Just to add a bit of musical note.

The history of hair-style fashions has been the inspiration for several songs, and one has been revealed in the recent re-discovery of a Victorian news-report concerning a near public riot.

Apparently a gentleman had arrived in the north-west of England purporting to be from Paris and had set up a new salon. He was advertising a new process for creating a permanent wave hair-style. The method then current to produce the permanent wave was lengthy, involved several washes of the hair at different temperatures, the theory being that the hair was alternately made supple and brittle, and finishing with a prolonged brushing using an elaborately shaped brush made from specially prepared sheep's wool.
The new process dispensed with most of this elaborate procedure and used a small amount of crushed ice shaken onto the head to prepare the hair, followed by the use of a normal comb to put the hair into the desired position.
The news report concerned an excited mob of potential customers who had gathered outside the new salon chanting "Comb, comb, comb and shake ice at me. Down with the old woollen brush".
