  • “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.

  • Depilation Services
    4 Depilation Services We have already studied about hair discolouration technique, such as ‘bleaching’. In this Unit, we will study about two techniques of removing unwanted hair. The two techniques that are commonly used to remove unwanted hair are waxing and threading. TYPES OF HAIR A Beauty Therapist, providing treatment such as ‘waxing’ and ‘threading’, must understand the basic anatomy and physiology of hair. The different types of hair are as follows: • Scalp hair • Eyelashes • Body hair • Underarm and pubic hair Scalp hair: It acts as heat insulator and protects the head. Eyelashes: This is the hair present on the eyelashes. It prevents dust particles from entering the eye. Body hair: Present all over the body, it acts as heat insulator. Underarm and pubic hair: It provides cushion against friction caused by movement. HAIR GROWTH CYCLE On an average, hair grows 1.25 cm (½ inch) per month. It is estimated that we lose 80–100 hair per day on an average. A single strand of hair does not grow continuously throughout life. The stages of the life cycle of hair are as follows: • Anagen • Catagen • Telogen • Exogen Hair to fall out Dermal papilla New hair Anagen Catagen Telogen Return to anagen Early anagen Fig. 4.1: Hair growth cycle Anagen During this stage, the bulb regenerates, and then, produces a hair strand. This is the stage during which the hair follicle is active and the hair grows continuously. The stage lasts for 2–7 years. New hair in the early anagen stage grows faster than the old hair. The average growth being 1.25 cm per month.

  • 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.

IT'S NOT JUST HAIR: HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR AN EMERGING TECHNOLOGY DEBORAH PERGAMENT* INTRODUCTION Nothing is more indicative of the importance currently being attached to hair growth by the general populace than the barrage of cases reaching the courts evidencing the attempt by one segment of society to control the plumage of another. -Justice William 0. Douglas Justice Douglas wrote those lines twenty-five years ago during a time when the nation and the court were examining the right of the state to control the appearance and actions of individuals purposefully attempting to flaunt social conventions about gender, race, and status through both action and physical appearance.' Nothing symbolized the struggle more than the long flowing tresses of white youths identified with the hippie movement 2 or the large "Afro" hairstyles of prominent African-American radical activists like Angela Davis.

  • Symbolism of Hair Trends and Styles Among Women in Nakuru Town in the Post-Independence Period
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 22, Issue 9, Ver. 8 (September. 2017) PP 21-27 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Symbolism of Hair Trends And Styles Among Women In Nakuru Town in the Post-Independence Period *Dr. Ruth Nyambura, PhD Mount Kenya University, Nakuru Campus Corresponding Author: *Dr. Ruth Nyambura, PhD Abstract: Generally one’s hair makes a statement about how they see themselves both internally and externally. Through the ages, styles and trends have changed especially among women most of whom perceive that, a bad hair equals a bad day. Hair and beauty is a booming industry. In Kenya, the average woman spends Ksh. 500 and almost two hours a month washing and styling her hair. This is not only because many of us believe that appearances are important, but also because our hair represents our personality, thoughts and beliefs. Head hair is similar to style of dress because it too, is easily manipulated, changed and given meaning. There are few things that hair has symbolized for women throughout history; these include femininity, identity, liberation, freedom and beauty. Many stereotypes have also surfaced assigning attributes to women based solely on the appearance of head hair. Generally, this research highlights the role head hair plays on determining a woman’s overall physical attractiveness or beauty. Specifically, the paper attempts to address whether associations to personality have been assigned to women based on the colour and length of head hair. In addition, this study also seeks to answer questions such as: is a woman with coloured hair perceived happier? Are women with short hair perceived as being trustworthy? Which is the trendiest hairstyle among women in Nakuru? What factors do women in Nakuru town consider when deciding on a hairstyle? The researcher delved into interviews on individual and groups of women, hairstylists as well as unstructured interviews with men who accompanied their partners to the salons at the time of data collection.

  • How to Do a Sock Bun
    How to do a Sock Bun Your child will need a Sock Bun for all performances, unless I tell you otherwise for a special hair style/specific dance. Supplies: A Donut/Bun. Different sizes are available, get one to match the size of your child’s head. You can use any bobby pins – I recommend BunHeads or these Conair ones I found at Walmart. It only takes a few to hold hair in place with these. Pony tail holders – to match your child’s hair color & Hair Spray. I recommend Aussie (purple can). 1) Start with a high ponytail on the CROWN of your head. Not in the back, and not on top. No fly away hair, use gel or hairspray. 2) Some will roll hair onto the donut from the top, I find this hard with long hair. You can do it anyway that you prefer- but make sure the bun is secure to the head and will not come off. Sometimes when you roll the hair down and secure with bobby pins – the bun ends up falling out. I am showing the other method – where you wrap the hair over the donut. Put the donut around the ponytail. 3) Lay one layer of hair over the donut and put a ponytail holder around it to secure it. 4) You can then wrap the hair around & use bobby pins to secure the hair. OR you can braid it. It is up to you if you wrap the hair or braid it, you cannot tell from stage that some girls have braids and some do not; and we will usually have a hair piece or bow to cover the braid.
