Whoa!

"Big Hair" is an understatement for some of the hairsytles represented in this book. Some are best described as Outrageously Big Hair. Tons of feathering, teasing and aqua net went into the creation of these styles! You won't be able to put this book down, it's like a train wreck that you can't stop staring at.Like it's companion book "Bad Hair," I first saw this at my hair salon. The funny thing is, my stylist said that people are starting to request these styles... whoa!

Another hair-larious book (bad pun intended)

Innes-Smith is back again with another hilarious book. When you were a kid waiting at the salon/barber to get your hair cut, do you remember picking up those large books filled with the latest hairstyles? I remember thinking they were hideous back then. Well, they really were hideous/hilarious and the author has collected them for this pictorial of bad coifs. Great book to leave on your coffee table to amuse your guests.

A small book about big hair

One of the authors of "Bad Hair" is back with another off-the-wall collection of atrocious but funny Do's. But this time, they are so voluminous that they make Marge Simpson's hair look like a crew cut. The photos, gathered from window displays of hair salons, depict a dazzling array of outrageously hairy heads. Frizzed, teased, poufed, upswept, sculpted, bobbed, and coerced into outsized and unnatural shapes, these hairstyles are not for the faint of heart. Captions would have enhanced the presentation of these masterpieces.
