Reviews

A thick, tangled and deliciously idiosyncratic history of hair ... There is plenty to inform and intrigue here, partly because the study of hair demands an exhilarating disciplinary range: from the art of cuts and colours, the history of scissors, razors and combs and the sociology of barbershops, to the semiotics of hair pulling and lock tugging, the ethnography of Afros , and the sexual politics of boyish bobs ... The volumes appeal to period-specific scholars, but also slot together, forming a continuous, braided history. -- Times Literary Supplement
