Publisher's Note
There are about 100,000 hairs on our heads; but through the years, there have been even more ways to grow them, style them, cut them, color them, and even shave them. Ancient Egyptians wore special beeswax cones in their hair that melted to keep their heads cool. In eighteenth-century Europe, some women's hair rose up to two feet above their heads and was coated with lard and flour. Even models of battleships have been nestled into people's hair in the past.
Here is a collection of little-known facts about hair around the world and through history. The text, together with the carefully researched and fun-filled illustrations, offer a witty and entertaining look at hairstyles.

Industry reviews
"Swain's mixture of humor and history makes this an effective look, not just at hairstyles, but also at social change...A cut above."
Kirkus Reviews  (08/01/2002)
