Features: Once my hair was ash gray. To begin with, my hair was light golden. Looking at a strand of it, I was surprised—it was from the glass small box of a Victorian-era brooch my mother had kept since I was a child. Years later, the brooch was made of oak branches inlaid with gold, set in a circular gold frame with a glass door, and my hair nestled inside. If you happen to encounter it, please let me know. This book is suitable for women who seek inspiration from their own hair, men with a "voyeuristic" interest, social historians or art historians, men, social historians or art historians, barbers, and anyone interested in the unrefined fashion and illusions of humanity. Robin Blye Frank has been obsessed with hair, art, and fashion throughout her life, and with an irresistible passion, she has compiled this book, making it a unique gem.
