disappointment September 4, 2008
I had cancer 2 years ago, and with the chemotherapy came alopecia. I mean I was really bald. I missed my hair so much. When it began to grow back, thick and curly (before baldness I had skinny, straight hair) I started to appreciate and love it. I started to take care of it: no more yanking a comb through it, no more rubber bands on pony tails. I decided never again to cut it, but to grow it forever. The BEAUTIFUL BRAIDS book was intended to help me choose and to achieve "styles for every occasion," but it didn't. There weren't complete instructions nor helpful illustrations. Most of the braided styles looked like those a 10-year-old might create. I can do an English braid. I had wanted help with some styles a little more complicated and interesting. I didn't get it.
 Braiding your own hair January 14, 2008

If you are braiding someone else's hair, most of what is here probably won't help you. However, if you, like I, are trying to learn to French braid your own hair, where you can't really see what you are doing, this book can help. In fact, I spent part of every evening for nearly 2 weeks with my hands in my hair making knots, and this book in my lap. All of a sudden my hands 'got it', and now I can do about any braid I want on myself.
 Lame Braids November 12, 2007

Not worth the money. Looks like hand sketches and too wordy for anyone who doesn't already know how to braid. Poor variety of styles. Book is very small and hard to keep open.

In the picture and discriptions on Amazon I feel I was missled
I thought is was a nice big book with nice pictures, or at least thats how they made it seem. When I got it it was just a tiny little black and white book with drawings of braids.
good luck
I will continue to shop at Amozon
