18th century hair book!
I got my hairdo book today! Yay!
It has been so hard the past few days seeing all you west - coasters get your copies, and imagining them slowly trickling across the nation in the mail.
Today when I got the mail I just sat down on the porch and read for half an hour without moving. So far I am really liking it. Of course I knew it would be awesome, but I did fear that there wouldn't be enough info on styling your own natural hair. I know a lot of you love wigs, and I think they are great, too! But if you have met me you probably know that I have a lot of hair, and I also have a certain vanity about it. I want to let it show! Not to mention the trouble of stowing it all somewhere if I did do a full wig.
So I was glad to see so many of the styles using so much of your own hair. I really ought to try some earlier, simple ones, but I am dying to try something huge! I think I could do Miss Nettlethorpe with just my own hair and a couple false buckles. But I don't mind adding wefts or pieces as long as I can still show off my own hair!
My one regret is that I did not donate to the cause beyond the price of the book. I wish I had! Now all my friends' names are in there and mine is not. That's what I get for being a cheapskate.
