About the Book

My hair is a statement and always will be, even when I no longer have any. The social revolution of the Swinging Sixties led to a renaissance of unchecked hair growth, and long hair, especially on men, was worn as a political or countercultural symbol of protest and as an expression of masculinity. No-one who was affected by one of a turbulent decade's loudest controversies or anyone who ever wondered what all the fuss was about will fail to be interested in this personal account of when the 'us and them' divide between youth and elders was most profound.

Review :
The perfect book to take with you next time you visit the local barber. Possibly the best account written about the petty tyrannies of tonsorial fashion Alan Clayson remains Britain's foremost rock 'n' roll chronicler - and this time round, the focus is on the looks which went with the sounds Alan has proven himself to be an enlightening and entertaining guide to the byways of popular culture. Who better to write this Hairstory? This fascinatingly readable book will grow on readers, whether they are bald or bouffanted To Alan Clayson's many talents - writer, musician, performance artist, pop trivia meister - we must now add top-notch (or, rather, topknot) historian. His chronicle of enforced barbering is hair-lirious
