The history of Hair Care goes back along way, colouring, adorning with flowers & jewels to create ornate styles to simple and complex braiding. Fashion trends developed from Egypt to the Renaissance period, and the 18th Century of mile-high coiffures and highly decorated curls. The roaring 20's of bobbed and waved styles, signifying the new independent, free-spirited, free-woman ethos of the day. The 1940's followed their on-screen idols, with the emphasis on feminine, romantic styles.  Soft curls falling onto the shoulders or long wavy natural looks & short, back-combed hairstyles that could be quickly styled and held in place with hair spray, softened with a long, feminine fringe.  Younger women who left their hair longer tended to wear it loose or in a simple ponytail, adorning it with flowers or ribbons during the fashionable ‘hippy’ phase. Even male styling became softer with ‘feathered’ cuts, highlights and soft layers. The “Age of Excess”, otherwise known as the 1980’s saw less constraints and more freedom of choice in styles and trends. During the 1990’s hair and beauty styles were constantly changing and pretty much anything was acceptable.
