The fact that barbering is a profession ne- cessitates this Standardized Textbook, that the student may not only acquire a practical knowl- edge, but that he may learn the Theoretical, Ethical, Legal and Scientific principles or ele- ments of the profession in order to be skilled professional practitioners. The Kansas Supreme Court, in the 63rd Kansas 471, July 6, 1901, held that barbering is a professional service. Among other things the court said: ''Like the surgeon and dentist, when the barber moves he attracts to himself those having confidence in his ability, and the greater his professional skill the more difficult it is to alienate from him those to whom his services have given satisfaction."

A. B. MOLER Chicago, Illinois Secretary -Treasurer, Standard- ized Barber Schools Association A. B. Moler bears the distinc- tion of being the founder of the first barber school in the world. His schools constantly keep abreast of the latest develop ments applicable to the profes- sion. DR. EDGAR B. WILSON, D. C., Ph. C. The barber profession owes much to Dr. Wilson for the thorough knowledge of the human anatomy and the proper manipulation of the muscles and nervous system which he has been so instrumental in spread- ing throughout the profession. He is a Doctor of Chiropractic, thus possessing an anatomical under- standing that proved of inestimable value while as- sisting the National Educational Council in promot- ing its standardized barber school curriculum and program. Dr. Wilson is no stranger to the barber profession, as he served therein for 25 years before taking his place in the chiropractic field, and to him must be given the credit for the scientific material contained in this textbook. Origin of Standardized Barber Schools THE Associated Master Barbers of America, in convention assembled at Des Moines, Iowa, November, 1926, adopted a resolution creating a Na- ( tional Educational Council of three members, with instructions to investigate and determine the methods used by other professions in controlling their educational institutions. C. B. Hypes of Topeka, Kan., C. N. Good of Elgin, 111., and F. H. Tramp of Memphis, Tenn., were elected as members of the Educational Council. The Council organized by selecting C. B. Hypes as Chairman, C. N. Good as Vice-Chairman, and F. H. Tramp as Secretary. This Council made its investigations and submitted its report to the Execu- tive Board on January 16, 1927, and the two foregoing pages contain the program proposed by the Council and approved by the Executive Board. The National Barber Schools Association, Inc., was formed in Cleveland. Ohio, September 18, 1922. J. B. Riggs of Akron. Ohio, is President, and A. B. Moler of Chicago, 111., is Secretary. This Association meets annually. Reproduction of Certificate Issued by National Educational Council to Standardized Barber Schools At a meeting of the National Barber Schools Association of America, held in the Stevens Hotel, Chicago, October 31 and November 1, 2 and 3. 1927, 42 of the leading barber schools of the country signed the Council's contract making the standardized school program a reality. Other schools have since signed the contract until the number is well over half a hundred. For a student to receive a diploma signed and sealed by the National Educational Council it is necessary that he complete the full six-month course in a standardized barber school, and that he then work under an approved Master Barber as an apprentice for 18 months. These regulations are not for the purpose of penalizing or discouraging barber students but to assure them that they will receive adequate and proper instruction and train- ing to make them efficient and professional practitioners. Every student in a standardized barber school should insist upon the school complying with all of the Council requirements as they may affect his education. National Educational Council Associated Master Barbers of America c. B. HYPES Topeka, Kansas Chairman Mr. Hypes is an advanced thinker and an educational enthusiast, and is responsible for much of the program of the National Educational Council. He was elected chair- man of the Council at Des Moines in 1926. F. H. TRAMP Memphis, Tennessee Secretary Mr. Tramp was elected to the Educa- tional Council in 1926, was made secretary of the body, and was re-elected at the De- troit convention. C. N. GOOD Elgin, Illinois Vice-Chairman Mr. Good has always been a consistent advocate of higher education, was elected to the Educational Council at Des Moines in 1926, and re-elected at the Detroit cor vention in 1927.

  • Gender and Hair Politics: an African Philosophical Analysis
    Gender and Hair Politics: An African Philosophical Analysis by Sharon Adetutu Omotoso, PhD [email protected] Institute of African Studies University of Ibadan, Nigeria ABSTRACT One wonders if there is anything called philosophy of hair. It may be argued in some philosophy quarters, that to endorse any philosophy of hair is to strip philosophy of its intellectual nature, relegating it into realms of trivialities. While anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists and scholars in the sciences have attempted discussing hair issues, philosophers have paid minimal attention based largely on a claim that there are more important life issues to philosophize. While ‘head’ (ori in Yoruba language) as a concept in African Philosophy has been widely theorized, very little work has been done on hair as a part of the head. Consequently, this paper argues that the importance of hair in the development of social constructs of the body puts forth the need for a gendered study of its philosophy and politics. Politics of hair in Africa is interesting and highly debatable yet overlooked by existing literatures. Using methods of critical analysis, reflective argumentation, deconstruction and reconstruction to carefully consider social, economic, cultural and religious dimensions in the politics of hair among men and women, this work draws out the implications for Africa’s holistic development. Dr Sharon Adetutu OMOTOSO is currently with the Gender Studies Program at the Institute of African Studies, University of Ibadan, Nigeria where she coordinates the Women’s Research and Documentation Centre (WORDOC). She is a a Chartered Mediator & Conciliator, Senior Research Fellow Institut Français de Recherche en Afrique (IFRA) and Research Fellow (Gender/Women Issues) of the Ibadan School of Government and Public Policy (ISGPP).

  • “Hair” They Are: the Ideologies of Black Hair
    THE YORK REVIEW, 9.1 (Spring 2013) “Hair” They Are: The Ideologies of Black Hair Tiffany Thomas woman’s hair is said to be her crowning glory and man- Aifestation of her femininity. Hair is considered a key indicator of a woman’s health and beauty. The Western standard of beauty defines beautiful hair as that which is long and prefer- ably straight. Having such a standard creates a hair hierarchy, with long straight hair on the top of the hair pyramid and Afri- can American hair on the bottom. A black woman’s hair is tradi- tionally dry, tightly coiled or curled. In order to attain the West- ern standard of beauty, the majority of African American women chemically straighten or “relax” their hair. This notion is embed- ded in media such as Sophisticate’s Black Hair Styles and Care Guide and other magazines featuring black women with straightened hair. However, more recently, there has been an increase in the number of black women returning to their natural hair texture; that is, they are no longer chemically straightening their hair (Healy, 2011). The decision to return to the natural texture of one’s hair is termed “going natural.” The media has noticed black women’s sudden movement toward natural hair and has begun to include more natural-haired African Americans in advertisements. Some reasons that black women decide to go natural are: to follow a healthier lifestyle, to explore curiosity about their natural texture, to support their daughters’ hair, and to save the time and energy they spend using relaxers.

    A FEMINIST CULTURAL STUDY OF IDENTITY, HAIR LOSS, AND CHEMOTHERAPY by Céline Guillerm A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida December 2015 Copyright 2015 by Céline Guillerm ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The seed of this dissertation was planted during my first year enrolled as a doctoral student, when I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The following year, I met Dr. Scodari when I took her course in “Feminist Cultural Studies.” Her class was truly a revelation and she became my mentor. Therefore, I would like to express my sincere and deepest gratitude to Dr. Scodari for her expert guidance and support throughout my research. I am forever grateful for her patience and encouragement, and for always being available. I also would like to thank Dr. Munson and Dr. Blattner for serving on my committee. Thank you for believing in me and encouraging me all these years. Finally, I would like to thank my parents, my sisters, my nieces and my nephew, my grandmother, my uncle, and my dear friends for their love and support. I love you. iv ABSTRACT Author: Céline Guillerm Title: A Feminist Cultural Study of Identity, Hair Loss, and Chemotherapy Institution: Florida Atlantic University Dissertation Advisor: Dr. Christine Scodari Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Year: 2015 The main aim of this dissertation is to discuss the way women negotiate the cultural meaning of hair loss, alopecia, as a result of undergoing chemotherapy, and to understand, accordingly, how cancer’s cultural effects regarding women can be deeply different from those of men.

  • Good Hair Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com Good Hair Discussion Guide Director: Jeff Stilson Year: 2009 Time: 96 min You might know this director from: GOOD HAIR is Jeff Stilson’s first feature-length documentary film. FILM SUMMARY GOOD HAIR was inspired by Chris Rock’s three-year-old daughter, who asked, “Daddy, how come I don’t have good hair?” A devoted father of two young girls, Chris Rock tells his daughters they are beautiful every day, but when he heard this question he wanted to examine the cultural influences and reasons behind his daughter’s heart-breaking question. The result is a film that explores the complicated politics and aesthetics of African American hair, including the perceptions of “relaxed” versus “natural” hair. From beauty salons to scientific laboratories, Chris Rock’s sharp-witted style tackles a complicated subject with humor and grace. He interviews multiple African American celebrities including Maya Angelou, Reverend Al Sharpton, Salt-n-Pepa, Eve, Raven Symone, Nia Long, and Ice-T about their hair. He also interviews a chemist who explains the dangerous sodium hydroxide used in many relaxers, as well as an Indian facility owner who processes Indian hair for the African American hair industry in the U.S. Fascinating and hilarious, GOOD HAIR culminates in the Bronner Brothers International Hair Show, arguably the biggest event in the African American hair care industry. It’s a trade show with theatrical competitions and demonstrations of new products and techniques. But more than that, it’s a celebration of beauty and style and creative self-expression. Discussion Guide Good Hair 1 www.influencefilmclub.com FILM THEMES Instead of taking a polemic approach to its delicate subject, GOOD HAIR allows many different people to weigh in, sharing their own stories and opinions on societal perceptions of African American hair.

  • Kobena Mercer in Black Hair/Style Politics
    new formations NUMBER 3 WINTER 1987 Kobena Mercer BLACK HAIR/STYLE POLITICS Some time ago Michael Jackson's hair caught fire when he was filming a television commercial. Perhaps the incident became newsworthy because it brought together two seemingly opposed news-values: fame and misfortune. But judging by the way it was reported in one black community newspaper, The Black Voice, Michael's unhappy accident took on a deeper significance for a cultural politics of beauty, style and fashion. In its feature article, 'Are we proud to be black?', beauty pageants, skin-bleaching cosmetics and the curly-perm hair-style epitomized by Jackson's image were interpreted as equivalent signs of a 'negative' black aesthetic. All three were roundly condemned for negating the 'natural' beauty of blackness and were seen as identical expressions of subjective enslavement to Eurocentric definitions of beauty, thus indicative of an 'inferiority complex'.1 The question of how ideologies of 'the beautiful' have been defined by, for and - for most of the time - against black people remains crucially important. But at the same time I want to take issue with the widespread argument that, because it involves straightening, the curly-perm hair-style represents either a wretched imitation of white people's hair or, what amounts to the same thing, a diseased state of black consciousness. I have a feeling that the equation between the curly-perm and skin-bleaching cremes is made to emphasize the potential health risk sometimes associated with the chemical contents of hair-straightening products. By exaggerating this marginal risk, a moral grounding is constructed for judgements which are then extrapolated to assumptions about mental health or illness.

Das angepriesene Produkt versprach, „bad hair good, short hair long, harsh hair soft and curly crisped hair straight“ zu machen.1 In derselben Ausgabe der Gazette verurteilte ein anonymer Autor derartige Haar- pflegemittel und riet seinen afroamerikanischen MitbürgerInnen, diesen „Humbug“ zu ignorieren und ebensolche Kosmetika zu boy- kottieren. Er nahm damit einen Standpunkt ein, der erst ein gutes halbes Jahrhundert später zum politischen Credo der Black Power- Be-wegung werden sollte, nachdem Black Panther Stokely Carmi- chael erklärt hatte: „We have to stop being ashamed of being black.
