From Adam Lambert’s spikes to Amy Winehouse’s piled-high beehive, today’s fashionable hairstyles may seem new and unique, but many are actually rooted in history. In this lecture, author Maureen Taylor (Fashionable Folks: Hairstyles 1840-1900) uses old photographs to show how hairstyles and facial hair changed throughout the 19th century.
