The history of hair roots in ancient times and is quite interesting and multifaceted. And it began, most likely, for reasons of convenience - as, say, a fire or a tiger hunt, climb when the hair in the eye? Of course, in a short article it is impossible to describe the whole evolution of hairdressing, but you can try to note the basic features and small strokes to describe the era.

Hairstyle almost to the 20th century could help with the definition of social and family status of its owner or holder. Moreover, male hairstyles paid far less attention than women. They could be even more magnificent and elegant.

The second feature of evolution - is its cyclical nature. Many works of hairdressing might flow into the mists of time and have not hit our imagination, if not accompanying their century fine art (murals, paintings, sculptures). And some of the most practical, coming back into fashion after a few centuries.

In ancient Egypt, both women and men wore wigs from plant fibers or wool. High class wearing the wigs with small braids or tubular locks. The higher the position of a person was, the longer was his (her) a wig. Slaves and simple peasants wore wigs or small caps of scrim.

In ancient Greece were popular Curly hair, curls falling down. The famous Greek unit (Curly waves combed parted in the middle, lowered low on his forehead, the hair on the nape fit assembly) and is now used in ceremonial occasions. Short haircuts decorated with tape or wrap, tape, by the way, featured respectable Greek women from women of easy virtue. Recognizable decoration of the time - a grid of gilt cords. Direct curled hair is not associated with the tradition of sprinkling ashes during mourning.

Ancient Roman first used the Greek tradition in hairstyles, and closer to the sunset Empire updo on the fan-shaped frame.

In Western Europe, talking about women's hair can lead to 14-15 centuries, when the ladies began to open hair. Before that, they tortured themselves epilation Hair removal   no less than we do, but in other places - married ladies late Middle Ages plucked hairs so that they never looked out from under her cap.

A trendsetter for many centuries, France became almost being late, it was followed by Russia, especially after the reign of Peter.

In the Renaissance back in fashion curled ringlets, pinned high on the crown and flowing over his shoulders, decorated with woven into them with pearls and silver. Men wear a hairstyle that in the modern world can be called extended quads Bob haircut - the progenitor of modern fashionable hairstyles   with a bang.

By the 16th century the fashion tightly includes voluminous white wigs to climb up hair Hair: structure, characteristics of growth and development But the side curls, beautifully framing the face.

The next round of the history of hairstyles sultana contributed to the Sun King, picked up during hunting disheveled hair a very original way - lace (story insists it was a garter on a stocking). Construction Madame Fontanges so pleased the king that it had adopted all the ladies in 1680. Fontanges - updo supported lace and wire frame, lasted until 1713, when the royal ball in Versailles eminent British Duchess appeared with slicked hair. The ladies sighed with relief and followed the new fashion. And before that, not only Fontanges, but also the entire sculpture lined up on the head, which alone is worth the famous "hair style with a ship" (the author remained in history - Leonard Bolyari). If the hair is intertwined flowers, it means that there is inserted and bottles of water to the flowers longer looked fresh.

After the French Revolution hairstyles are easier (really acted as the slogan "taking off the head, the hair do not cry"?), You can safely go with her hair different lengths.

Under Napoleon in fashion wigs with semicircular light curls falling down over his ears, and Roman hairstyles with lots of jewelry. After Napoleon's defeat at some time in the palm hairdressing intercepts Vienna, prescribing strict hairstyle with tightly braided hair and big curls.

In 1875, once again attracted the attention of France, Marseille hairdresser invented the hot curling iron.

In the early 20th century thanks to the German barber Nessler appears permanent, this termozavivka marks all his life, regardless of gender. Just as women's short haircut, appeared in Russia after 1917. After World War II there hairstyles with "rollers". In the 60's with a light hand Brigitte Bardot in fashion is "Babette" fleece (how much hair lost its followers, trying to comb this building). 70s mark the era of light graceful haircuts Vidal Sessuna. A 80th passed under the influence of punk direction.

Hairstyles of the century is much easier, more concise. And, nevertheless, two main functions: comfort and decoration operate fully.

It seems that the main difference in the approach to the creation of the "tower" on the head - in the absence of free time modern man.

So, in the last years of the first decade of the 21st century, and prefer to recommend:

• bob with rounded edges or curly hair;
• beam at the back;
• asymmetrical bangs;
• bouffant (here it is, the cyclical fashion);
• no contrast highlights.
