There is also discrimination shown through the jobs that the characters had. In chapter Black Hair gary says, “ Most of the workers were mexican or black, though a few redneck whites worked there… Among the Mexicans I had few friends, because I was different” (Cisneros 119). Working for this hard labor company trying to get buy on not much, Gary had been discriminated upon and put into groups for his work based on his race. He couldn't have as great jobs as other who were higher ranking because he wasn't completely white, and he was a chicana.…

Hair spray (or hair lacquer) is a common household aqueous solution that is used to keep hair stiff or in a certain style. Weaker than hair gel, hair wax, or glue, it is sprayed to hold styles for a short period of time. Using a pump or aerosol spray nozzle it sprays evenly over the hair. Hairspray was first developed and manufactured in 1948 by Chase Products Company, based in Broadview, Illinois.Its active ingredient is a suitable polymer or the chemical elastesse. Elastesse is a form of liquid elastic that keeps the hair stiff and firm without snapping. Pytocalcious, an ingredient in hair spray, lowers the amount of minerals in the hair's root causing the hair to become stiff, or polyvinylpyrrolidone. Excessive use or lack of washing after hair spray may lead to dull or damaged hair. Some hair sprays are scented or have color. Hair spray is an easy way to hold hair styles for a short period of time. Hairsprays belong to a class of personal care products that help hair to hold a desired style. These products contain film forming ingredients that are applied as a fine mist. When dry, these chemicals form tiny glue-like spots that hold the hair shafts together. Hairsprays are formulated as aerosols that are powered by pressurized gasses or non-aerosols that are dispensed by manually depressing a pump.Hair spray is extremely flammable, more so before it is dry. The result of ignition is moderate to serious burns to the hair and upper torso, sometimes resulting in death.…

“This was my first really big step toward self-degradation: when I endured all of that pain, literally burning my flesh to have it look like a white man 's hair. I had joined that multitude of Negro men and women in America who are brainwashed into believing that the black people are "inferior" — and white people "superior" — that they will even violate and mutilate their God-created…
The younger a person starts tanning, the worse their skin can get. A younger girl or boy starts can also have a higher risk of skin cancer, skin harm, or age a lot earlier. Wether you are artificial tanning, or sun tanning, it is still not good for you. Sun tanning provides vitamin D though, so it is healthier than a tanning bed. Because of the different rays, tanning beds are more dangerous than tanning out in the sun during the summer, or at the beach.…
Hello my name is Chassidy Mitchem I would absolutely love to be a part of your cosmetology program. I love to do hair and, make up. Doing hair is something I enjoy doing in my free time. It’s a way to get away from people and let my mind explore into better things. I enjoy looking and trying new hair styles and colors. I have done makeup and hair for Homecoming court and Grand March. It would be an absolute dream to get into this school and have some hands on time with the things I love doing while learning more about Cosmetology. Cosmetology is very important to the world because someone will always want their hair done or make up done. Most people only want to go to a professional so they know they will be getting the best of their money. You could also be able to set up your own business around your area. I differ from a lot of my peers because no one really understands the importance of Cosmetology the way I do. Everyone thinks it useless. Cosmetology is just as important as other jobs because someone will always need you. There will always be someone needing their eye brows done or maybe there nails especially during homecoming and prom or even a wedding. I’ve talked to a couple people and got some really interesting opinions. Some people has told me I wouldn’t make it and some people has told me I would, but my motto is “Never give up, because you never know how close you are to fulfilling your dream.” I plan on getting this degree and opening my own salon and I feel that it will give me knowledge I need to know for success. I learned to do this at a young age and I feel very strong about this career. I believe this will be the field I dedicate myself to. I hope to be attending this college at whatever time the school year would…

Bleaching, is a way to remove color by lightening the hair. Bleach reacts with the melanin to remove the color away causing an irreversible chain reaction. Although the melanin is still there the oxidized molecules are…
Going from a brunette to a blonde then finally dying my hair silver was quite the transformation. Being at school and experiencing a handful of different reactions was without a doubt foreseen. Grasping that my culture frowned upon this new look brought a dimmer to the decision. However, the acceptance from my peers and teachers was incomprehensible. My choice was admired and showcased a new perspective of what it meant to thrive in what one believes is intended for…
In present day media, there are numerous stereotypes of people that can be found, such as the popular jock or the dumb cheerleader. These stereotypes are displayed on television shows and others forms of media to add humour and make the shows more relatable to the viewer since many schools have such stereotypes. Many forms of media use social stereotypes as a way to provide the audience with a quick common understanding of the characters, so they base the stereotypes on their audience. Other forms of media use stereotypes to take the audience on a journey of social differences. Nevertheless, there are always a few stereotypes that are usually present in many forms of media, such as the “popular one”, the “dumb one”, the “smart one”, and so on.…
To this day, African American culture has grown tremendously and has become more popular among all of the races. Not only has it become popular but it has also stirred up a lot of controversy. One of the aspects of African American culture that has become popular and stirred up a lot of controversy is Black women and their natural hair. Black women are really starting to embrace their natural hair and love the skin they’re in but there are also a lot of people in society tearing them down. A lot of Black women have very curly natural hair and when they don’t feel like managing their hair they wear protective styles like braids or faux locks. Because of these styles, African American women have been denied jobs and opportunities to prosper in…
