Vintage Hairstyling: Retro Styles with Step-by-Step Techniques by Lauren Rennells is the go-to book for retro hairstyling. This hairstyling tutorial manual shows how to recreate stunning hairstyles from the 1920s through the 1960s. This 3rd Edition takes hairstyles from the 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s and breaks them down into simple, easy-to-follow instructions. It uses over 1300 photographs for directions and explains each hairstyling step in detail. When the first edition was released it was an instant hit. Partly because it is not only a manual, it is also fun to read. The book contains high-quality images of modern-day models with their finished hairstyles. In the introduction and throughout the book are interesting facts about the history of hairstyling, origins of styles, and information about starlets and performers who made the styles popular. This 160-page full-colour book has 10 main chapters. The book begins with the basics of design and styling. It works its way back to advanced techniques. It also details information on pin-up makeup, vintage nail styles, and vintage accessories to finish your look!
