Not All Good Books Require Hours of Reading

This book is excellent for learning how to braid hair. It also gives you an idea on styles for creating styles for braided hair.

This is what I've been searching for!!!

I have been looking for a book that can show me different hairstyles and how to do them. During my search on google the preview of this book can up in my search results. So, I had to buy it because this book showed everything I wanted to know by providing beautiful photos and step by step guides. Most of the styles I don't see where I am and since I am braider here in Oakland I want to provide a variety of the standard braids and twists. I highly recommend this book for the easy read and photos!!

A fellow braider's view

I loved the book! Really enjoyed how it explained the different forms of braids with excellent hair photos. The make up needed work, but other than that great way to show clients different hair styles. If you have a idea of how to do a style but don't really know this book is for you. A braider's go to mannual.

The Best Flat Twist

This shop could do the best flat twist around in the DC metro area. I am also featured in the book, and know Duyan personally.
