TALES OF 'DREAD'
Dreadlocks date back to at least 1800 B.C. when the first writing about
them was found in Indian scripture. Dreadlocks are referenced several
times in the Bible, with the following passage becoming a mantra for the
Rastafarian religious movement: "They shall not make baldness upon their
head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make
any cuttings in their flesh." -- Leviticus 21:5.
The origin of the name "dreadlocks" stems from Jamaican slaves wearing
that hairstyle as a sign of defiance after the country became
emancipated from Britain starting in the 1830s. Members of Jamaica's
Euro-centric society referred to it as a "dreadful" hairstyle.
Historical figures who wore dreadlocks include Samson, John the Baptist
and King Tut. Like Samson, some Rastafarians consider hair as their
strength and weakness will follow if cut. Others believe dreadlocks
symbolize the mane from the biblical story of the Lion of Judah, which
also is one of the titles bestowed upon all Ethiopian kings.
The popularity of Bob Marley's reggae music in the 1970s helped
dreadlocks gain mainstream acceptance in the United States.
Dreadlocks are initially formed when hair is sectioned, then twisted and
kept in place through rubber bands and wax. For maintenance, dreadlocks
should be washed at least once a week.

Gray matters;
People have strong opinions about that salt-and-pepper look
by
HANNAH MARIA HAYES
"The only thing worse than turning gray is dying it
black and looking like I was attacked with a bottle of shoe polish," the
40-something Windsor resident said. "Well, turning bald would be worse.
Or dropping dead."
Roglieri used to have a "ZZ Top" beard and pony tail down to his
mid-back until he noticed some gray hair about two years ago. He said he
had no choice but to cut off his hair and to shave off the beard. He now
keeps his hair in a flat top, with the sides and back buzzed down to
stubble.
"Now people think I'm 'Mr. Clean Cut,' but I'm really still a degenerate
at heart," Roglieri said. "I still have a moustache, which thankfully
only has a few renegade grays, which are dealt with in a swift and
appropriate manner."
Vaccaro and Roglieri aren't alone in their thoughts: A 2002 consumer
poll at HairBoutique.com asked visitors whether they
would opt to cover their gray hair or not. Fifty-two percent said they
would definitely hide it, 43 percent said they would flaunt it and 5
percent had no opinion.
The most common reason why people -- especially women -- choose to color
their hair is because they desire a more youthful look, said Mark
Anthony, a master stylist with The Oak Door Salon & Spa in Binghamton.
"There might be six different reasons why they say they want to color
their hair, but it really comes down to that," he said. "They want to
look younger."
"HAIR POWER: Hairboutique.com, one of the
Internet’s leading hair care Web sites, has recently added upscale
hair accessory maker Evita Peroni to the stable of brands it sells.
Evita Peroni hair clips sell from $8 for a ponytail clip to more than
$250 for handmade Swarovski crystal-encrusted jaw clips. Mink and
rabbit-fur pieces are expected ..."

No Hiding Behind Curls
Bobby Pins Used As Hair Decorations

The Ledger
Lakeland, Florida
"It's not just bobby pins that are cool, says Karen Shelton, CEO
of hairboutique.com., an online
accessories emporium, French hair pins are the hottest hair
accessories around.
The horseshoe-shaped pins don't hold the hair in place, but add a
decorative touch to finished hairdos.
Attached to the crest of the pin are rhinestones or flowers or other
fanciful baubles. The french pins are stuck down into the hair so only
the pretty part shows, creating an unexpected sparkle.
"If you have a gorgeous up-do, they sort of just float there --
like little Christmas lights," says Shelton.

HairBoutique.com was quoted as the source for a section of an article by
Jill Callison dealing with finding a good hairdresser. A section
of the article was titled:
Finding
the right designer
Ask for stylist referrals. Talk to friends and family for references.
Mention particular requirements and any location or cost constraints.
Check
the Yellow Pages. Stylists often list their specialties in telephone
directories.
Ask people with hair you admire. Most people will be flattered you
noticed their hair.
Check out the recommended stylists. Visit the shop and decide whether it
has a comfortable atmosphere. Take time to notice how clean and
organized it is.
Schedule a consultation only. Ask at the beginning if it is
complimentary or if there is a charge.

Hair accessory moves up to precious metals Tired of
wearing kid's accessories in your hair? Here's a fancier option: the
HairLoop, jewelry for your hair.
Company founder Jennifer Bahney created the HairLoop because she
wanted a hair accessory, "with precious metals, not cheap plastic
or nickel accessories."
Available in silver, gold and Swarovski crystals, the HairLoop looks
like a ponytail holder with jewels dangling from the leather loop. Any
woman who can pull her hair back can wear a HairLoop without fear of
it slipping out or damaging hair.
Prices range from $12 to $15 for the silver or gold-plated versions to
$80 for the 14-karat gold HairLoops.
They are available at
www.hairboutique.com
and will soon be in major department stores nationwide.
