Reviews
“Drawing upon cultural and social theory, and media analysis, this book offers a highly engaging and thought-provoking analysis of the unique social, cultural, and material dimensions of the ponytail and the multiple meanings and (re)interpretations of this iconic hairstyle. You will never look at the ponytail in the same way again!” (Holly Thorpe, Professor, University of Waikato, New Zealand)
