Throughout history, hair and historical figures have been closely intertwined. From political leaders like Hitler and Lincoln, to cultural icons like Elvis Presley and Brad Pitt, to media personalities like Don Lemon and Joy Reid, hair has played a crucial role in the ascent of many well-known figures. In fact, it could be argued that without the use of hair augmentation, many of these individuals may not have achieved the level of prominence that they did. History is a powerful force that shapes our identity and understanding of the world around us, as James Baldwin so eloquently stated. Hair Goes History, by J. D. Taylor, is a testament to the enduring impact of hair on history and challenges traditional historians to examine the role that hair has played in shaping the grandeur of the past.
