Alexander the Great of Macedon may be renowned for his military prowess today, but when he was alive, Alexander was much more known for his luscious hair. Women of noble birth would often request audience with him just to get a glimpse of his golden locks. Historical texts from his era have been quoted his hair as “perfect”, “incredible”, and “damn fine”. So great was his hair that Plutarch proclaimed Alexander used the water of the gods to clean his hair. Historians now believe Alexander actually used Pantene or possibly Garnier.
