Cutting Your Family's Hair

No more bad hair days ever again! Give those you love the cut they want--plus remedies to keep those tresses healthy and shining. After all, who knows better than you what they like and how they live? Not only will you help them look great, but it's also a wonderful opportunity to pamper friends, partners, and children. Select a style, taking into account a person's hair type, texture, and density as well as their facial structure and lifestyle. Buying the proper tools and equipment is absolutely essential, from brushes to butterfly clips. Close-up photos and detailed instructions teach you how to hold the scissors and comb, the angles at which to snip, and how to establish guides to the correct lengths. Then comes an array of cuts, with and without bangs, shown from start to finish: easy-to-care-for trims for children; blunt-cut, wispy, and layered styles in all lengths for women; and basic short versions for men. Bonus: recipes for natural, homemade hair-care products, including shampoos, rinses, and conditioners.
