The history of hair and hair styling


The history of hair and hair styling

Twisty, braided or curly, styled straight or wavy, hair has been cut and styled every day, since centuries. Hair styles for men and women have been in existence since the medieval period and the Roman era. Paris, the mecca of fashion and style, had and still has its own unique fashion dictionary that the world chooses to follow. The ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece, China, Rome, America, Africa, and Japan, had their own exclusive hair styles.

Traditional Japanese hairstyles make use of jeweled combs and beautiful,

Between the 16th and 19th centuries, the hairstyles of women became more elaborate and hair began to be decorated with ornaments such as ostrich plumes, flowers, ropes of pearls, ribbons, jewels, and delicate hand-crafted objects. It was sometime in the mid-18th century that the pouf became the style of choice for most wealthy women. During this time, the hair styles of men also evolved. Japanese men began to cut their hair in zangiri or jangiri styles. Slowly and steadily, Japanese women began to adopt Western styles too.   
 

20th century hair styles


During this time, the high bouffant and the beehive styles became very popular. The 1950s were the age of rock and roll and hair styles of both men and women were heavily influenced by the culture of pop and Elvis Presley. Hair began to be worn shorter and shorter in high ponytails. Some hairstyles were also layered cuts with short-cropped bangs. Gorgeous hairstyles began to be paired with funky accessories like big hoop earrings and bows. With girls adoring the styles of Audrey Hepburn and Gina Lollobrigida, the pixie hair cut became the rage. In America, popular haircuts of that era were most often inspired by teen idols, music, and Hollywood. The 1960s saw hairstyles becoming more elegant and graceful, and above all, natural. The male hairstyles of this era were influenced by the Beatles.

Modern hair styles





Modern hair styles range from creative and curly tresses to sleek, shiny and straight hair. Hair is either permed, or straightened using a flat iron. Bangs are a rage these days and can give you a sexy and classy look. Even today, women sport glittery ornaments on their hair. Wedding hairstyles have become more elaborate and complicated, yet they can be magnificent.



Hairstyle processes


Hair dressing includes various processes such as cutting, trimming, combing, brushing, drying, braiding, curling, and ironing. 

The hair and hair styling industry is a major industry today, generating employment for salons, spas, magazines, advertisers, and cosmetology professionals.

Time Master PRO works as the ultrasound waves cause a vibration of the surrounding skin tissues, known as "cascade of inter-cellular communication." It strengthens and lifts. As you move the device your skin will feel tighter, almost immediately.  As you pass the treated area, and throughout this process, oxygen to the cells increases and removes wastes in the pores. The  non-thermal (no heat)  action of ultrasound is beneficial because of the rapid oscillation of tissue promotes movement between inner and outer cells and increases fibrobl

Facemaster vs. NuFace vs. Ultra Renew Plus (Truth in Aging) -- UPDATED

OK, I've been meaning to do this post for awhile. As an avid "anti-aging" skincare advocate (and licensed esthetician), I am pretty good at figuring out what's what with skincare and various products. But when it comes to home devices, it's hard to tell until you actually use it. I've used Facemaster for several years (6+), NuFace for about 5+ and Ultra Renew Plus for a few months. I feel equipped to give an unbiased review. Ready? Facemaster, the home lifting/anti-aging device by Suzanne Somers: I still use the two-prong device and haven't updated to the newer one-hand device, but all in all, this machine isn't bad. I used for several years and found that when used weekly, I got pretty decent results. Now, here's the caveat: You need some sort of conductive serum (Ms. Somers has one to use with it). I used hers as well as others (copper serums, aloe vera, etc.). The bottom line: Use something without oil. Aloe vera seems to work fine, bu

The Battle Between CLAREBLEND MINI and NuFace (Outcome Results) Which is the better home microcurrent machine?

HOW THE MINI BEATS NuFACE 1. It's cheaper 2. Nodes are smaller 3. More effective (in my opinion) OK, let's talk about why the MINI beats the NuFace. First, it's cheaper. The regular NuFace costs several hundreds of dollars. Even the "mini" version is $350++. The MINI is just $359 But not for you, oh dear subscriber. For you, it's just $299 But, you knew that already, right? SECOND: The nodes are smaller and fit oh-so-well under the lips, eyes and cheekbones on the MINI. the NuFace nodes are rather large and you have to buy more attachments (!!) to make them fit well under the lips and eyes. I'm not sure what the reasoning is for this, but it seems like just an overall firming/toning device vs. a selective area device. I prefer the latter. THIRD: My MINI and my NuFace work pretty consistently to get a firmer, toned look fairly quickly. However... With the Mini, I get no zaps, pain or sting. NADA. NONE. ZILCH. The NuFace will zap you good if you don'
