This device helps with arthritis when you add seaweed, which can reduce pain. In turn, indulging in a foot spa treatment in the afternoon or evening can help you get a goodnight’s sleep.

18. History of Hair the Ancient Civilizations Egypt Egyptian hairstyles very much depended on the wealth, age and social group the individual circulated in. Both men and women would have shoulder-length hair or hair cut short to the nape or even clean shaven heads.

19. Greece  To contrast from the Egyptians, classical Greece hairstyles where pulled back into a chignon style and was grown much longer.  Many styles involved braiding the hair and fixing it to the head and decorating with flowers, headbands, ribbons and pieces of metal. Blondes were very rare and therefore many women tried dying their hair blonde and also red. 

20. Rome  Simple hairstyles would consist for women wearing their hair down and confining it from the face by using a band circling the head. Young girls wore a simple bun at the base of the neck. However, in the reign of the Emperor Augustus simple hairstyles changed and detailed hairstyles came into fashion.

21. In Ancient Rome hairstyles became an expression of a person’s identity as much as it is today and again the style determined the persons wealth, status, gender and age. For women, their hair indicated how attractive and wealthy she was. 

22. T he East   In the Vedic period (1700-1100BCE) they arranged that Indians should shave the whole head, leaving a lock of hair at the back or at the side, similar to young Egyptians, allowing "God to pull people into heaven" .This kind of hair cut was limited to people with high social positions over time, whilst women were to use head pieces with gems and jewels in the forehead.

23. T he Greek culture changed all this as Buddha was shown with curly hair in the style of a bun, atop his head. In the period between 320 - 550 women’s hair was generally cut short and they would use longer hair to create a style, if their hair was tied it was in a bun to the side of their head or near the nape of her neck. 

24. China  Chinese hairstyles vary depending on the age of the woman and her marital status and the reason for their hair being extremely long was because it was considered disrespectful to cut hair because it was inherited from their parents. Girls (and unmarried women) would usually wear their hair long and braided as for unmarried women. For married women this is reversed as their hair is tied up.

25. Japan In Japan women’s hairstyles where quite different from Chinese styles. In the 7th Century noble women wore their hair tight to their head with a sickle-shaped ponytail at the back ( kepatsu ). However, after this period and up until 1345 fashion dictated that women should wear their hair long and unbound as a sign of beauty. In the Edo Period (1603-1868), women took on much more elaborate styles, in particular they would wear a variety of different buns, decorated with hairsticks , ribbons, flowers and combs.

26. Africa In Africa there where many tribes and with that plenty of different customs. Masai warriors would spend hours braiding each other’s hair. They die their hair red with a natural hair pigment found in volcanic regions which is mixed with animal fat to create a paint texture.

27. America   Native Indians to America were divided in hairstyles like many African tribes. Tribes close to the East Coasts would shave most of their hair apart from a ridge of hair along the crown. Many warriors shaved their heads except for a fringe of hair around the head(known as tonsure), a single lock of hair on the crown of their head( scalplock )

28. The Western World The 5th century right up to the 15th century, known at the ’middle ages’ or the ’medieval’ period, had a strong Catholic alliance. Germanic tribes (from Germany) settled in England after it was invaded and abandoned by Roman troops in the 5th Century AD

29. The Germanics made new customs, that separated them from the Roman Empire as their hair held great significance like the Indian and African tribes. Military leaders would tie their hair in a knot atop their head to appear more intimidating to enemies as it symbolised authority, to lose ones hair would to bring shame on the individual.

30. The Anatomy of Hair

31. Parts of the Hair: Three main  regions : root, shaft, and tip Root: The part that was growing in the follicle.  This is the widest part of the hair Shaft:  The middle of the length of the hair (from the root to the tip).  This is where the hair tapers Tip:  The end of the hair farthest away from the root.  The hair is narrowest at the tip

32. Three major layers to the hair : From the outside in: cuticle, cortex, and the medulla (think "middle)

33. Cuticle: The outermost layer of the hair. It is made of keratin. The cuticle is really a series of overlapping scales - very resistant to chemical decomposition Cortex: The intervening layer of the hair (i.e., between the cuticle and the medulla). It is made of spindle shaped cell and pigment granules (these give color to the hair). Medulla (from the Latin for "marrow"): The innermost layer of the hair. It is made of cells that form a shaft through the middle of the hair.

34. Growth Stages of the Hair: 3 major growth stages: anagen , catagen , telogen Anagen Stage : The active growth phase of the hair follicle. Catagen Stage : The transition period between growth and rest. Hair continues to grow, but at a decreasing rate. The root bulb looks elongated from being pushed out of the follicle. Telogen : The rest period for the follicle. The current hair is shed and no new growth takes place for a period of time.

35. What Is the Biological Importance of Human Hair? Hair Protects Against UV Rays and Debris The hair on our heads protects our abnormally large brains (in relation to other mammals) from the harmful effects of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. While some believe that the hair shaft acts like fiber optics, thereby facilitating the passage of UV light, the natural snags in hair diffuse the harmful rays. In addition, our eyebrows protect our eyes from UV light and deflect debris.

36. Hair Helps Us Detect Harmful Substances Because hair retains concentrations of heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic and the like), it can be used when testing for these harmful metals in the human body. The concentration of these substances in human hair is, in fact, ten times more than that found in the urine or blood.

37. Hair Protects Against Excessive Heat Hair helps to keep the head cool. Human hair on the scalp provides shade from the sun. The low density of Afro-hair, for instance, along with its coiled structure, helps to circulate air around the scalp while shutting out ambient heat.

38. Hair Insulates Our Bodies In cold weather, hair helps to prevent a drop in body temperature. Because we are literally covered in hair, the skin has an easier time retaining heat when temperatures drop. Millions of hairs act as insulators by trapping body heat and keeping it close to the skin.

39. Hair Helps Us Maintain Equilibrium Hair cells are instrumental in helping us keep our sense of equilibrium (orientation with respect to gravity). When our bodies accelerate, decelerate, spin or fall, sensory hair cells are prompted by a sequence of events within the ear to release transmitter chemicals, which in turn stimulate sensory neurons to give us our orientation.
