"People don't want to be haunted by the ghosts of the people from whom the hair has come. There is still a 'yuk' factor to the whole idea of buying and wearing other people's body parts," she says. The whole supply chain is shrouded in secrecy from beginning to end."  From wigs to weaves and hair extensions, the market for human hair is enormous. But few know where these lustrous locks come from and the journey they take across the globe.
Read More > – Hair Part Theory –The Hair Part Theory states, The way a person parts [his or her] hair is related to many subconscious associations when assessed by others. Each hair part type initiates cycles of behavior toward, and response from, the individual. Over time, these cycles affect personality development.  What Is Your Hair Part Saying About You?The Effects of Hair Parting on Social Appraisal and Personal Development By Catherine Walter and John Walter Surprisingly, a hair part has a crucial impact on interpersonal relationships by affecting immediate character appraisal, perceived personality traits, self-perception and self-development! The Hair Part Theory was developed by a brother-sister team trained, respectively, in nuclear physics and cultural anthropology. Their revolutionary theory is now being made available to the general public, so that all individuals can have more control over automatic and mostly unconscious assessments made of their personalities by others. John and Catherine Walter also produce the True Mirror®, a mirror that does not reverse the viewer’s image and which therefore allows an accurate self-assessment. A left hair part draws unconscious attention to the activities that are controlled by the left hemisphere of the brain, i.e. activities traditionally attributed to masculinity. A right hair part draws unconscious attention to the activities that are controlled by the right hemisphere of the brain, i.e. activities traditionally attributed to femininity. A man who parts his hair on the right, and who is striving for positive assessment in a traditionally male role is at risk for having difficulties in interpersonal relationships, since he is sending a mixed, subconscious message by emphasizing the activities of the brain traditionally attributed to femininity. A woman who parts her hair on the left, and who is striving for positive assessment in a traditionally male role (for example, in business or politics) will be taken more seriously than a woman with a right part, who is emphasizing mental processes that are traditionally attributed to femininity. Use the links below to access the full theory paper, as well as an analysis of United States Presidents, Vice Presidents, state Governors (in office 9/98), and the Senators and Representatives of the 105th Congress according to their hair part choice, with an emphasis on those who part their hair on the right. Additionally, a list of famous men who wear a right part is included, since these men illustrate some of the surprising ways that a right hair part affects personality and perception of personality.

RadioLab: Mirror, Mirror The Atlantic: The Mirror of Dorian Gray  I was hanging out with a few friends recently and we were talking about hair (of course we were) and someone mentioned that there wouldn't be any more blondes in a few hundred years. I'd never heard this before so I thought I'd research their comment.
The Claim: A study undertaken by the World Health Organization concluded that natural blondes are likely to be extinct within 200 years. Well, this is completely FALSE. The problem is that blonde hair is caused by a recessive gene. In order for a child to have blonde hair, it must have the gene on both sides of the family in the grandparents' generation. The researchers also believe that so-called bottle blondes may be to blame for the demise of their natural rivals. They suggest that dyed-blondes are more attractive to men who choose them as partners over true blondes. But Jonathan Rees, professor of dermatology at the University of Edinburgh said it was unlikely blondes would die out completely. "Genes don't die out unless there is a disadvantage of having that gene or by chance. They don't disappear," he told BBC News Online. "The only reason blondes would disappear is if having the gene was a disadvantage and I do not think that is the case. "The frequency of blondes may drop but they won't disappear." [source: BBC News] (Source: Science: HowStuffWorks) SNOPES.com also debunked this claim. And what about redheads? Are they going extinct?  Hair clippers are operated by a pair of handles, which are alternately squeezed together and released.
Barbers used them to cut hair close and fast. The hair was picked up in locks and the head was rapidly depilated. Such haircuts became popular among boys, mostly in schools, and young men in the military and in prisons. While they were widely used in the distant past, the advent and reduction in cost of electric hair clippers has led to their largely replacing manual clippers. Some barbers in Western countries continue to use them for trimming. They are also used in the Russian army: when conscripts enter boot camp, they cut their hair close to the skin, sometimes using manual clippers. (wikipedia - hair clipper) When Was the First Hair Clipper Invented? The first mechanical hair clipper---a hand-held instrument for cutting various lengths of male or female hair---came out of Serbia in the 19th century. Professionals in the industry today use clippers for trimming mustaches and beards. Dog groomers rely on hair clippers to produce canine styles. Adaptation of the hair clipper to work on sheep shearing revolutionized this industry because of the speed at which the clippers turned a herd of sheep wool into a mound of profit. The development of cordless trimmers and clippers for personal use offered more grooming options. Today, hair clippers continue to provide convenience. Nikola Bizumic Born 1823 in Neradin, Serbia, into a rural peasant's life, the young Bizumic found work in the Fruska Mountains, breeding pigs. His turbulent life made him restless and fed up with his animal husbandry duties, so he one day fled to the city of Ruma. Fate led him to barber Petar Javonovic, who needed an assistant, and the young man apprenticed with the barber. Sometime in the mid 19th century, Bizumic revolutionized the barbering world with his invention of the first manual hair clippers. Nikola Bizumic died in 1906. Leo J. Wahl A young high-school junior in Sterling, Illinois, Leo Wahl used his experiments and ideas to take a small electromagnetic motor to the next level while still a student at the University of Illinois. Using his education and talent in engineering, Wahl designed a hand-held medical massager for his uncle, Dr. Frank Wahl. Doctor Wahl opened a manufacturing plant in Sterling to produce and sell the invention. During this time, the young inventor sold many of the massagers to barber shops, where he noticed many of the tools needed improvements. War Opens Wahl's Opportunities When Dr. Wahl left to serve in the Spanish-American War in 1898, Leo took over his uncle's manufacturing business, where he continued to experiment on an electric hair clipper for more than a decade. Having perfected his invention by 1921, Leo patented his final design and the newly founded Wahl Clipper Corp. presented the world with the first electric hair clipper. Working With Barbers The executive Leo Wahl worked with barbers from coast to coast for input to design more efficient and convenient hair clippers. Until his death in 1957, Leo Wahl continued to make improvements to the hair clipper, while introducing other hair care tools to the world. Descendants of Leo Wahl still operate the Wahl Clipper Co. today. Sidney Horstman The second youngest of 12 surviving children of a German clock maker, Sidney Horstman was born on April 4, 1887, in Bath, England. Known for his breakthrough designs in automobile suspensions and other motor components, Horstman formed a motorcar company in 1913. After closing his company in 1929, Horstman Inc. continued developing other innovative automobile and industrial products. Sometime in the 1940s, he invented the first built-in adjustable-blade electric hair clipper. This feature allowed barbers to adjust the blade to work more easily with different hair lengths. The Horstman Co. discontinued manufacturing the hair clippers in the 1960s. (eHow - first hair clipper invented) |
