Description

Much more than simply an adornment, a hairstyle evokes a moment in time and communicates an individual's concept of personal identity. Marilyn Monroe radiates Hollywood glamour, the Beatles' mop-tops embody rock-and-roll rebelliousness, Farrah Fawcett's tousled waves vividly call to mind the decadent disco era, Grace Jones' flattop symbolizes her pioneering androgyny. From Roaring Twenties bobs to punk mohawks, eighteenth-century perruques to dreadlocks and Afros, Hair is a portfolio of the iconic hairstyles that define our cultural world"--From book jacket.
