There's something for everyone in Braid-O-Rama, a gorgeous collection of beautiful hairstyles that you can do on yourself--without a trip to the salon. Everywhere you look, you probably see pretty braids and enviable up-dos--from models strutting runways to bridesmaids at weddings, from ladies dressed up for a night out to everyday women on the street. In Braid-O-Rama, you'll learn how to do more than 40 trendy and classic looks on your own hair, including fanciful braided crowns, ooh-la-la French twists, mega-volume blowouts, eye-tricking bob-for-a-days, retro victory rolls, and so much more!
