Gift Idea: New Book Reveals How to Create the Beautiful Hairstyles of Eleven Beloved Disney Princesses

Disney’s film, Frozen, has been nothing short of a phenomenon, and heroines Anna and Elsa have become hugely popular worldwide.

For the first time, anyone will be able to replicate their gorgeous hairstyles, thanks to the step-by-step instructions in the beautifully photographed book, DISNEY FROZEN HAIRSTYLES: Inspired by Anna and Elsa (Edda USA; October 2014; $12.95). Also being released at the same time is DISNEY PRINCESS HAIRSTYLES: 40 Amazing Princess Hairstyles with Step by Step Images, which features the lovely “do’s made famous by eleven other Disney princesses, including Ariel, Jasmine and Mulan.

Truly unique, DISNEY FROZEN HAIRSTYLES is the first book to reveal the secrets behind Anna and Elsa’s different looks. Each of the twenty-eight hairdos is created on a real child and meticulously photographed in full color to make even the most complicated coiffure easy to achieve. DISNEY PRINCESS HAIRSTYLES features instructions for forty different hairdos — from Cinderella’s beautiful bun to Jasmine’s ponytail, and from Rapunzel’s endless curls to Pocahontas’ hidden braid. Again, the styles are photographed on real girls.

DISNEY PRINCESS HAIRSTYLES and DISNEY FROZEN HAIRSTYLES also features “Braidschool”, an invaluable section that shows how to construct the basic braids that are fundamental to the Princesses’ looks as well as so many other hairstyles. Braidschool includes detailed directions and illustrations for creating traditional, French, Dutch, rope, and fishtail braids.

“Try as many hairstyles as you can and use them as inspiration to create your own look,” urges the author. Offering hairdos perfect for special occasions- from parties and proms to weddings – as well as everyday styles, DISNEY PRINCESS HAIRSTYLES makes it fun and easy for anyone to create looks inspired by Disney’s cherished heroines.

“Don’t hesitate to jump right in and experiment, to combine styles and create your own Frozen-inspired look,” writes the author. Offering pretty up-dos as well as everyday styles, DISNEY FROZEN HAIRSTYLES makes it fun and easy for anyone to create looks inspired by these beloved royal sisters.

In her glory!

When our books arrived in the mail, my two oldest, princess obsessed, hair do’ crazy, daughters went nuts! They immediately sat at the table flipping through each page and selecting which styles they were going to request I try on them. I’m a former teacher, mom, and blogger. I am NOT a hairstylist! My expectations of their satisfaction were low, very low. But, we got to it and for the next few days (really every day since) we gave a few styles a shot!

Here are two of our favorites:

So as you can see, the book has very easy to follow steps, with corresponding drawings or photos plus real life photographs of a child sporting the hair do’. These books would make a wonderful gift for any girl at any Disney princess-loving age!
