March 15, 2013
Grades 6-12 Whether prom is coming up, or a wedding, or a fancy partyor even if you're just sick of ponytail daysthis how-to guide from Mayost, a styling pro, offers 34 ways to reinvent tired tresses. But before you get started, you'll need a few basic items, listed at the front of the book: hair spray, a blow-dryer, bobby pins ( the last thing you want to do is run out of bobby pins ), and so on. On the menu are styles with fun names like Fantastically Flirty, which involves a bow; Cinnamon Bun Sweetie; and Knotty & Nice. Each is accompanied by numbered step-by-step instructions that correspond to numbered full-color photos, plus a snapshot of the finished look. These are not simple styles, so prepare for some trial and error; each has 14 to 15 steps, and all will require an extra set of hands. The models featured throughout range in age from preteen (ribbon styles) to older teens (more sophisticated), so there's something for everyone. Some pretty hip dos for the nimbly fingered.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2013, American Library Association.)
