I rolled up to my “Little House on the Prairie” look alike hair salon. Got out of my mother’s car, and started darting for the shop entrance. My hair just as stiff as a bad knee when it’s raining outside, flyways going in multiple directions and bobby pins hanging for dear life onto strands of hair. It was definitely time for me to get my hair done. I opened the pink spray painted back door, and was flooded with scents of Moroccan and citrus smelling hair products. As I walked through the narrow hallway that had hair balls scattered all over the floor, I was warmly greeted with a, “Hey girl!” from my hairstylist Andrea. Who had on the usual dark colored tee shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes combo; with a black styling apron to finish it off. She then gestured her hand telling me to follow her to the washing room. On our way to the room we passed multiple stations where we heard stylist talking about the newest salon drama between highlight specialists. Along with the radio blasting “It’s gettin’ hot in here, so take off all your clothes!” from the surround sound speakers. And the roaring mixture of a blow dryer, spray bottles, the
I was completely off with my prediction because it turns out they were talking about how teachers don’t get paid enough in North Carolina. I’m really not good at lip reading; it’s never been my specialty. By the time I realized everything that was going on in the room, Andrea had already started flat ironing my hair. I only noticed this when I suddenly experienced what felt like the heat of the sun on my scalp. She slightly burned me so she didn’t know what she had done until I flinched and moved the chair. She kindly said, “I’m so sorry” and tried to be as careful as she could after that. But for the rest of the time all I could think about was getting burned again, so the clamping of the flat iron plates were my focus for the remaining fifteen
and she still hadn’t gone to any classes the first day she got kicked out cause of Nick the second she got trapped indoors because of...nick. he was starting to become a real problem and being his roommate didn’t make it any easier. Both Nick and her were off today no classes which was great. Because through over four showers and a whole lot of scrubbing she still had a few dark spots on her fur. She was worried about today but for other reasons.
The author also referred to the hair of Zeena and Mattie quite often. Zeena had only “thin strands of hair”, and she wore a “hard perpendicular bonnet” above her head. The sight imprinted in the reader’s mind is not a pleasant one. Zeena appears to be stern and rigid. On the contrary when Mattie’s hair was described, it is more appealing. Ethan remembers her “smoothed hair and a ribbon at her neck”. A ribbon is more appealing to the reader than a “hard, perpendicular bonnet.” Mattie’s hair was also described as looking like a “drift of mist on the moon”. Unlike Zeena’s uninviting hairstyle, Mattie’s hair had a soft and silky quality to it. Mattie seemed to walk about the house with a halo of light surrounding her, almost like an angel. The conflicting hairstyles of the two women represented an overall difference in personalities. Mattie was a feminine young girl, while Zeena was an old hag who made no attempt to better her appearance.
By the time Sarah was in her late thirties, she was dealing with hair loss because of a combination of stress and damaging hair care products. After experimenting with various methods, she developed a formula of her own that caused her hair to grow again quickly. She often said that after praying about her hair, she was given the formula in a dream. When friends and family members noticed how Sarah's hair grew back, they began to ask her to duplicate her product for them. She began to prepare her formula at home, selling it to friends and family and also selling it door to door.

To begin, A woman’s hairstyle puts her in a self-selected class and offers you some real information about her. Bangs say one or two things, either she is shy or she is fierce. So by reading the title you think that this story is going to be about a guy’s infatuation with this timid girl that has bangs or a story about being captivated by this bold girl and his favorite feature is her bangs. But once you start reading we learn that “he” we thought was being captivated by the girl with bangs is actually a “she”.

The big day was finally here! I woke up around four in the morning to get my hair and makeup done. I had stayed in Fort Worth at my aunt’s house, since the lady doing my hair lived closed to her. So already it starts to go bad. The lady called in saying she couldn’t make it because her car broke down, so of course I start freaking out. I needed my hair and makeup done a.s.a.p. so I could be on my way home to Jacksboro. My aunt started to call some people she knew and I waited impatiently starting to do my own make up. Finally, after what seemed like forever another lady

I’m sitting with my knees tucked under my chin, waiting for my mom’s turn to be finished, so I can climb up in the hairdresser’s swiveling chair and have the big apron tied around my neck to get my hair cut. I’m singing the lyrics to my favorite song by Deseree (softly so mom doesn’t yell at me) while looking through the books of hair designs on the chair next to me. I really like the skinny models with their choppy, short-like-a-boy’s haircuts, and the more pictures I see the more and more I want to look just like them.
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
Ow. My head hurts. It has been lying against this wall for at least an hour now. I scratched the back of my head to move around my dark, curly hair. It was beginning to feel plastered against my scalp. It was a bit tangled from not brushing it for a day and my fingers did not run through it with ease; nevertheless, it felt good to keep the blood flowing. I was lying on a thin, light blue mat on the floor. My head was propped up against the cold wall as if it were a concrete pillow. My chin dug into my chest and I could feel the soft, warm material from my sleeveless sweater cushioning my jaw. I looked down. I could see the ends of my hair cascading over my shoulders. The red highlights matched quite nicely with my maroon sweater. My arms were folded over my belly and they appeared more pale than usual. My knees were bent, shooting upward like two cliffs. My baggy blue jeans covered the backs of my fake brown leather shoes. ("Christy, let me borrow your pants, the baggy ones with the big pockets. I can hide more stuff in those.")
