This book makes me jealous. I have never been able to braid my own hair. But I could do other peoples. Just not that well. My aunts Frieda and Jean on the other hand, would braid your hair so tight you didn’t blink for a week. Even after all the beautiful tutorials in this book, I still can’t braid worth a dang, but I try. This book does a good job with the illustrations and the final products, I just wish there was more step by step instructions. Plus for many of these braids, the instructions are more for someone else to do the braids rather than the wearer and the braider being one.

I would like to thank netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Race Point Publishing for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

There is a wide range of styles from all through sci-fi, historical fiction and animation. The photos are beautiful and the drawings used to explain the styles clear and easy to follow. Basic plaits are explained and there are styles for men.
The author also has a Youtube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/user/silvousplaits/videos) that has lots of videos going other some of the styles in the book, others and basic plaiting techniques.
