thread_title: Untitled

message: I think this article should be centered on the historical worldwide social and cultural perceptions and attitudes associated with hairstyles, and not just "such and such hairstyle was fashionable for women in the United States on the 60's".  A more global view would be very nice.  It would also be nice if it talked about hairstyles of the ancient world.  It is also very centered on women hairstyles (which, being fair, are usually the most diverse).  Sadly, I'm no expert in the subject so I can't really contribute.

replies: text: I don't think there should even be an article on this. Just leaving a simple definition would be better than this mess. More specific topics with enough content should have their own pages. 75.157.92.226 (talk) 00:07, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

text: I agree with Oantonio (talk). This article, and even more the introduction of it, is totally eurocentric, is almost offensive to talk about a minority like a worlds view on a topic.--Lsanczyk (talk) 19:52, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

message: :Image:Ringlet.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: I came to this article looking for a history of hair-cutting and hairstyles, which Wikipedia seem to usually have, but there is not one for hair-cutting and hairstyles correct? --Matthew Bauer (talk) 03:30, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I originally came to this article for the same thing.  I've not found any pages recounting the history of hair-cutting, and I believe this would be the appropriate article to contain such information.  If anyone knows of decent sources on this topic, I'll gladly incorporate the information into the article. -Verdatum (talk) 18:52, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

message: In the Notable Hairstyles section, What is the purpose of listing the style "part" with no corresponding article, description or picture.  Also should the cuts which only have links have at least a brief description in the table?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.166.186.198 (talk) 23:22, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: In cleaning up, I left in "part" because I figured it would be possible to write and article (or at least a section) on the concept, and while it may not be a hairstyle in the strictest sense, it is an important aspect of hairstyling.  If anyone feels it doesn't belong, and removes it, I certainly won't cry.  While I don't know if a table of hairstyles is the best thing for this article, so long as the table is here, yes, entries in the table should ideally be filled in as completely as possible.  Inlined references to Reliable Sources would be extra nice. -Verdatum (talk) 15:59, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I added to the list of hairstyles a section about a "virtual hairstyle", it was deleted with no explanation and it is totally a relevant thing to put here, if speaking about hairstyle, a virtual hairstyle is something that may be new, but is certainly here to stay and so why should wikipedia not give an explanation of what it is on its page about hairstyle.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.179.178.164 (talk) 11:04, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Yea this video is interesting and gives a general overview, but the problem is, as with the rest of the article, that this is only representative of the history of "Western" styles. Though, we could use this to find the sources and styles back then. We still need documentation on the styles of different ethnic groups/peoples all over the world (which means that when we have enough info, this article will probably have to be split into different pages since this is a very wide/general topic). - M0rphzone (talk) 08:21, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Neat video

message: I'd love to see mention of when/why/what/how the haircutting began in early man.  I know primates groom one another, but at what point did men and women start cutting hair?  Wearing hair up and out of the way?    Does hair in the wild fall out at a shorter length?  Does long hair interfere with hunting (and fleeing)?
And not necessarily germane to this article, I have the same sort of questions about face-shaving.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.182.21.251 (talk) 02:56, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: Part (haircut) redirects to List of hairstyles where you have to do a search to find the entry.
A part is often a big part of a hairstyle, right? Right side for women? Left side for men? Using parts in Afroheritage people to make interesting styles.
I think we need a small section in this article, the redirect to come to that section here, fix the entry at dab page Part, and add an entry to dab page Parting.
I just cannot find good sources because I do not have access to Google books.
I'll try to get some help at IRC to support some content, but if you don't see anything soon, maybe somebody could consider making the section. Thoughts? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:01, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Hist401

message: This article could use a lot of structural changes. For instance, brief mentions of social and cultural implications are scattered throughout the article when there is a whole section on it. The beginning mention of religious head coverings could be briefly mentioned but the detailing feels more at home under the social/cultural implications section. The section could use an overall update as well, with more information and some edits to the transitional sentences. Shriveled Branch (talk) 22:36, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I added a bit more to social/cultural implications about gender expressions and shaving hair in religion. I hope it doesn't seem to be too redundant to mention hair as a "sex symbol". Especially since the section Health and Hair briefly mentions the "sexual" (and I believe also the emotional) appeal of hair. There seems to be some overlap in what is healthy and beautiful alongside what we perceive as appealing and appropriate in society. Hopefully I could continue to make both sections distinct from each other.Shriveled Branch (talk) 06:32, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Social Implications 

message: I added a bit more of the social implications of various hair cuts and styles, eg women's liberation and the bob, Black is Beautiful and the Afro. I also added information regarding issues of hair discrimination in the US against Black hairstyles. However this page could use a thorough cleaning or re-organization.
The organization of time and themes jumbles everything. However I am not comfortable reorganizing the whole article based on my whim.
Additionally, I would delete sections that have no sources or seem to not add to the conversation eg hair washing. Again, I however am not comfortable making these changes at my level. I agree with the previous note about how the section about the Dido flip also seems somewhat irrelevant.  The.past.and.the.curious (talk) 07:47, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
