A few wise words on hair, thinning hair and no hair:

• If my hair gets any frizzier, I’ll shave it to the scalp. Or light it on fire. Whichever is easier.

Victoria Scott

• Custom is second nature. Be accustomed to a bald head, sufficiently accustomed, and hair on it would seem monstrous.

Isaac Asimov

• If I want to knock a story off the front page, I just change my hairstyle.

Hillary Rodham Clinton

• Interviewer: So Frank, you have long hair. Does that make you a woman?

Frank Zappa: You have a wooden leg. Does that make you a table?

Frank Zappa

• A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.

Coco Chanel

• It seemed to be a law of society that hair must be parted and brushed.

Kate Chopin

• Pull the hair on my head the wrong way, and I would be on my knees begging for mercy. I have very sensitive follicles.

Benedict Cumberbatch

• There’s a reason why forty, fifty, and sixty don’t look the way they used to, and it’s not because of feminism, or better living through exercise. It’s because of hair dye. In the 1950’s only 7 per cent of American women dyed their hair; today there are parts of Manhattan and Los Angeles where there are no gray-haired women at all.

Nora Ephron

• A few locks of dry white hair clung to his scalp, like wild flowers fighting for life on a bare rock.

Raymond Chandler

• I was nineteen and I put a bowl on and I said, Cut around! Because it was not the fashion at the time when I did that hairdo - and I kept it all my life!

Agnes Varda

• Gorgeous hair is the best revenge.

Ivana Trump
