Parisian women wanted the hair color of a horse

The Karabakh horse is an equine breed that was presented to the European public during the 1867 Paris World's Fair. A stallion named Khan won a silver medal there thanks to the breeding of Khourchidbanou Natavan. According to Azerbaijani sources, the event sparked such enthusiasm that women asked in Parisian hair salons to wear the same coat shade as the animal.
