This is an independent, best-effort site, written in good faith and made to be as accurate as possible to the best of our knowledge at the time of writing. Hair history is unusually vulnerable to invention myths, misdated photographs and celebrity-led claims, so we expect to be wrong sometimes — and we would like to know. Suggestions are just as welcome as corrections.

How to send a correction or suggestion

Email [email protected] with:

  • the address of the page;

What happens next

Every email is read, and we will reply in a timely manner, on a best-effort basis. If a correction or suggestion holds up, we update the page and its “Last updated” date.
