The Law
Rooted in old coverture laws where a married woman's property and person were legally controlled by her husband, this archaic interpretation considered a wife's hair to be her husband's property. While completely unenforceable and unconstitutional today, it stands as a wild reminder of 19th-century marital legal frameworks. Proceed to the salon with caution.
