Hairwrapping Techniques : Creative Jewelry for Hair
by Darlene Roether
This little 95 page booklet is unusual and very cool. I am always
looking for books that are off the beaten path. This entire book is devoted to using
creative jewelry for hair. Darlene Roether has studied and practiced many forms of arts
and crafts over the past twenty-five years. She seems to really enjoy hair wrapping and
does a great job of passing on her wisdom in this book.
Hairwrapping is explained as a way to create jewelry for the hair. This
book cautions you that hair wrapping takes practice. The book also recommends that you
form a reciprocal arrangement where you wrap a friend's hair and then they wrap yours.
Darlene provides a great history of hair wrapping. She points out that in the Middle Ages
from the 10th through the 12th century women wore their braids encased in various colors
of long silk that sometimes ended with tassels or metal caps. Another method of decorating
braids during the Middle Ages was to bind them with gold or silver ribbons.
Roether points out that hairwrapping and its variations offer other ways
of enhancing a look.
Every once in awhile I will stumble across a great little book that
gives me a new way of playing with my long hair. This book opened my eyes to all kinds of
new possibilities. The thing that I like about the book is that there is a complete
materials list so I can figure out what tools I need to make the hair wraps that I am
interested in trying.
If you like new looks and love to experiment with your hair you will
love this book.
