Many of you know that I wrote a book on eighteenth century hair and wig styling called 18th Century Hair & Wig Styling book. It’s been out of print for several years, and I am finally getting organized to do a second print run… with a discounted presale!
What’s in the book? There’s three sections:
1. Historical overview (including style details & changes over time)
2. Practical techniques (making hairpieces, working with fake hair)
3. Step-by-step instructions for 25 specific hair/wig styles
Here’s the table of contents
And here’s a preview of several pages from the book:
Reviews have been overwhelmingly positive! For anyone who does 18th century costuming specifically, this book will be very helpful at understanding which style details go with which era, as well as how to reproduce them using modern, practical techniques. You can use the techniques with your own hair, hairpieces, and wigs. It would also be useful for anyone who would like to know more about working with hairpieces and wigs of any era for costuming purposes.
You can preorder the books (which will ship in March) for a discounted price of $34.99 (regular price is $50), plus $10 off international shipping.
In future posts, I’ll be highlighting some aspects of the book, as well as some reader results.
