Hair India; A guide to the Bizarre Beards and Magnificent Moustaches of Hindustan. Of Mice, Men & Muttonchops. Do you know your Momo-Moochie from your Wacky Ladakhi; ever seen a Louisiana Lip Leech taking tea with a Praying Mantis; embarrassed when dinner party conversation turns to the taxonomy of the hybrid soup strainer? What exactly is an Asiatic Ball-Buffer? We understand your predicament. Fortunately with this photographic guidebook to Indian pogonolgy you'll no longer be wooly about your Walruses, fuzzy about your French Forks. Follow us then on a journey from hirsute Himalaya hinterlands to the follicularly festooned festivals of Rajasthan; from the beard bazars of Old Delhi to Mysore's moustache weightlifting scene; from record-breakers in rural Punjab to pachydermal protrusions of deepest Bihar. Sp preen your Pipe-Cleaner, trim the old Tulip Vase and grease that Great Crested Goatee for a voyage of discovery of hair raising proportions!
