That shift in hairstyle had such lasting significance because it symbolized the burgeoning independence of women in an otherwise oppressively misogynistic environment. Women of all races and backgrounds across the U.S. adopted the cut, shirking the idea that long hair was the sole keeper of a woman\u2019s femininity and instead inviting additional expressions of womanhood and humanity into the cultural fold. But our hair styles have served as indicators of our stations in life since the dawn of civilization\u2014from one look at a person\u2019s hair throughout history, one may have been able to tell if they were in the armed forces, if they were lavishly wealthy or poor, if they were involved in politics or farming. And, as with anything else, haircuts and styles vary in cultural and social significance along racial lines, especially in the U.S. To learn more about the illustrious history of haircuts, we chatted with Rachael Gibson, a hair historian based in the UK who runs the Instagram account&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ffa180;\"><a style=\"color: #ffa180;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thehairhistorian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@thehairhistorian<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<h2>Learned behavior<\/h2>\n<p>According to Gibson, \u201cPeople have been cutting their hair as long as we\u2019ve had hair\u2014and for many of the same reasons we do now.\u201d She cites hygiene, fashion, and practicality among the top reasons for cutting one\u2019s hair in ancient times. Sound familiar? \u201cHair cutting has also often been associated with religion, ritual, and spirituality,\u201d she says. \u201cHair has long been considered sacred and the cutting and removal of it was therefore often closely linked to major life events.\u201d As for the tools we use today to manage our lengths, Gibson says they\u2019re old news. \u201cSome of the earliest scissors found date back to Mesopotamia and may well have been used for cutting hair, although there is definitely a lot of evidence of people using razors too as hair was often shaved off completely for hygiene purposes (with wigs being worn instead),\u201d she says. Lice? Nice try. \u201cHair tools are absolutely nothing new\u2014along with razors, ancient Egyptian and Assyrian curling tongs, combs, and pins tell us that people have styled and dressed their hair for as long as humans have been around. Roman hairdressing scissors have been found, and it\u2019s remarkable how little they\u2019ve changed since [ancient times]. Hairdressing scissors are quite different to \u2018normal\u2019 scissors so we know that\u2019s what they were used for.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Style me pretty<\/h2>\n<p>Haircuts have a vast history that varies significantly around the globe. \u201cHair has changed drastically throughout history for religious reasons, statements of class, tribal belonging, military ranking, practicality, and of course fashion trends,\u201d Gibson says. \u201cCombined with the diversity of textures and hair types in the world, there is almost no end to the variety of cuts and styles we\u2019ve seen and continue to see. Today we are seemingly in a place where a higher majority of cuts are not so clearly delineated as an indicator of class, marital status, religion, or any of the other myriad reasons hair is cut, but there are still cuts which very distinctly make a statement; from the perhaps comical resurgence and opinions around mullets to the deeply political Afro and continual policing of Black hair.\u201d The topic of hair has always taken on different, and often elevated, meaning for marginalized communities, wherein there is solidarity in presenting similar styles that challenge the status quo. The history of <span style=\"color: #ffa180;\"><a style=\"color: #ffa180;\" href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/queer-identity-mustache.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">queer hairstyles<\/a><\/span>, for example, is extremely rich, especially for queer and trans women and femmes whose physical presentations are closely scrutinized.<\/p>\n<h2>Deeper roots<\/h2>\n<p>Though white, European styles across categories\u2014from clothing to makeup to hair\u2014are falsely presented as the global standard, the history of European haircutting is of course not the entire world\u2019s history of haircutting. Throughout much of ancient Africa, for example, there were of course innumerable variances from tribe to tribe and region to region, but in general hair held different significance than it did throughout most of the European empires. \u201cHistorically, hairstyling in Africa was often closely linked to place, status, and symbolism,\u201d says Gibson. \u201cBraiding and styling has so much history in and of itself, and generally has more depth and meaning than the average styling of European hair.\u201d She also added that \u201cthe fact that <span style=\"color: #ffa180;\"><a style=\"color: #ffa180;\" href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/beauty-school-at-length.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Black hair is so often not taught in hairdressing school<\/a><\/span> and remains not part of the curriculum here in the UK, speaks to the ongoing work that needs to be done to reach equality.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Clippers to culture<\/h2>\n<p>Not only do barber shops and salons reflect broader culture by recreating trends and hairstyles, they actually create culture, too. These establishments throughout history have functioned as community gathering spaces where vital information is dispersed amongst people. According to Gibson, \u201cBarber shops and salons have always been at the heart of communities.\u201d In Ancient Greece, \u201cbarber shops were acknowledged as a gathering place for intellectuals and a place to share gossip, presumably because the very intimate act of cutting\/washing\/shaving hair puts you in a state of feeling more comfortable sharing,\u201d Gibson says. \u201cThis sense of community, combined with the specific rituals of dressing different hair types, is probably what makes salons and barbershops popular gathering spaces for [diasporic communities especially] across the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Here to stay<\/h2>\n<p>Reflecting on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the haircutting industry, Gibson has some uplifting thoughts. \u201cOne thing that the lockdown seems to have taught the world is how important hairdressing is for wellbeing and mental health,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s not just the idea that we like to look good (although that\u2019s also important and nothing to be ashamed of), but the idea of community and a \u2018safe space\u2019 that salons often take on. It\u2019s an extension [of] the idea of self care and feeling part of community.\u201d Gibson believes that, no matter what other massive societal challenges we will face, \u201cWe will still hold hairdressers in high esteem and see it as a value service. It\u2019s one of few jobs that can\u2019t be taken by a machine\u2014and even if tech gets there, the human connection is what people love about hairdressers. People might have learnt how to buzz their hair or <span style=\"color: #ffa180;\"><a style=\"color: #ffa180;\" href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/at-home-beauty-treatments.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">trim their fringe in lockdown<\/a><\/span>, but I don\u2019t think anything will ever replace the sense of community and closeness that you achieve through the act of cutting hair.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Make the cut. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":14874,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,4,403],"tags":[260,258,259,257],"class_list":["post-9120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cut-style","category-hair-tips","category-styling","tag-long","tag-short","tag-shoulder","tag-very-short"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Evolution of Haircuts |<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"People have always had hair, but how did they take care of it hundreds of years ago?
