With style tips to pull it all together and five DIY projects for personalizing bright and sparkly pins, this is the new must-have beauty book.
This book is mainly for longer straight hair. I have books in my shop that feature only black hair, quite a few actually since I live on a Black island and hair is a big thing here. I also have books that address just curly hair (with which I have problems - see my pic). And even picture books of men with extremely bad and embarrassing hair styles, Bad Hair and women who embraced the 80s with too much backcombing and product Big Hair.
What I do not have in my shop is a book featuring Asian, Black, White, straight, curly, kinky, wavy, homosexual, heterosexual, transsexual or any other all inclusive, politically-correct hair book.
Unfortunately one reviewer, there are only four, thinks this book is racist and homo/transphobic for just those reasons. It would not be a book about longish, straightish hair put up with bobby pins if it was all-inclusive. Are we going to have a movement where books that are not all inclusive of every race, religion and gender will be slammed and their authors' insulted, is this where we are headed?
Sometimes I know for sure that PC has gone over the horizon into the land of the ridiculous.
Mainly simple easy styles. Most of the styles look cute because of various colored bobby pins, if you use normal colored bobby pins the hairstyles aren't going to look like much of anything special. Also, most hairstyles are for straight long hair - it would have been nice to see some styles for bobs and curly haired girls.
This book features no black women, which I found weird. Like, why? I'm trying to come up with a reason that isn't rooted in racism.
Where there no black hair models available? Is this book for a certain type of hair? Why did no one try to make this book more inclusive to every type of hair? Why wouldn't you WANT to have a diverse group of styles, faces, hair types?
Could have also featured--gasp--a man! I mean, this book didn't even try to tap into the gay and trans market. Helllooooooooo!
Reading a book has never made me wish I had longer hair until I finished Pin It! Such cute styles. Can’t wait to try some out. I’m especially excited about making my own bobby pins!
