Details: Product Description Getting ready for a party this weekend? Looking for a cool new do for school? Readers of all abilities can get stuck in to this fun book as each hairstyle is graded with a difficulty rating of 1 to 5. There are also a number of styles you can 'do yourself' without the need for an extra helping hand. A 'tools and techniques' section outlines everything you need to start hair styling, from accessories to different brushes and products. Tips and techniques are described so you can practice your skills before you begin. From School Library Journal Gr 3–6—This debut by Benjamin, an experienced hairstylist, is a brief overview of hairstyles for elementary schoolers. Offering 30 different tutorials rated either "apprentice," "stylist," or "master stylist," the book is organized into five sections: "The Basics," "Beginner's Hair," "School Hair" (however, Benjamin doesn't explain what makes a particular hairdo appropriate for school), "Party Hair," and "Fun Hair." While many children will be able to accomplish these styles on their own, the majority will need a more experienced helper or another person to work on. Each entry features a supply list and step-by-step instructions with accompanying photos. Though the book includes a more diverse depiction of children compared with similar titles, the majority of the girls portrayed are white. The images make following the straightforward directions that much easier, and the volume is peppered with useful tips. There are enough activities to entice those new to braiding and those who want more of a challenge. Pair this selection with Sasha Coefield's DIY Braids: From Crowns to Fishtails, Easy, Step-by-Step Hair Braiding Instructions.
