The power of hair

Museum of Liverpool

''What does your hair say about you? Which hairstyles are forever linked with Liverpool and its unique identity?

From mop tops to modern-day rollers and curly blows, explore hair, hairstyles, and hairdressers in the city over time in this new photographic display.

Featuring images from the Museum of Liverpool’s collections, brought together for the first time, the images reveal the social and cultural impact of hair on local identity, showcase how salons and barbers are vital local community spaces, and celebrate everyday style queens who epitomise the power of hair.

Work by renowned local photographers Alex Hurst and Abdullah Badwi is featured, along with Paul Trevor and The Caravan Gallery who have documented the city, revealing stories of family and community.''
