INTRODUCTION

This is one of the shorter chapters of the book because hair and wigs are not our primary focus. However, the subject is indeed important. This chapter is also more informational than practical, though it includes some "how­to" pointers that you will find beneficial. Numerous wonderful sources of in-depth information are readily available, so there is no need to rein­vent the wheel for this book. Just as something as small and simple as a nose can transform a familiar face into something new and almost unrec­ognizable, the same can be said of hair for suggesting a particular time period, personality, or age. Merely changing one’s hair color and length can often be enough to render that individual immediately unrecognizable to friends.
