The Tale of the Seven Sutherland Sisters and Their 37 Feet of Hair

In the late 19th century, Sarah, Victoria, Isabella, Grace, Naomi, Dora, and Mary Sutherland, the Seven Sutherland Sisters, sang and played instruments—but no one really cared about that. No, the crowd came to ogle their magical, mythical, uber-feminine hair.  Letting down one’s long hair in public at that time was taboo… so when seven women did it onstage, it was the show to see.  Collector’s Weekly documents the rise and ultimate fall of the once popular “girl group.”  It’s a lengthy read, but it will definitely make your hair stand on end.
