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.\"
