For example, in 2017, the singer Macklemore denounced his hipster undercut hairstyle, a style that is associated with Hitler Youth and alt-right men, and in 2015, actress Rose McGowan shaved her head in order to take a stance against the traditional Hollywood sex symbol stereotype.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume examines how hair - or lack thereof - can be an important symbol of gender, class, and culture around the world and through history. Hairstyles have come to represent cultural heritage and memory, and even political leanings, social beliefs, and identity. This second edition builds upon the original volume, updating all entries that have evolved over the last decade, such as by discussing hipster culture in the entries on beards and mustaches and recent medical breakthroughs in hair loss. New entries have been added that look at specific world regions, hair coverings, political symbolism behind certain styles, and other topics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVictoria Sherrow\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eFor Appearance's Sake: The Historical Encyclopedia of Good Looks, Beauty, and Grooming\u003c\/i\u003e (2001), \u003ci\u003eEncyclopedia of Youth and War: Young People as Participants and Victims\u003c\/i\u003e (1999), and \u003ci\u003eWomen and the Military: An Encyclopedia\u003c\/i\u003e (1996), a 1996 RUSA Outstanding Reference Source award winner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 640\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.28 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 19, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45431479435366,"sku":"9798216452164","price":81.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/76A7PFPSzN9798216452164.webp?v=1775778614","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/encyclopedia-of-hair-a-cultural-history-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
