Lock Of John Lennon’s Hair Sold At Dallas Auction

The Beatles have had a major impact on the history of music. Recently a piece of John Lennon’s hair that was snipped off in 1966 while he was preparing for a film role has sold for $35,000 at a Dallas auction. The director of the Dallas-based Heritage Auctions Garry Shrum said that the four-inch 50-year-old lock of hair is the “largest lock of John Lennon’s hair ever offered at auction.” This lock of hair was cut by a German hairdresser named Klaus Baruck while John Lennon was filming How I Won the War. Mr. Baruck kept the lock of hair after trimming it off of the famous musician. The lock of hair was purchased by British art collector Paul Fraser.
