The green hair episode is an often repeated legend of the life of Charles Baudelaire. It is first reported by Champfleury in his Souvenirs.
In the words of James Huneker:
- The joke of the green hair has been disposed of by Crépet[1]. Baudelaire's hair thinning after an illness, he had his head shaved and painted with salve of a green hue, hoping thereby to escape baldness.
