Heads and Tales
" Hair is really a means of communication," says dermatologist Dr David Fenton. "It no longer serves any vital function." This programme explores how our crowning glory, or lack of it, can prove a focus for fears and obsessions that would come as a shock to the average high-street barber.
Alex Campbell began to lose his hair at the age of 20. His solution, a hairpiece that must be removed and re-attached every six weeks, is painful and expensive, but "it's worth it". Meanwhile Bikram Singh is growing his in accordance with his Sikh religion, and has sadly discovered that this has intensified racist reactions. And while Rozmine Merchant is a Muslim who covers her hair,
Sarah Hannon earns her living from it in advertisments for Timotei shampoo.
Director Geoff Dunlop ; Series editor Paul Watson A Touch production for BBCtv
