If we look at the history of hairdressing development in China, we will have a better understanding of hairdressing.

Since 5,000 years, the Chinese nation has created splendid culture, made great contributions to the process of world civilization and enjoyed the reputation of "ancient civilization". China's hair styles are extremely rich and have a long tradition, occupying a glorious page in the whole history of China's cultural development. Chang Xiang is in the vast historical records and cultural relics in China, and there are countless records about hairstyles and their decorations. All these provide extremely valuable reference materials for us to study and understand different hairstyles and hairstyles evolution in different historical periods today.

In the ancient Paleolithic age, human beings lived a very simple and primitive cave life, and their goal in life was only to eat their stomachs. Because sharp instruments were not invented at that time, people at that time always had long hair and let it grow naturally, which was very messy. For the convenience of work and life, long hair is broken and cut short with stones to keep it hanging naturally.

By the Neolithic age, people had mastered the production and use of production tools. By the time of Yangshao culture 5000 years ago, human beings had tended to settle down more stably. Humans at this time, perhaps for the convenience of labor, have changed their usual hair into a bun. Later, out of communication and aesthetic consciousness, I began to know how to comb my hair.

With the development of social economy and the continuous improvement of human living standards, from Xia Shang Dynasty to Western Zhou Dynasty, the ruling class basically improved a set of crown service system. It reflects the political, economic and cultural level of human society from one side.

Because the ruling class also paid more and more attention to their appearance, and hair style and its decoration were the most prominent and important part, therefore, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, philosophers rose. A hundred schools of thought contend, social thoughts tend to be active, and clothing is also in a state of blooming.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the whole country was unified, internal and external exchanges were further strengthened, and various hairstyles and their decorations became more and more exquisite. In the heyday of China's feudal society, Sui and Tang Dynasties, the society and politics were enlightened, the economy was developed, the culture was prosperous and the society was well-off. At this time, women's hairstyles and decorations have reached the peak of history.

Since the Song and Ming Dynasties, social development has entered a trough, people's thoughts have gradually become conservative, and hairdressing decoration has basically stagnated.

Since 1840 Opium War, China has gradually become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and the feudal customs that lasted for more than two thousand years have been greatly challenged. After the Revolution of 1911. Feudal rule was overthrown in one fell swoop, all kinds of imprisonments that bound people were gradually untied, folk customs also changed greatly, people's hairstyles and decorations also changed and opened up.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the feudal society was disintegrating, western culture and art gradually infiltrated, and folk hairstyles and decorations were also influenced by it, developing in a bright and concise direction. Young women partially retain the traditional bun style. He covered his forehead with a lock of short hair, which was called "front bangs".

The bangs of the former, if traced back to the source, come from the ancient hair style. After Guangxu Gengzi Year in Qing Dynasty, this hairstyle appeared in all ages. The most striking feature of this hairstyle is a short lock of hair on the forehead. Because of the different changes of this short hair, it has experienced the evolution of white characters, fishing, swallowtail and the sky in a short popular period, so it is also called "beauty".

After the Revolution of 1911, cutting hair became fashionable. In 1930s, foreign women's perms were introduced to China through several coastal trading ports, and a few dignitaries sought western perms, which led to fashionable hairstyles. For a time, most people's hair accessories advocated western style and followed suit. During this period, China's hairdressing received new influences, which also changed the previous national traditions.

With the national uprising after the Revolution of 1911, China has entered a new historical period, and people's hair styles have undergone great changes, from the traditional bun to the concise direction.

During the founding of the People's Republic of China, people were influenced by politics and their hair styles changed greatly. The fundamental change of men's hairstyles is the rise of three-seven, four-six and two-way hairstyles, which gives China men a new image, and women's three-way hairstyles are born one after another.

After 1970s, Shanghai and China began to have perms, which made China's hairstyle enter a new historical period.

In the 1980s, with the development of China's reform and opening up, great changes have taken place in hair styles, and people began to pursue new hair styles, resulting in fashionable hair styles.

Among them, blowing has the greatest influence. Men's hair-blowing 37, 46, medium and boss head (Shenyang Lezitou) aircraft type; Women blow evening dresses with high bangs and chrysanthemum heads. They were so hot that they cut their long, broken hair. For a time, hair salons sprang up like mushrooms after rain. People are in high spirits. With the pace of reform and opening up, China's beauty salons have entered a period of evolution, reform, prosperity and progress. Later, influenced by the west, hair dyeing also resurfaced. Yellow (bleached hair) became popular. From 2000 to 2003, still influenced by the west, perming and dyeing hair gradually became popular.

Many schools go abroad to invite barbers to perform. Imitating, studying abroad and introducing products and equipment have undoubtedly played a leading role in hairdressing in China. From some foreign education, such as flaunting and sassoon, entering China, let us realize the achievements made by foreign hairdressing circles in hairdressing. I have seen a solid foundation and professional knowledge from the courses of junior college, and I have seen the efforts and gratifying achievements of western hairdressing development from the openness and bold innovation of westerners.

China and western developed countries have different degrees of development, different social systems, different living habits and different aesthetic consciousness. What is the final result of imitation?

China has China's cultural tradition and historical background, different national conditions, different races and different human characteristics, so it should be different from the West and have a new human hairstyle suitable for our national conditions.

Throughout the history of human cultural development, hairstyles are diverse and colorful, and all kinds of hairstyles are deeply influenced by different historical periods, different nationalities and different regions.

The historical changes and evolution of hair styles reflect the political, economic, cultural and image level of a nation from one side. Therefore, in the history of human development, hairstyle always reflects the replacement and development, progress and prosperity of society.

Hairstyle plays an important role in human life and has made indelible contributions. Hairstyles in modern life are not only for the needs of labor, life and social etiquette, but also for combing hair into a certain style for various needs. Modern hairstyles are people's efforts to achieve specific effects and embody different personalities and aesthetic standards according to different needs and desires. In our words, it is to enhance the temperament and dignity of men in China and the image and charm of women in China. This puts higher demands on our hairdressers in China: Only by designing more hairstyles suitable for China people can we change the overall image of China people.

A long history has given birth to the folk hairdressing art in China. Many years. Many excellent folk hairdressers have sprung up all over the country. In view of China's physical characteristics, hair quality and aesthetic consciousness, they created distinctive representative images and performance skills recognized by local people. However, due to conservative ideological constraints and closed contact with the outside world, most of them failed to carry forward, making their skills like a flash in the pan.

Now China has entered the new century and is in line with international standards. The same is true of hairdressing. We should find a road that suits China's national conditions and belongs to our own development in China.

Unity is strength. I hope colleagues from all over the motherland can make some contributions to the hairdressing industry in China on the road of common development. Let's give up personal conservatism and brainstorm with skilled colleagues all over the country. Let's write a modern history of hairdressing in China. Let's work together to create hairdressing theory and technology with China characteristics, and create tomorrow's history with the efforts of our generation.
