And in my case, so is hair coloring. Yep, that medium brown hair is really snow white and has been for 30 years. The only problem now is I'm running out of hair so I'll loose the hair coloring deduction.
A few years ago I purchased a book "Tax Loopholes--All The Law Allows" from Little Black Books. It quotes every legal tax deduction, chapter and verse, plus provides cases where it may have been challenged and gives you the court, case number, ruling, presiding judge and tax code. It's a wonderful tool for anyone that is self employed, which I have been since 1975.

Thanks Gary! I'm glad someone else takes that deduction other than me.
I guess now you (and I) will have to deduct hair replacement when the dye deduction runs out.
I tried using hair dye (just for men) for about 6 months and I hated it. In my case, it just looked very unnatural. I should probably dye it platinum blond and get a nose ring to make me look more current.
