Hi Lisa,
I don't know whether it's exactly what you had in mind, but Lacis
publishes a reprint of an 1875 book
You might also look at Carol Rifelj's new book, called _Coiffures_ (Delaware,
2010), which talks about this. Maybe her bibliography would be useful to you.

The Campbell book is excellent. I bought it years ago, intending to
play around with hairwork, and didn't-- but it explains the process
very very well indeed.
The main issue is obtaining parts-- chain ends, fastenings, and
jewelry findings. I never put the time into that part of things.
Findings are actually not a problem for me, as I make beaded jewelry already,
and have those types of finding around, mostly in silver. PLUS, I have all the
needed supplies, torches, etc., to make my own findings from precious metal
clay, whether silver or gold, and this may be the perfect
Lisa,
A Kumi Himo frame will ease the process for you. Many of the braids
are made in the same manner as Kumi Himo.
