Hair Stamp Duty was introduced in 1795 at the annual rate of 1 guinea [£1 1s] and abolished in 1869. Initially the tax was to pay for the war against France, raising £200,000 in its first year. It was partly responsible for the decline in use of hair powder; by 1869 the amount raised had fallen to £1,000.
