Based on a book written by Ellen Byerrum (Crimes of Fashion), Killer Hair (also known as Crimes of Fashion: Killer Hair) is a television film that aired on the Lifetime Movie Network in 2009. The storyline follows a fashion journalist, Lacey Smithsonian, as she investigates the discovery of a dead body inside her friend's Washington, DC hair salon.
The story begins with the discovery of an emerging fashion stylist's dead body. Angie Woods, a stylist recognized for succeeding with difficult rejuvenation jobs, is found dead with a razor in her hand. Investigators suggest that Woods committed suicide because of the unattractive hairstyle she was wearing. Smithsonian (Maggie Lawson), a fashion columnist and amateur private investigator, is an of Woods and suspects something more sinister; she believes that a notable client of Woods, a congressional staffer with a web site, is somehow implicated. Detective Vic Donovan (Victor Webster) is assigned to the case. This causes complications due to his prior romantic affair with Smithsonian.
A sequel based on another book by Byerrum, Hostile Makeover, was televised seven days after this film, on June 28, 2009.
The film was released on DVD in various countries and an iTunes version was available exclusively in the United States.
