About Tressed Out

There's more to hair than meets the eye. Tressed Out covers the fascinating, shocking and surprising stories behind the hair industry: the inventions, the scandals, the icons and the stylists nobody remembers.

Every story is told by a hairdresser who has spent years behind the chair, from the big perms of the 80s to today.

What we cover

Hair history, from the styles that changed the world to the products everyone's mum had in the bathroom. Hair industry scandals, from class actions to the claims on the bottle. And plenty of nostalgia for anyone who remembers the crimper, the can of hairspray and the home perm.

How we work

Every story is researched from public records, court documents and published reporting. Each written story on this site lists its sources so you can check them yourself.
