Home Hair Styling: Tips Of The Stars For Women Over 30

Professional hair stylist Michael Hall offers tips and techniques for maintaining that "salon fresh look" without the use of hot irons, curlers, or gels, in this hands-on hairstyling guide. After Hall first demonstrates the techniques of "scrunching" up the moussed hair, blow drying in stages, and lightly spraying for that full-bodied look, two other models show viewers how to perform the same process themselves. The final segment--which is almost superfluous--has Hall talking about his approach to cutting hair. The basic steps for styling, however, which require nothing more than mousse, a hair dryer, hairspray, and a pair of hands to produce plenty of curls and volume, are well-demonstrated and could appeal to the working woman on the go who wants to look good, but doesn't have time for a trip to the salon. On the other hand, most of the instruction takes place in the first ten minutes; the last twenty are a little repetitious and the final segment is filler. An optional purchase.
