This unique publication includes over 1,000 hairstyles - from beautiful Victorian chignons to Fifties ponytails to the work of today's top stylists. Page after page of visual inspiration, Hairstyles: Ancient to Present also contextualises through its accompanying texts the historical and cultural relevance of hairdressing in society as well as analysing its role as a signifier of female social status. Hairstyles: Ancient to Present is an essential book that every hairstylist must own. This publication will also appeal to every woman because hair is a universal feature of feminine beauty. As Martin Luther noted, 'Hair is the richest ornament of women'.
