    About this ebook

    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, and of 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.

      This is the companion book to Bad Hair. Rather than men looking a bit 70s metrosexual, its secretaries and Texans and other girlies who celebrate Big Hair. I wouldn't give this to any woman over the age of 30 - she might be insulted. Gift it to a Goth girl instead, she'll have a good laff.
    • 2/5
      Quirky photos mostly of high-fashion models. I think it would have been more interesting with more photos of real people (like the woman on the cover). Not very useful as a reference book.
