Hairstyles
It is said that Egyptian civilization was the first to
show a deep interest in hair. Back then,
like today, hairstyles were a way to express their
individuality, both in life and in the grave. And they did not only have
an aesthetic function but also practical. But it was also
the hygiene factor in play. So, they used wigs, extensions
and even resorted to natural dyes to achieve a color
equal. By the painting of the tombs and the statues, the
archaeologists claim that the ancient Egyptians were lovers of
the braids. They regarded hair as a form of
self-expression, which is why they wore elaborate hairstyles. One of
the most iconic, popular thanks to Cleopatra, is this: a series of braids in the cape

volume. They even used extensions. All these accessories were made in
specialized workshops, with human hair and some palm fiber fillings

Makeup
Various findings have led to believe that the Egyptian civilization was home to
excellence in cosmetics. Unlike the Sumerians, the Egyptians had a great
respect for cosmetic practices, and they gave makeup a deep meaning
religious, so much that they contemplated two deities involved in cosmetics, one was
Bes, protector of cosmetics and the other was Thot,
God of wisdom who presided over the preparation of
perfumes and cosmetics. Makeup, therefore, does not

uses and customs of earthly life and among the various objects found in the tombs
they include, among others, chests containing creams, lipsticks, eyeshadows,

Young and single

• In ancient China, young women


they wore their hair loose or in a simple style
to prove that they were not married. The
maids traditionally styled their hair with
braids until they turned 15, when
they were going through a welcoming ceremony to the
adulthood called ji-li ( ), or Ceremony of
Hold the Hair. During the ritual, it was washed

Confucians in ancient China believed that hair is a gift from the
parents and should be treated with great respect. Both for men and for
women, haircuts were considered a severe violation of the
filial devotion, and it was only done in special circumstances. For example, you could
offer a lock of your hair as a promise to your beloved, or shave your head

20th Century

Hairstyles
From 1901 to the year 2000, the changes and transformation of customs
they were so great that they covered almost all possibilities: from elegance
Victorian and classic from the beginning of the century, to the carefree long hair of
the hippies in the '60s, up to all imaginable hairstyle styles: punk, rasta,
hippie, etc. The industrial and technological advances, unique in History for their
speed and development were reflected in different hairstyles throughout
of the century. But, above all, it is important to highlight that during the 20th century - and from there
forward-, those who impose fashion, that is, the symbols of "fashion" will no longer be
more the princes or the nobility, the aristocracy. The new phenomenon of the cinematograph,
first the silent cinema and then the talking one, will create, in its massive penetration and
popular, new models: the film artists. They will be the ones who dictate the
trends from now on; people will imitate them in their hairstyles, their clothing.
and even their manners.

The investment of the permanent


• At the beginning of the century, women's hair
they still used relatively long ones, and they
they waved to achieve a better appearance. The
the waving method was devised by Marcel
Grate, with a hot tongs that only served
for long hair. As the hair
they started using shorter ones, a new method

first to develop a corrugating system
the permanent hairstylist and hairdresser was German
Karl Nessler (later Charles Nestle), in 1905.
He patented the system in Germany in 1906, which
consisted of a complex of rollers in which
she would curl her hair, connected to a machine that heated them up through
of an electric resistance. The rollers were kept away from the scalp
by a system of counterweights. First, sodium hydroxide (soda
caustic) and then it was heated. The process took about 6 hours. Nessler
he first tested the method in Paris on a woman, Katharina Laible, to whom he
burned all her hair and part of her scalp twice. Then she got married to

patent. Then he opened beauty salons in New

independent, more practical, with more freedom of movement. This style is
called the

The style had numerous variations: with straight hair, or also wavy, and with
different types of cuts.
The first hair dryers and perm machines

The decade of 1920-1930 had two technological contributions regarding hair: the
development of the first portable hair dryer and improvements in machines

• The first portable hair dryers were
heavy, weighing about 1 kg., made of steel
and five, and they emitted little current: only about 100
watts, which made it necessary to need a lot
time for drying. They were, moreover, dangerous.
due to the risk of electrocution when entering
contact with water. Over time and
until today, they would be evolving until
become more powerful and secure. Currently First AEG hair dryer,
they have a sensor that automatically interrupts the electrical circuit
when it detects an overload, and has a heat emission of 2000 watts.

• The perm machines were improved in this decade by the Swiss.


Eugene Suter and the Spaniard Isidoro Calvete. They developed a tubular system.
in which two were inserted
coils inside a tube of
aluminum. The lock of hair
rolled inside the tube in
spiral, and this allowed that the
hair near the root, thicker,
would receive more heat than that of the
point. Then there were variations and
improvements in the system, such as the one of Machine for

check Josef Mayer in 1924, and the
African American Marjorie Joyner in 1928, who patented a machine in which
the hair was rolled into cylinders. Calvete's company, ICall, was created in 1934 a
system in which the tubes were disconnected from the current when applied,
The heat was decreasing until the end of the operation. In 1938, Arnold F.

the award was for a permanent made with an ICall

Depression that affected the economy of the entire world in 1929, the styles
feminines will be somewhat more natural, although always with a tendency towards
permanents. The hair will be worn longer, up to the neck, and they will start
to make platinum blondes fashionable, like Jean Harlow.

• After World War II (1939-1945), there


they produce very important sociological changes,
based on the unprecedented experience so far of the
explosion of the nuclear bombs in Hiroshima and
Nagasaki. The philosophy
existentialist begins to take
importance; a trend that
marks the absurd of a
existence that can disappear at any moment
moment, a social feeling of general helplessness and
of loss of estimation of moral values
established. The manifestations of existentialism are
and in literature and art in general. And, of course, they transfer to the
fashion and customs, which are always the best expression of thought
social. In France, Juliette Greco and other artists mark a new style of
dressing and styling hair; in the 'caves' of London, the 'beatnik' music groups
they will also present a new style of discontent: longer hair,
hairstyles with bangs, sideburns.

of discontent with the thoroughness of the generations

his films East of Paradise
and Rebel Without a Cause will make a style fashionable that
thousands of young people from that time will repeat.
then, other hair will become famous: for
example, that of Marilyn Monroe, the undisputed diva
from the 50s. At that time, Gina Lollobrigida is The
Most beautiful woman in the world, like the title of her

"forbidden to forbid" and "imagination to power", thousands of
young people around the world are protesting
against the system of received values. The styles of
hair and clothing become bolder, more

"peace and love" is the symbol of their philosophy. Their styles

they end up being used even by those who do not share
its principles. Around 1968, an English model marks
another feminine style: Twiggy, with her short hair and her
stylized figure. In 1967, the first opera is presented.

clearly shows all hippie hairstyles and

generalized molds up to that

each individual adapted their

They should use it. The Beatles

very long and bushy beards.
• During the '70s, the freedom to wear long hair or however it looks best to the
the personality of each one is practically total. The phenomenon of music

Rastafari religion. Bo Derek, in her movie '10', had a similar style, with her
blonde hair. In general, during this decade, men wore long hair, with
wide sideburns, in some cases beards, and women with very long hair,
or very structured permanents, in the shape of a helmet. Farrah Fawcett also

with short, shaved hair, who was born in the late 1960s among the class
London worker, as a reaction against long hair of
the hippies. Then the movement became politicized, primarily towards the right and
neo-Nazism, and finally the hairstyle became fashionable among those who
I would like to use it. The punk subculture emerged around the mid-1970s and
it expanded more strongly in the '80s. It was a reactionary subculture against the
values of society, with a tendency towards leftism and liberalism in politics,
with anti-fashion, anti-capitalist, anti-racist, anti-militarist values,
anarchists and vegetarians. The punk look tends to impress with abundance
tattoos, and a dramatic use of clothing, jewelry, and hairstyles, among which
the most well-known is the hair completely shaved on the nape and on the sides and the
hair raised in a mohawk style. The English player David Beckham

they live their strongest presence and revival, they will be influenced in their appearances
by the punk style. Starting from the 1980s, all these urban styles
