I have it on the shelf, but it is in the file to discard. Does anyone not know about the R.Courson book I mentioned earlier. He covers hair styles from almost pre-history through most of the twentieth Century. This volume is about 3" thick; the drawings are based on statuary of the ancients through gleanings from pictorial evidences of art and photography. All of the pic's are black and white line renderings of hair style from any of the periods. And it carries a fairly comprehensive bibliography as well as interpretive descriptions .
