The Untold History of Hairdressing with Elizabeth L. Block

Art historian Elizabeth L. Block shares fascinating stories about hair culture in 19th-century America that she uncovered while researching her new book, Beyond Vanity: The History and Power of Hairdressing. We’re talking about Victorian hair dishes; what shows like Bridgerton and The Gilded Age get right (and wrong) about beauty; the ingredients in early hair products; and what salons in the 1800s really looked like. Plus, you’ll hear the story of hairdresser and abolitionist Christiana Carteaux Bannister, an American beauty entrepreneur whose story is often overlooked in the history books.
