Big Hair

by James Innes Smith

Big Hair Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A hair-raising journey through the era when big was king.

In the beginning, there was the hair. And some of the hair was bad, but it was small. As men and women everywhere worked to improve and increase their lot, however, they stumbled onto some of humankind's most miraculous innovations: spray, gel, mousse, crimping irons, andof course, the perm. With these new tools, people everywhere suddenly found themselves able to coax their lank, lifeless tresses toward glorious new heights. The age of big hair had begun.

Now, the greatest of these bouffants, afros, rakes, beehives, and Flock-of-Seagulls have been plucked from their spots in hairdressers' windows and given the respect they so clearly demand. Bigger and badder than you ever dreamed possible, Big Hair goes out to all those people of yesteryear who were unafraid to think BIG.

Synopsis:

From the author of the renowned "Bad Hair." Bigger and badder than readers ever dreamed possible, "Big Hair" goes out to all those people of yesteryear who were unafraid to think "big"--those who wore bouffants, afros, rakes, and beehives.
