I've decided that I'm going to buy some hair extensions to practice with before using my own hair.  Here's just a small taste of what can be done.

Hair brooch
Braiding hair
Hair medallion
Hairwork brooch
Self Instructor in the Art of Hair Work   This one is a whole book from 1867, free on archive.org

Another excellent article with photos and illustrations
