| Annotation | The Hair and Care project is being funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the University of Manchester. It explores the importance of appearance in the everyday lives of people with dementia. The authors describe early impressions from their fieldwork, and present two case studies that demonstrate good practice in appearance-related work in health and social care settings: Caring Cuts, a mobile hairdressing service in Hertfordshire; and a collaboration between Newham University Hospital and the Hair and Beauty Department at Epping Forest College in providing services to people who would otherwise be socially isolated. The project seeks further examples of good practice and to build networks of carers, hairdressers and service users (see: http://thehairandcareproject.com/). (RH). |
