An
excerpt:
"Hairstyle Designing is a Craft, which is to say it requires both
artistic knowledge of how a thing will look best and the mechanical or technical
ability to make it look that way. Both the art and technique of the craft are
analyzed herein.
BOOK ONE
of this volume outlines principles which govern design in all fields, with
particular application to hairstyle designing. These fundamentals...are
generally accepted laws which govern the beauty of natural and artificial shapes
and structures and are the foundation of all design.
BOOK TWO
presents basic mechanical principles underlying the appearance of the finished
hairdress regardless of the means by which it was executed. Since these
principles could not readily be conveyed to you abstractly, they are accompanied
by suggestions for their application. The methods outlined in Book Two are
prescribed as being representative of methods in standard use by leading
exponents of hairstyle designing in this period."
