Abstract

Hair care is a significant international industry – estimated to be worth over £1.44 billion in contemporary Britain (Mintel, 2015). Given this, it is perhaps not so surprising to learn that British women spend on average £40,000 on their hair over a lifetime (Sharkey, 2014). However, despite women’s preoccupation with hair, social science research has paid little attention to this area (McCracken, 1997; Cox, 1999).
