How Did Old Ancient Dye Hair

For ancient Egyptians, appearance was an important issu e. Appearance indicated a persons status, role in a society or political significance, and the hair is an important part of that. Just like today, ancient Egyptians also dyed their hair for beauty, and the most popular color is red, but how did they obtain the color without the technology we have today ?

Scientists found a material called henna in a strand of Egyptian hair from as early as 3400 BC. Research showed that Egyptians used henna to dye their hair red. Henna is still used today. Also there is a body of evidence from paintings that depict the existence of people with red hair, such as the 18th Dynasty Hunutmehet.

Also there were some others means to dye hair, for example, the old Roman dyed hair with lead acetate, they dipped lead comb in the vinegar, and then combed the hair to get black hair, also the mixture of walnut shell and garlic sprouts made the same effect. And Germanic people could get black color from a mixture of suet and plant ash juice.

In China, there were also many methods to dye hair, The Eastern JinDynasty medical scientist Ge Hong wrote that artemisia stelleriana could dye the hair black, which was recorded as a secret in the Palace. And in the “Compendium of Materia Medica” written by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty, there were more than twenty kinds of drugs that could be used to dye hair.

Now we can see that the ancients were also fashional in dyeing hair, and even without advanced technology, they can achieve it though various natural manners too, but still one question, all of them could not solve the color fading, regrettably, which is also a difficult problem today.

Considering the high costs of real human hair wigs, human hair and synthetic blend wigs are getting more and more popular nowadays. Wearing a wig is a great way to change your hairstyle in an instant. The human hair blend wigs make you can not only get a fashion look but also enjoy the minimal care and maximum styling options.

Wigs come in a variety of styles with different options in terms of hair material, color, texture, length and cap construction, among which, hair material is one of the main factors that affects the price.

As we know, human hair wigs are natural, durable and flexible. They act just like normal human hair would. You can style them however you like, which include curling or straightening them with a curling iron or flat iron. However, just like your real hair, human hair wigs don’t hold a style very long, and they are far more expensive than synthetic wigs which are not affordable by the general public.

Synthetic hair wigs on the other hand, most of them are shiny and unnatural, they do not feel so real like human hair and also cannot be colored. Unless it is a heat friendly synthetic wig, otherwise, you cannot style it with a curling iron or flat iron. Synthetic hair cannot breathe therefore the scalp may perspire and itch more than usual.

However, synthetic hair wigs do have their advantages, especially for those heat friendly synthetic wigs. They can be styled with heating implements such as steam, hair dryers and curling irons, and they will always keep the preset style even after being washed. What matters most, synthetic wigs are significantly cheaper than human hair wigs.

With all these pros and cons, we are starting to see the new product— human hair and synthetic blend wigs hit the market. They can offer the best characteristics of both human hair and synthetic. You can get both the natural look of human hair and easy styling features of synthetic.

However, to give the human hair blend wigs even more styling flexibility, heat friendly synthetic fiber is the best option to be mixed in, as it closely resembles human hair and can withstand heat which means it can be curled and flat ironed.

Human hair and synthetic blend wigs create a medium in terms of cost and make those luscious locks are also affordable for the general public. If you are currently deciding which wig to purchase, and do not want to invest too much money but get the utmost natural look, the human hair blend wig will definitely be a good choice.

How to care for hair extension cuticles.

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 16th November 2012

In Hair Technique and Design

Using hair extensions is a great way to give yourself a new look. It’s like getting a new lease of life as hair extensions can not only lengthen but also thicken all types of hair. The best type of hair used in hair extensions is actual human hair with cuticle intact. The cuticle hair extension is very rare and expensive, therefore we have written this article to teach you how to extend the life of your cuticle hair extensions.

Here are some tips on how to care for cuticle hair extensions:

1. Firstly, be gentle when caring for hair extensions.

Some women tend to be rough when caring for their own hair i.e. when brushing or washing. It’s important to be extremely gentle when caring for your hair extensions. Brushing or styling the extensions too roughly can cause the hair to fall out and/or matte.

2. Prevent hair damage by avoidingheat-styling tools.

Nothing looks worse than frizz, breakage and split ends, which are all common problems among women who use curling irons or flat irons to curl or straighten their hair. Consider limiting how often you use a blow dryer, flat iron, or curling iron on your hair extensions. A heat protectant spray should also be used on hair extensions to reduce the risk of heat damage.

3. Use moisturizing shampoos and conditioners on extensions.

Since human hair extensions are, like any natural hair, prone to heat damage. It is therefore ideal to use moisturizing shampoos and conditioners whenever possible. Consider asking your hair stylist to recommend a line of products that will be suitable for your particular hair extensions. Doing a deep conditioning masque for 3-5 minutes once every one to two weeks is also ideal for keeping the hair hydrated.

4. Avoid washing hair extensions too often.

Most beauty experts recommend that you only wash human hair extensions three

times a week. Of course that is, unless you smoke or workout a lot then washing the extensions any more than this isn’t necessary. It is especially important to avoid washing the hair too frequently if you do not use deep moisturizing products, as other shampoos and conditioners can dry out the extensions and even cause dandruff on the scalp.

Following these tips will help you to maintain long lasting beautifully maintained cuticle hair extensions. Following these simple rules can eliminate going to the salon for that all expensive and time consuming extension touch up.

Why do British barristers and judges wear wigs?

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 16th November 2012

In Goodyard Wigs

Wearing a wig for a judge or barrister is one of the most famously unique features in UK traditions and past times. In other countries and regions, including former British colonies, we can even see this precisely British culture branch out into Hong Kong.

The question, why do British Judges and barristers wear these wigs? Many people who’ve studied British history provide various explanations.

The Four Explanations:

Fashion

Louis XIV began the trend of wearing wigs. The balding Louis XIV adopted the wig out of vanity. When King Charles II returned from the French court. The trend spread like a wildfire among the wealthy of England and by 1660, the House of Lords had adopted the fashion.

Self-preservation

England emerged from a civil war between the Crown, Cavalier King Charles II, and the Parliament-supporting Roundheads, named for the shorn heads of the Puritans. With the monarchy restored, long judicial wigs which made a statement against the Roundheads.

Anonymity

A bench of Judges/Lords, dressed uniformly, from wig to toe, which is implied to unitedthe front representing the Crown’s interest, rather than the individual interests of its members. Robes and wigs also hiddetails of clothing that potentially distract attention during a court proceeding.

Tradition

Numerous campaigns were launched to rid barristers and Lords of wigs during legal proceedings. Sir Robert Collier waged the first effort, inspired by a sticky summer of 1868. As of 2010, all historical and modern attempts failed, citing tradition as the main reason for continuing the practice.
