We've Got a Zine for That: Hair

Each month we draw attention to the depth and breadth of our zine collections by highlighting a topic represented in our holdings. The theme for January 2024 is…HAIR.

We have zines on hair removal, braids, "Hairdressing of African Americans," body hair, quarantine, and other topics galore.
