From Tom Jones to Billy Connolly, it has been a game-changer in the world of style and self-expression. As Tom Jones, the iconic singer from Wales, arrives in Pontypridd, Glamorgan, South Wales, his vibrant locks catch everyone's attention. Just like him, people have always sought ways to stand out and make a statement with their hair. In the 19th century, advertisements for Hills Hair & Whisker Dye boasted it as the best invention ever made by C. N. Crittenton in New York. Meanwhile, Wm. Crossmans Hair Invigorator and Restorer promised to bring back lost youthfulness with its litho print ad from 1862. But hair dye wasn't just about covering up gray strands; it was also used creatively. Camouflage became popular through color lithographs that showcased unique patterns on hairstyles. And who can forget Halls Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer? It promised to restore gray hair to its original color using natural ingredients. Even Maes Millinery Shop recognized the importance of vibrant hair when they displayed stands filled with spools of thread and needles alongside their fashionable hats in 1941-1994. Fast forward to punk culture in 1986 - mohawks became synonymous with rebellion and individuality. Punks embraced wild colors and daring styles that challenged societal norms.
