Everyday people use an invention that has come far over the years, evolving and changing to become better and better. One does not even think about the tool they use every day, how it’s made or what it’s structure is. The hair tie has changed from an ordinary, plain ribbon to a comfortable, stylish Emi-Jay(Murray) with many chemicals used to make it function so well. Everyday many women and girls use hair ties and don’t even think about what this simple, yet effective, tool is made of. Today, hair ties are made of cloth and elastic. The cloth wrapped around an elastic is key to the success of a good hair tie. It wasn’t until 1986 that cloth even started to be used(Flaherty). Many companies use satin because of it’s smooth texture but other …show more content…
Rubber has nineteen other chemicals that make it up, and not excluding any they are: carbon black, neoprene, EPDM, nitrile butadiene, styrene butadiene, isobutene isoprene, isoprene (natural & synthetic), chloro-sulfonyl-polyethylene, acrylate-butadiene copolymer of acrylic ester and acrylic halide, polyethylene-apdate, poly(oxy-1, 4, butylene)ether, chlorinated- polyethylene, hexafluoropropylene-vinylidene fluoride, polybutadiene, tetrafluoroethylene-flouronitrosomethane-perfluoro butyric acid, polychloromethyl oxirane, ethylene oxide, chloromethyl oxirane, fluorocarbon (Polysiloxane). All of these chemicals are vital to rubber and rubber could not exist, and without rubber, we would not have elastic or hair ties. Along with the chemical makeup of hair ties, the history of the hair tie is interesting as well. Hair ties originally started out as simple ribbons in the 1700s. Used by working women and young girls all over the world, these ribbons helped all females greatly. Even though this was very useful and women loved this invention, the ribbons were not accepted and were considered “unladylike.”(Murray) The ribbon was later improved in the
Mother Nature has provided her tools since the beginning of time. One particular herb I want to discuss with you is Torilis Nodosa, also known as Knotted Hedge Parsley. Knotted Hedge Parsley is a plant that branches out at the base, low and spreading. They have five small white flowers, each that are in compact, compound umbels that come from the leaf axes. It is native to parts of Europe, especially the Mediterranean Basin and it is known elsewhere, such as North America, as an introduced species and a common weed. They spread out in all areas of the world, including residential lawns that grow in the Spring and Summer, which is May through August. They will also grow all year in colder climates.
Young single women often wore their hair loose, but once married almost all medieval women wore a linen wimple (wrapup) to cover the hair. This was a sign of modesty. Other items worn by medieval women included hair pins, prayer beads, leather purses, woolen knee stockings, and leather shoes (Hull).
In 1909, Morgan opened a tailoring shop, selling coats, suits and dresses. While working in this shop he came upon a discovery which brought about his first invention. He noticed that the needle of a sewing machine moved with such a high speed that often its friction would scorch the thread of woolen materials. He then set out to develop a liquid that would be a useful polish to the needle, reducing friction. Once, when his wife called him to dinner, he wiped the liquid from his hands onto a piece of pony-fur cloth. When he returned to his workshop, he saw that the fibers on the cloth were now standing straight. He conceived that the fluid had actually straightened the fibers. In order to confirm his theory, he decided to apply some of the fluid to the hair of a neighbor's dog. The fluid straightened the dog's hair so much, that the neighbor, not recognizing his own pet, chased the animal away. Morgan then decided try the fluid on himself, trying small portions of his hair at first, and eventually his entire head. He was successful and had invented the first human-hair straightener. This invention has helped a lot commercially. A lot of today’s media features people with straightened hair. This might not be possible if Garrett Morgan hadn’t made the contributions he did. He marketed the product under the name the G. A. Morgan Hair Refining Cream and sold by his G. A. Morgan Refining Company, which became a very successful business.

Revolutionary fashions made it acceptable to show more skin, develop different styles, and be able for women to express themselves. Women began to liberate themselves from the traditional long hairstyles and turn to the new and shorter masculine hairdos. “The bob appeared in the US shortly. Women with bobs needed more frequent haircuts, and wanted permanent waves” (Monet). Women began to cut their hair shorter, cringing their hair, and finger waving it.

Every envisioned change that transpires in our life has a purpose and an impending conclusion. Some may last forever whereas others barely last a year. The 1920s, known as the “roaring twenties”, was a decisive moment to an entire novel way of life for many people. Entertainment, fashion, jobs, laws, and technology transpired unexpectedly during this period. Almost every one of those progressions are being continued till today, yet in a more modernized custom. These aspects determine who one is and illustrate the society as a whole. The turning point of fashion has made one of the largest impacts on society today. Although the change was focused more on female fashion, men’s style of clothing also went through a bit of modification. Before the 1920s, dressing as conservative as conceivable was every girl’s first priority in order to preserve a respectable reputation. Considering that as a dearth of freedom, a few girls began to rebel. As clothes loosened, shortened, and became more revealing, women portrayed themselves differently. They no longer had stern restrictions on what they wore and freedom was slowly ascending. Men’s casual clothing in the 1920s was similar to what would be considered formal wear today. Loose silk dresses, fancy suits, feathers, sequence, strappy sandals, strap on bowties, and long pearly jewelry make up the contemporary fashion that primarily reflects on the style during the roaring twenties era.

Before I began to do my search process, I made a list and wrote down the things I knew, and certain keywords I could use to find my information. Some of my keywords were, how has technology made cosmetology better, how has technology changed the industry, advances in cosmetology with their equipment and cosmetics, new advanced and enhanced things for cosmetology in 2016- 2017, and if they are making an effect on society. Finding my sources for my research paper wasn't a difficult process for me. I began by typing the question, “new technology in the beauty industry” in the Google search bar. I had a lot of different sources appear, that allowed me to have variety of sources that I needed for my paper.
Tie Dye is a process of resist dyeing clothing which is made from knit or woven fabrics, usually cotton. When we think of tie dye and where it might have originated, the first image that often comes to mind is the freewheeling hippie lifestyle of the 1960′s. Today, many of us who wear tie dye feel some connection with that peace-loving hippie spirit! Many are surprised to learn that the history of tie dye actually began long before those free-loving, music-grooving era days. The earliest mentions of tie dye in historical records were in ancient Japan and China. Tie dye gained popularity in the United States during the Great Depression, it was considered an economical way to add new color to old materials. Pamphlets were handed out describing how to tie dye and use old cotton, flour, coffee, and sugar sacks to create new clothing and home decorations.
The Renaissance time period could be considered one of the most artistic eras of all time. Both men and women were encouraged to make a transition from the medieval time period to the Renaissance time period. This was done largely in part by their style of clothing and the way they expressed themselves. Some fashionable trends for the women of the Renaissance time period include corsets, layers, ruffled collars, and closely fitted gowns called cotes. “Corsets like the merry widow were necessary for parties, dances, and other formal occasions” (Hoobler 98). Unmarried girls, brides, and queens of the time were allowed to wear their hair down, while most other women were to wear tall cone-shaped hats called hennin. The men of the renaissance era typically wore their ...
Hair is an important part of our body. It can be found anywhere and can be a useful evidence in forensic science. It consists of three layers, namely cuticle, cortex and medulla. Cuticle- is a covering that consists of hard scales made of keratin, which is a protein approaching tip ends of the hair. There are three types of cuticle: coronal, imbricated and spinous types. Cortex consists of stretched out beam shaped cells, buried with pigment granules for hair to cede with color and is the main body of the hair shaft. It may also contain pigment granula, ovoid bodies and cortical fusi (Wright, 2008). Furthermore, medulla can be categorized into continuous, fragmental, absent and interrupted types. If medulla
Initially, rubber has existed for an extensive period of time. When viewing the “early history of rubber development, [there] is evidence that rubber existed even before Columbus’ time” (Robert, E.A. 1952, p. 77). One of the earlier uses of rubber was documented in a Mexican Tribe where the natives of Mexico and West Indies played games using elastic balls (Robert, E.A. 1952, p. 77). Many scientists attempted to establish “suitable solvents for rubber since its arrival in Europe as a raw material in the late 1700s, however none had been successful” (Backer, C. 1997, p.14). Furthermore, it is relevant to say that the rubber industry was primarily established in Europe by Charles Macintosh, who was an industrial chemist in 1818 (Backer, C. 1997, p.14). Later on, the rubber industry began to devel...
