For the Experienced Braider submitted by skcramer on July 15, 2013, 8:54pm This short how-to book teaches you how to create fourteen braided hairstyles that range from basic braids and French braids to ribbon-woven braids and French halo braids to cornrows and microbraids. Each hairstyle includes simple step-by-step instructions with photographs illustrating each step, though the steps tend to focus only on starting the braids then prompt braiders to repeat steps and the photographs do not always make it clear which strands of hair need to be moved, so readers who are not especially familiar with braiding techniques may have a hard time following along. For readers with an adequate understanding of braiding, however, this book offers plenty of attractive new hairstyles. Supplementary material offers braiders tips for keeping their hair healthy, fun facts about braids, a glossary of terms and suggestions for further readings.
