Liverpool ‘everyday style queens’ get their own exhibition

From mop tops to curly blows, Liverpool’s love of all things hair is the focus of a new photographic display in the city.

Curly Blows, Cuts and Curlers reflects on the social and cultural impact of local identity and how salons and barbers are vital in a city “that isn’t afraid to glow up”.

Featuring work by local photographers Alex Hurst and Abdullah Badwi, along with Paul Trevor and the Caravan Gallery, the display “celebrates everyday style queens who epitomise the power of hair”.

Kay Jones, curator at Museum of Liverpool, said the exhibition tells “a multitude of stories about hair, identity, and the city”.
