 The Five-Minute Hair Stylist
by Christine Moodie
This is a great book that offers all sorts of hairstyling ideas for all
sorts of hair. There are great styles that can be worn by everyone from very
long hair to short hair. This book is truly versatile and full of new
hairstyling ideas.
 The
author, Christine Moodie is a well-known makeup artist, hair stylist and
fashion expert. Her work has appeared in many different magazines. Her 82
page book is one of my all time favorites. Every style in the book from the
English braid to a beautiful French Roll variation are presented in
beautiful color. The 125 color photographs show excellent detail.
I have often borrowed (with appropriate credit notations) some of
Christine's photos from her book in my various Hair Boutique articles. I
love how simple, yet elegant many of the styles are. One of my favorites is
the Edwardian Knot that is very easy to do but looks stunning when finished.
 The
Five-Minute Hair Stylist contains a gorgeous collection of 30 different
hairstyles which includes everything from a simple twist to a romantic
chignon. This is an interesting book because of the variety of styles. There
are definite styles for short, medium and long hair.
An example of a great, easy style for short hair is the Marcel Wave.
There are complete directions on how to give your hair this great retro
look.
 The
goal of this book is to present styles that most women can create themselves
with relative ease and confidence. I think the goals have been met. The
styles that are presented are not difficult or tricky in any way.
The book contains excellent instructions that are illustrated with color
photos.
Many of the styles are classic looks and the models that are included in
the book have different types of hair from thin and thick to wavy and
straight.
My current hairstylist resists using photos of hairstyles that are not
done on "real people". She believes that the beautiful styles you see in
many hair magazines are unrealistic for the average person to recreate. I
agree.
So does Christine Moodie.
I highly recommend this book. It is beautiful to look at, has great new
hairstyle ideas for all lengths and types of hair and is edited well.
Best wishes,
