A Dash of History

Cattle were not the only attraction at ‘Barnet Fair’, from which Cockney Londoners took their slang for ‘hair’. The so-called ‘Poor Man’s Market’ had a rough and tumble side, drawing crowds with horse racing and boxing. In 1787, none less than George, the Prince of Wales, was seen ringside, watching Jewish boxer Mendoza take on the notorious Bath Butcher. Nothing like a good scrap, what? Behold the gentleman pugilist! Quick with his fists, quicker with his comb. Captain Fawcett’s Hair Comb - remain unruffled no matter what blows may come.

*Victorian Cockney rhyming slang for hair, ‘Barnet Fair’ was once the largest livestock market in England, established by Royal Charter in 1588 during the reign of Good Queen Bess.

How to use

Move the comb gently downwards from the roots the ends of your hair. Use to smarten up tousled hair after removing one’s hat or blowing in from a windy day. When conditioning, or otherwise caring for your hair with a nourishing treatment, combing will help distribute your chosen product evenly.
