Indigo, known primarily as a fabric dye, could be combined with henna to make light brown to black shades of hair dye. An extract of the flowers of the chamomile plant was long used to lighten hair. The bark, leaves, or nutshells of many trees were used for hair dyes. Wood from the brazilwood tree yielded brown hair dyes. Another hair dye was derived from a tree similar to the Mulberry tree.

Outside of the many colors that hair can be dyed, there are many different method used to color hair. Hair dye and the hair coloring process is a matter of chemistry. The first safe commercial hair color was created in 1909 by French chemist Eugene Schuller. He used the chemical Paraphenylenediamine. Hair coloring is the result of a series of chemical reactions between the molecules in hair, pigments, as well as peroxide and ammonia. The choice of which method to use will depend on the desired shade and longevity of the color. Temporary hair dye lasts for between one to three washes. This type of hair coloring involves no chemical reactions within the hair. Pigments are applied to the surface of the hair, without penetrating any further. These are easily removed...

...Abstract Hair and health have an existing relationship, yet little is known about the relationship between stylist hair care practices and encouragement of self-care in the African American community. The hair cosmetic industry has undergone a revolutionary change over the last two decades, dramatically veering from merely cleaning to repair, increasing the tensile strength, reducing oxidative damage, and stimulating growth. Unfortunately, the psychological and physical consequences of improper hair care by stylists have resulted in “hair stress” in the African American community (Winfield, 2008). The problem under investigation is what are physical and psychological processes of growing healthy African American hair, where people look good on the outside and feel good on the inside. This study utilizes a content analysis approach for using YouTube tutorials to support the “Growing Hands Theory” that encourages proper hair care practices related to physical and mental health for people of African descent. Core Concept Definition Healthy Hair Healthy hair is a result of hair care and self-care. Hair care varies from different hair types because all hair is not the same, but all hair benefits from individuals having appropriate nutrition, hydration, exercise, stress management, and restorative sleep.

...anxiety, attention, upkeep and manipulation as our hair. At once a biological consequence and cultural marker our hair is both a natural and contrived result of our lifestyles and our personalities. Looking to hair as an extension of the human body and its function as an object open to both pigeonholing and differentiation, ‘hair’ is defined as a unique and complex topic, imbued with more cultural and historical meaning than many others. From the day we are born we start on a personal and often intimate exploration of the excess, absence, cutting, covering, growing, and grooming of hair as the both appearance of individuality and compliance in our lives. Be it on your body, face, or head; whether removed, replaced, relaxed, dyed, long, short, curly, straight, or even synthetic, hair is inherently inscribed with meaning as a manifestation of personal preference or imposed rules of conduct as it has been for centuries. As children, we are familiar with what makes a man and what makes a woman and although lacking in understanding of most biological factors, hair is readily...

...What are the pro’s and con’s of hair fiber evidence vs. other types of physical evidence?? Hair and fiber evidence can be serious to an investigation. In most cases, these alone cannot offer a helpful identification of a suspect, but these laboratory techniques can be helpful in narrowing down a list of suspects. When collecting hair evidence, it is extremely important to make sure that all hairs come from the same area of the body. This is because the physical characteristics of hair differ in different parts of the body. If a person tries to compare head hair to pubic hair, for instance, a match will probably not be made. Most hair comparisons deal with either head or pubic hair. If collecting head hair, a typical sampling can usually by obtained with about 50 full-length hairs. Approximately two dozen full-length pubic hairs are needed for a good sample. It is necessary to collect the entire length of each strand of hair, because a hair can show variation in color or other physical characteristics throughout the strand. If the size or the length of each piece of hair falls below the minimum, it can be very difficult to form any connections based on the evidence. When collecting fibers, careful examination of all fiber carriers is imperative. It is important to have somebody at the scene to specifically look for fiber clues because this kind of evidence cannot be seen with the naked eye. Clothing that could contain fibers should be bagged separately in paper bags. Every item...

...Hair is an accessory that defines who we are. Hair tools make it easier to make our hair unique and different. While we think an invention like the curling iron or the straightening iron are modern inventions they can be traced all the way back to 1194 BCE. Hair tools have been important throughout history as they have helped people express themselves. All these ideas, concepts, and humans should not be possible if not for the big bang. The big bang is responsible for many things like human hair. Human hair is made up of, keratin proteins, natural oils, and hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are found in the hair's cortex. These bonds make hair curly or wavy. Keratin is made of long chains of amino acids that contain sulfur, keratin is not only found in hair, but nails, and teeth. The electric hair straightener allows us to style our hair regardless of the hydrogen bonds. The straightener consists of two metal plates that are usually heated to 300 and 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The two metal plates are held by a plastic handle that is resistant to heat. The metal plates pass through the hair. The heat from the iron makes it easier to break disulfide bonds. The breaking of disulfide bonds allows keratin chains to move around when the hair cools down the disulfide bonds the keratin are reformed. Since the keratin molecules cooled in a straight position the hair...
