Meanings
-
All the hair that covers the scalp of a person (excludes the beard and moustache)
There is nothing that so adds to the charm of an individual as a good head of hair. The complexion and the features may be perfect, but if the hair is thin and harsh they all pass for little. On the other hand, magnificent locks will atone for other deficiencies.
1876, Eliza Bisbee Duffey, Our Behaviour: A Manual of Etiquette and Dress of the Best American Society, Philadelphia:
