Description
Get Yer 'Air Cut is a testament to the enduring impact of hairstyles as forms of personal and political expression. "My hair is a statement and always will be, even when I no longer have any."
The social revolution of the Swinging Sixties ignited a renaissance of unchecked hair growth. During this era, long hair, especially on men, became a potent symbol of protest and countercultural identity, and an expression of masculinity.
This personal account explores one of the decade's loudest controversies. It offers an engaging perspective for anyone who experienced the profound 'us and them' divide between youth and elders, or for those curious about what all the fuss was truly about.
