Hair and Hair-styling

There was a time when hairdressers were given same status as surgeons, and were known as barber-surgeons who could perform minor surgery like boils and warts. Soon, however, the hairdressing became just a skill, no medical knowledge was required; the field of surgery was left to the medical surgeons, as the concept of surgery, disinfecttants and medicines changed with advances in medical science.

Beauty and hair care need no introduction as such, because with women it is very much a part of grooming. Also this consciouness has been passed on through the ages.

Six thousands years ago, the Egyptians were using wigs on various occasions, and skin-care was being given a great deal of importance.
