| |  | | | From The Publisher
Hair: Public, Political, and Extremely Personal is a candid, humorous, and revealing look at America's hair obsessions. Journalist Diane Simon, the curly-haired daughter of straight-haired parents who has suffered much for her locks, uses her own personal traumas as a point of entry into this fascinating subject. Simon visits Harlem braiding salons and Hassidic wig shops, tries every type of hair removal, and even spends an afternoon at the Hair Club for Men headquarters. Through her research, Simon explores the different choices people make to transform themselves through their hair.
Author Biography: Diane Simon studied at Columbia University and Yale University and was a recipient of a National Endowment for the Humanities Younger Scholar's Grant. She has written extensively on books, television, and movies for numerous publications, including The Nation. She lives in New York City with her greyhound, Tille, and is currently writing a book about perfume.
