Correct Hair And Its Effects On The Human Body

There has been a notable amount of conversation on the internet on the rebirth of the natural hair movement. Cherise Luter (2014) states that despite afros and the natural hair movement not being a new concept (i.e. the Black Power Movement), it has gone under what she calls a “refreshing change”. Furthermore, what used to be “I’m black and I’m proud”, has been replaced with “I’m me and I’m proud” (Luter 2016). So, what is the natural hair movement? It is defined as a movement where black women decide to not conform to the social norms of chemically altering their hair and wearing it in its natural, kinky, or curled state (Joignot 2015). The movement could also be considered as an outlet for black women to display their racial and cultural pride or to articulate their “political position (Brown 2014:297). However, simply the terminology “movement” is something that should be shocking to many. There is a great amount of historical context behind the continuous influence Eurocentric beauty ideals have had on black women for centuries. According to Nadia Brown (2014), Black natural hair throughout history has proven to be recognized as “either unintended or intended personal and political statements” (298). the beauty standard in Western society which praises European hair textures, has influenced many black women to be critical of other black women who choose to chemically straighten their hair, accusing them of being subservient to the dominant and pervasive racist

Hair is fibre, and it is a lot like wool. Every hair has three layers. The first and inner most layer of fibres are the medulla. The second layer is the cortex that is around the medulla, and the outer most layer is called the cuticle and it protects the other sensitive layers underneath from breakage or damage. Each hair grows around 0,653cm each month out of the follicles in our heads and it may keep growing for up to 6 years until it falls out and there is space for new hair to grow. The length of your hair depends on how long it grows for. If it only grows for less years than the average growth period of six years, it will be shorter. The thickness of your hair depends on the wideness of you hair

Alopecia areata is a non-life threatening hair loss disease. It may not literally kill you, but in other ways deep down it could. I know this from my personal life. I have been an individual that has been suffering from alopecia for the past six years. It’s not easy living in this world with it. I feel at times that it’s a pain just to go to school and be in public with my disease.

Chris Rock’s documentary, Good Hair, investigates the notion of what good hair is. Dominant society views good hair as straight or essentially caucasian hair. This is not only problematic to the self-esteem and confidence of black women, but it can also cause black women to appropriate Asian culture. Black women unfortunately take advantage of Asian culture in search of what society believes is good hair. Many black women wear weaves in order to align to what society believes is good hair. However, when they buy this hair, they do not realize what Asians go through. Likewise, Asians who give up their hair do not know where or who this hair will be going to. Thus, this desire for good hair further perpetuates the lack of understanding that black

The essay Hair written by Maria Alderich, is an analysis of women during the 1950’s need to conform, rebel, or fit in to societies social standards and the inner conflict it caused in women’s identity. The essay is Alderich’s firsthand account of the females in her immediate family and how they use their hair styles to define themselves and represent their self-identity.

Trichology is the study of hair. Interestingly, this study dates back to mid-1800s. However, hair analysis in forensic science began in 1930. During which time, a forensic scientist by the name of Edmond Locard introduced the Locard Exchange Principal. This principal hinges on the fact that any time there is contact between two surfaces an exchange of material will take place. (Oien, 2009) In this paper, I will prove how Forensic Hair Analysis and Forensic Hair comparison and studies if properly performed and correctly interpreted hair analysis meets all the scientific method standards.

After concluding my observations and organizing my data it is clear that a couple of things don't affect the results of this observation. compared to the other options that were available to observe for this project. One of the other options was the length of men's hair. I think comparing male hair length on campus to the total male population would have some interesting results. Young generation males are wearing the “man bun” more and more. I think this could be a result of students going to a University, and not having the time, energy, or money to set up a hair appointment in a new town. So they end up just growing their hair out, because it's easier. Another option to observe was women's sleeve length, but this is really going to be impacted

[…]After going downstairs, for breakfast, Leonda picks up the remote and clicks on the TV. She “channels surfs” until she comes across a network morning show that has the stat of a big new Hollywood movie as a guest.

After flipping off the switch to my cheap, red Revlon hair dryer, I took one glance in the mirror and noticed my hair looked exactly as expected: terrible. My dark brown curls were separated, flattened, and all the volume had been suctioned out. My once-voluptuous locks were now dry and brittle noodles. I have never had great experiences with hair dryers. Honestly, how could I? I have fine, curly hair that frizzes at the very touch of my fingers. Some days it looks like a rat’s nest, other days it looks like five rat’s nests all got into a fight over whose nest could look the dirtiest. So let me explain to you the extent of a mess in which I deal with on the daily.

The thinning of hair on the scalp is called hair loss. Hair loss is also known as alopecia that occurs gradually and referred to androgenic alopecia. In androgenic alopecia heredity and androgens and male hormones is needed to develop the condition. Some other types of hair loss are talogen effluvium, traction alopecia and alopecia areata.
