  2. Introduction I am going to be doing my project on the history of hairstyles. I will be creating PowerPoint to show the evolution of hairstyles. And the reflection of cultural and social norms. Hairstyles may also reflect the politics of the era. My PowerPoint will include hairstyles between the era and the hairstyles popular through the years. Underneath the pictures I will write about how the hairstyles became popular, who had it first, the development of important hair products and tools came out around that time. I will be using information from online sources like 1. 25 hairstyles of the last one hundred years and 3. history of hairstyles. When completed the reader will have an understanding of; what hair is, how people styled it, and what tools have been developed over the years for styling hair. The PowerPoint will have a resource list.

  3. 1500s Queen Elizabeth was the main hair icon. She had been setting all the trends in her era. She has a pale complexion and red tresses. Girls were running everywhere to get large amounts of white face powder and red wigs. Ladies also did not wear bangs. They scraped their hair back from the face to expose the forehead. They braided it and coiled it to encircle the head. A large forehead was beautiful back then. Women would pluck all the hair from the front of their heads to make the hairline recede.

  18. Science of hair • When a baby is 22 weeks old in the stomach all of its hair follicles formed. • At that point in life there are 5 million hair follicles on the body. • There are one million on the head but only one hundred thousand on the scalp. This is the largest amount of follicles we will ever have. • Scalp hair is reduced as we grow because our scalp expands as we grow.

  19. Science of hair • Follicles stay in the skin while the shaft is the visible part above the scalp. • Hair follicles are tunnel like segments of the epidermis that goes down into the dermis. • The structure contains several layers that all have separate functions. At the base is the papilla which contains tiny blood vessels that nourish the cells. • The living part of the hair is at the bottom part that surrounds the papilla which is called the bulb. • The cells of the bulb divide every 23 to 72 hours.

  20. Science of hair • The inner and outer sheaths surround the follicle. • The inner sheath follows the hair shaft and ends below the opening of a sebaceous gland which is a scent gland. • The outer sheath goes all the way up to the gland. • A muscle called an erector pili muscle attaches below the gland to a fibrous layer around the outer sheath.. This gland is vital because it produced sebum, which conditions your hair and skin. • . The cortex makes up a majority of the hair shaft. The outer layer is the cuticle. The cuticle is a tightly formed structure made of shingle like overlapping scales. The cortex and medulla hold the hairs pigment, giving it color.

  21. Science of hair • Hair on the scalp grows .3 to .4 mm a day which would be 6 inches a year. There are three stages of growth and shedding. • Anagen is the active phase. The cells in the root of the hair are growing rapidly. It’s harder for some people to grow their hair beyond a certain length because they have a short active phase. • The next stage is the catagen phase. It’s a transitional stage. There’s about 3 percent of all hairs are in this phase at any time. Growth stops and the outer root sheath shrinks and attaches root to the hair. • The last stage is the Telogen phase. Telogen phase is the resting phase. It usually accounts for a 6 percent to 8 percent of all the hairs. This phase lasts 100 days for hairs on the scalp and longer for hairs on the eyebrow, eyelash, arm, and leg.
