For example, to remove unwanted hair from the 14th through the middle of the 17th centuries, women used quicklime...aka that stuff that gangs use to dissolve bodies! It's hard to believe, but being pale has been all the rage throughout history - until this century.

This job is said to be “a job that provides a helpful service which that means that it cannot be accomplished by automated machines” (Beautyschooldirectory-.com).

Colorism in the United States is a result of the history of people being discriminated based upon one’s skin tone. For many years, the European standard of beauty has been set forth and pushed upon mainly young men and women of many backgrounds
It is sad to know that we cohabit a nation where you are frowned upon because of the content of your skin. This documentary depicts adolescent Black/ African American girl and boys, and women talking about their melanin. Society imposed on us that to be beautiful you must be of a fairly light complexion, have a sculpted body, perfect bone structure, and have nice non-kinky hair. This image has been imbedded in our society, and resulted in those in the Black/ African American community feeling as is they are ugly, non lovable, unwanted, not smart, less than, lacking self confidence, and wishing that they can change their skin tone (by bleaching) to be accepted and to be considered beautiful.

According to 10 Weird and Wacky Beauty Facts by Andrea Lavinthal, in ancient Greece, the most sought-after hair color was blond. Not many Greeks were naturally blond, so light hair was probably perceived as beautiful because it was so exotic. Women would lighten their hair using plant extracts or arsenic. They also washed their locks with a mixture of ashes, olive oil, and water. She also explained how “it was a shame that extension weren’t available during the Heian period when a Japanese woman’s beauty was judges by the length of her hair, since the ideal was considered almost two feet longer than her waist. We’re assuming that ponytails were a popular hairstyle back then.” There are many other crazy facts about beauty facts like Vaseline makes your eyelashes grow and can take off makeup, or if your finger nails are discolored from using dark polish, use a slice of lemon on them and they will regain their color (The beauty magazine, Roselyn Miller, pg. 67). Going into the field of Cosmetology helps you express yourself and it brings out your inner creativity. That is one of the many reason I love this line of work, because when I do hair it lets me express myself while creating a hairstyle of my own. The first time I started doing hair was when I was about 10 or 11, I was a natural! I want to be able to know my clients and exactly what will look right on my clients and read people, so I would know what they do like just by talking to them. I need to learn to separate family from business. I do know some things about this field I before this assignment that cosmetology is not just about doing hair, it’s also about learning about the Skin; Doing make up, eye lashes, etc. You also learn about nails; doing a...
It is essential to recognize the relative perception of beauty products and hair treatments for different ethnic groups at the time in question. For the white consumer, the use of makeup was the major issue; the disreputable view of the painted lady had to be overcome. The black woman had a more complex situation regarding the products being offered. Hair-straightening and skin-lightening products could be viewed as an attempt to seem more white, and use of these products was thus charged with racial overtones within the black community.
From that realization more and more are taking heed to their individualism which results in the natural hair movement for black women. This particular movement plays a part in demanding justice in being accepted for a feature we cannot change as a race. The natural hair movement has contributed to the black panthers movement in the saying “I'm Black and I'm Proud”, if Black panthers can realize the love they have of their features why can't women of the 2000s can
An esthetician generally works in spas, resorts, or salons performing facials, waxing, and skin treatments. Some estheticians get additional certifications such as laser hair removal and microdermabrasion, which is a non-chemical procedure
"There is a secret under-life poisoning our freedom; infused with notions of beauty, it is a dark vein of self-hatred, physical obsessions, terror of aging, and dread of lost control." In this quote from Naomi Wolf's The Beauty Myth, the very core of the issue is brought to light by emphasizing the degree to which women feel they need to compete amongst themselves.If you Google "beauty" and go to images, it is no surprise that all of the images contain women in full professional makeup. The vision of beauty has not deviated from the stereotypical sense. Too many women view ugliness as a disease and try to cure it all costs, which equates to the billions spent on health and beauty products every year. A woman, no matter how confident she may
Beauty begins with skin care and the belief that healthy skin is beautiful skin. A range of cleansers, moisturizers, toners and foundation will help your
The practice of improving the beauty of others may seem insignificant to some but for those in process of studying the cosmetology industry take great pride in the work they hope to produce. Hair stylist and nail technicians improve the way people look and feel about oneself to better improve self confidence; cosmetologist strive to do the best they can to achieve the look that their client may be searching for. However, these techniques must be taught thoroughly and without the proper teaching techniques, the upcoming cosmetologist may feel behind and uncertain about their abilities when performing on clients. Without the proper and professional ways of teaching, the student struggle to ever gain success in the business; this business builds only from the repetition of great work and failing to achieve the overall style of the desired look from the client will result in a failing business. The search of finding a successful and up to date school requires more work than one may assume.
The issue of “skin whitening” is caused by the oppression of colonization, racism within and outside of the same race, and social injustice to women. Townes said that “race is a social construction as well as a cultural production where there are both implicit and explicit costs and benefits to collapsing race into uninterrogated coloredness.” The popularity of “skin whitening” in most colored people countries reminds people of the existence of global racism problem, especially the racial discrimination to women. The past centuries’ feminist movement and liberation movement have not completed, and will have to continue for a long time. Compared to the physical liberation, the more important thing for colored people or women is the liberation

Krishen, LaTour, and Allishah (2014) define the gap between one 's ideal skin tone and one 's self perceived skin tone as "skin tone tension". This theory can be extended towards the literatures discussed thus far. The gap between the fair skin an individual desires and her actual skin tone is further exaggerated by the advertisements publicized globally. Mass media fenlarges this skin tone tension gap because it is evoking a specific image women "ought" to have. The general message is that pale is more
