The Braid Book: 20 Fun and Easy Styles
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Hardcover
ISBN: 9780857833303
Overview:
Discover The Braid Book, a warm, hands-on guide born from real-world braid-bar experience. When Sarah Hiscox tried to braid her 8-year-old daughter’s hair and found the process messy and distracting from precious time together, she and Willa Burton transformed that challenge into a vibrant, practical manual. This hardcover guide presents 20 fun and easy styles that you can recreate at home, from a simple plaited halo to a dramatic fishtail and an intricate Mohican-inspired braid. Each design is unpacked with clear, step-by-step instructions, handy tips on sectioning and tension, and quick tweaks to suit different hair textures and lengths. The book also shows how to elevate looks with accessories—clips, pompoms and bands—and features safe, temporary styling tools like hair chalk and glitter for party-ready finishes. Written in a friendly, encouraging tone, it’s perfect for teens learning self-expression, busy parents teaching kids, or anyone who wants salon-quality braids without the salon price tag. A durable hardcover makes this a giftable, keepsake guide for everyday styling, school mornings, and weekend adventures alike.
What Makes This Book Stand Out:
This book stands out because it translates a real-world braid-bar ethos into an accessible at-home toolkit. It isn’t a gallery of pretty pictures; it’s a practical, beginner-friendly curriculum that demystifies braiding with clear, repeatable steps and bite-sized tips. The 20 styles are thoughtfully ordered to build confidence—from quick, everyday looks to more elaborate designs—so readers feel progress with each page turn. The authors’ hands-on background informs every instruction, ensuring techniques align with real-world hair challenges, weather, and busy schedules. The inclusion of accessories and temporary styling tools expands creativity beyond the plait, enabling playful, festival-ready looks. This is more than a how-to; it’s a confidence-builder, a gift idea, and a family activity that turns hair-styling into shared, joyful moments.
Who This Book Is Perfect For:
Ideal for anyone who wants stylish braids without salon visits: parents teaching children, tweens and teens, budding young stylists, and busy adults seeking quick, polished looks. It suits gift buyers hunting a practical, creative present for birthdays or holidays, teachers or youth-group leaders looking for a DIY activity, and BookTok enthusiasts who love learning new skills at home. With approachable language and universal techniques, the book works across various hair types and lengths, making it a staple for households that want reliable, repeatable braid routines for school, events, or weekend fun.
