THE HISTORY OF HAIR

In all cultures hair and all throughout history, hair had a special significants and played an important roll for power, youth, beauty and attraction in ancient and modern societies. Hair is a natural human beauty accessory and it's full of symbolic importance as means of personal expression.
Early records indicate that the ancient Assyrians wore elaborate curly hair styles; by contrast, the ancient Egyptians, men and women alike, shaved their heads and wore wigs. Whether ornate or simple, hairdressing has been employed by very nearly every society.Egyptian hair
Egyptian men (who were beardless) and women shaved their heads for coolness (except in times of mourning, after which it was again shaved). Joseph (Hebrew) was clean shaven prior to being allowed in before Pharaoh (Genesis 41:14). The women of Egypt wore their hair long and plaited.

The Hebrews were prohibited by biblical law from cutting their hair or beards. Thus, following ancient tradition, Orthodox Jewish men through the centuries have worn long hair and beards. After the exile, in the 1st century AD, Orthodox women, upon marriage, cropped their hair and wore wigs, a custom which is still practiced to some extent.Samson hair
The most famous story is about Samson who was the A judge and the leader of the Israelites and have been chosen by god. His long hair which he never cut gave him super human powers, the only person who knew his secret was Delilah (his lover). She betrayed Samson and one night cut his hair with a knife and he lost all his powers. This was the only way that he could be caught by his enemies.

In the ancient Greek society curly hair was the coolest hair style; it represented an attitude towards life.
Ancient Greeks, for the most part, had curly hair -- their magnificent statues with curly haigreek hairr are famous. In an attempt to emulate not only the Greeks' political and cultural styles, the Europeans (with their straight hair) adopted curly hair styles as well -- their higher-echelon dignitaries, including judges and members of the royal family, began wearing culry wigs. The aristocrats, eager to show that they had class, knowledge, philosophy and sophistication, wanted to be Greek-like. Curly hair became synomous with class and beauty in the western civilization.
Then, as now, some men looked for ways to conquer the hair loss problem. During the Republic, grease and oil were thought to make hair grow.

The 1920s was a decade of huge societal changes in America. Women got the right to vote, a world war had just ended, hard liquor was banned, and the economy was booming as industry titans emerged. A unique time in the history of hairstyles, the 1920s saw the birth of the ‘Flapper’ era, highlighted by women with very short hair, bold new fashions, and a carefree attitude.

In the early 80's the punk protest movement among young teenagers used Punkhair as a symbol of revolt against the government and the rich life style by wearing provocative hair cuts with strong colors.
To this day, hair has kept it's importance as a symbol of power, youth, beauty and health. Today hair style are a mix of different verity of ideas with a combination of ancient and modern, but the importance of healthy hair remains unchanged.
Hair loss and damage of hair is considered a medical problem that can affect the quality of life and can be treat with combination of medications and hair restoration solutions.
