recommended!

Fantastic, Easy Hair Ideas

I checked this book out from the library before I purchased it. It is a great find! Easy, cute ideas are throughout this book. Myself and my two daughters have long hair and love trying new things with it. This book was full of uncomplicated, easy-to-do styles for school, church, swimming, and every day. I have checked out a lot of hair styling books and I like this one the best!

Grown up w/long hair

I'm an adult w/long hair, who's always wanted to find out how these gorgeous hairstyles are done, so I bought this for myself. My older sisters & mom always did my hair, but could not explain how they did it. Now I finally have found a book that explains it. I've done many of the hairstyles in this book, and have gotten lots of compliments on it.I'd suggest this book to both kids and adults. Awesome because it actually explains how to do the styles in a way I understand with drawings, etc. AWESOME BOOK!

American Girl's Best!

Once again, I loved this book. Probably because I love to do my hair. Other girls that have a passion for hair would feel this way, too. I reccoment try another book if you have short or curly hair because most of these work on strait and long hair. This book's sooooo cool because it has like, every hairstyle you could imagine including the popular-unpopular 'on and off' "Messy Buns" which are two buns on top of your head. They even have a rope braid!! They even have hair ideas that are made-up stuff!! They show you stuff like how to get a hair cut properly and how to curl and part your hair which is helpful if you are just learning how to do your hair. If you are in that case, you should probably get this book to get you started and give you some ideas. If you are an individial, like myself, and none of your friends have this. . .buy it!! If you are one of those people, don't copy other's people's hair and get your own ideas from this book!! It's sooo cool! All the hairstyles even have classical names like 'The Brady Bunch'. It also has quizzes!!! This book is one of American Girl's Best. I would also reccomend that if you are buying this book as a gift, have the person open it last so they can go home once everything's done and do their hair so they don't have to wait as long. Another suggestion and my final one:If you love hair, then you should ABSOLUTLY buy this great book!!
