Description: Women's hairstyles have changed dramatically over the past century. Charting the progression from styles dictated by fashion and tradition towards more unique and individualised looks, this book explores how the history of women's hair in the west corresponds with their liberation over the course of the 1900s. Refined illustrations, era-specific photographs, and contemporary images tell the story of the hairstyles and fashion trends that flourished between 1940 and 1980, as well as those in vogue today. The volume closes with a section dedicated to the most famous hairstylists and salons de coiffeur, past and present.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 236-237).
