Badass Braids: 45 Maverick Braids, Buns, and Twists Inspired by Vikings, Game of Thrones, and More by Shannon Burns
4.0
A wonderful and timely publication on how to obtain fantastical and intricate braids, from easy Sailor Moon inspired half-buns to intricate Elizabethan updos. Specific characters are included, like Princess Leia Organa and Rei from Star Wars, Katniss from Hunger Games, Eowyn from Lord of the Rings, as well as the television shows mentioned in the title.
The hairstyles included cover a wide range from practical and sensible for adventurously active heroines, through modest and romantic for regency-era reserved lady-types, all the way to regal and magnificent for powerful ruling ladies. There are also a few more masculine styles.
Optimistic (in my opinion) difficulty levels and time required to complete the looks are suggested, as well as lovely photographs and drawings explaining the steps involved to achieve the braids and short descriptions of the necessary hair tools and techniques.
Although most of the braids are suitable for formal occasions, many styles can be simplified for everyday use.
Great fun for anyone who likes experimenting with hair styles, fans of fantasy and sci-fi characters, or anyone trying to emulate the style of these heroines. I frequently braid my hair, and am excited to try some of these styles.
