This is a nostalgic trip through early 2000s girls' hairstyles that were popular with the elementary and middle school crowd. I completely forgot about many of these, including the zigzag part.

lol this is how i learned how to do braids, french braids and other hair styles when i was younger because H*lima refused to teach me

I thought I was of very good use. It shows how to care for your hair. If you like this one you should get the hair book. (Also by American girl)

What a blast from the past! It was nice to read it. Very nostalgic.

I had hopes that this would be a good book for someone such as myself who has very long hair and wants to be able to style my hair in new and interesting ways. This book is not the one for doing so. I know it's listed for girls, but some of the hair styles were very childish. If a teenager was wanting this, and knew nothing about it, they would be very disappointed I'm afraid I cannot recommend this book as being worth while.

Yeah, I guess it was pretty good. I like doing stuff with hair, like braiding it and making hair accessories, but I don't really think this is the best book for it. If you like making stuff for your body try it's a very good book for teenage girls. And if you're into klutz the book are also very nice.

Picked this book up for my 9-year old daughter at the American Girl store in Chicago. It has lots of great information about caring for hair, identifying your hair type, and lots of step-by-step illustrations to complete many cute and unique hairstyles. My daughter is just getting in to doing her own hair and was very excited about this book.

[Kaziah]

It shows you so many cool hairdos

[Lindsey]

this book had some really good tips.

[Laura Hall]

This was an essential purchase for me and my 4 girls since I am really not into hair. We enjoyed reading it together and looking at some new styles we could do. Good general information.

[Lynette ~ Talia's Tomes ~]

This book has lots of really cool step-by-step hair styles and hair care advice!

I'm 14, and I recommend this book.

[Lori]

Fun for girls to learn some basics.

[Jillian]

I think one of my aunts bought this book for me because I had absolutely no use for it. I still don't. For me, doing my hair is actually drying it with a blowdryer. Not for me!

[Zizi]

I only read it because I could get some cool ideas for my dolls hair!!
I could never do those things with mine!!

[Laurla2]

did not realize this was a childrens book. there was only one page in the book I hadn't seen before elsewhere.

[Camryn]
