A hairstyle, hairdo, or haircut refers to the styling of hair, usually on the human scalp. Sometimes, this could also mean an editing of facial or body hair. The fashioning of hair can be considered an aspect of personal grooming, fashion, and cosmetics, although practical, cultural, and popular considerations also influence some hairstyles.
The oldest known depiction of hair styling is hair braiding
which dates back about 30,000 years. In history, women's hair was often
elaborately and carefully dressed in special ways. From the time of the
Roman Empire[citation needed] until the Middle Ages, most women grew their hair as long
as it would naturally grow. Between the late 15th century and the 16th
century, a very high hairline on the forehead was considered attractive.
Around the same time period, European men often wore their hair cropped
no longer than shoulder-length. In the early 17th century, male
hairstyles grew longer, with waves or curls being considered desirable.
The male wig was pioneered by King Louis XIII of France
(1601–1643) in 1624. Perukes or periwigs for men were introduced into
the English-speaking world with other French styles in 1660. Late
17th-century wigs were very long and wavy, but became shorter in the
mid-18th century, by which time they were normally white. Short hair for
fashionable men was a product of the Neoclassical movement. In the early 19th century the male beard, and also moustaches and sideburns,
made a strong reappearance. From the 16th to the 19th century, European
women's hair became more visible while their hair coverings grew
smaller. In the middle of the 18th century the pouf
style developed. During the First World War, women around the world
started to shift to shorter hairstyles that were easier to manage. In
the early 1950s women's hair was generally curled and worn in a variety
of styles and lengths. In the 1960s, many women began to wear their hair
in short modern cuts such as the pixie cut, while in the 1970s, hair tended to be longer and looser. In both the 1960s and 1970s many men and women wore their hair very long and straight. In the 1980s, women pulled back their hair with scrunchies. During the 1980s, punk hairstyles were adopted by many people.
From the copper and lead ore that the ancient Egyptians used to create the world's first cosmetics
to the scientifically advanced products of today that can do everything
from hide pores, smooth complexions, and turn the pale green of your eyes
a vivid shade of emerald, makeup has been an integral part of humankind
for thousands of years. Over the centuries, women used burnt matches to
darken their eyes, berries to stain their lips and young boys' urine to fade their freckles. They even swallowed ox blood in some misguided attempt to improve their complexions.
Women throughout history put their health at risk with many
of their homemade cosmetics. In some cultures, for example, women used
arsenic, lead, mercury, and even leeches to give themselves the pale
appearance deemed beautiful in the old days. Thankfully, we've come a
long way from the days of using toxic and deadly mixtures to enhance our
looks.
Today's multibillion dollar cosmetic industry must meet
strict government regulations about what it can and cannot include in
products and must follow safe manufacturing guidelines. Today, the most
serious injury you're likely to receive from your cosmetics is an
irritation from a product that is too harsh for your skin, or an
allergic rash from a fragrance or a preservative in the product. Yet,
despite decades of safety testing and a safety record unparalleled in
many industries, there are many myths circulating about the dangers of
cosmetic ingredients.

The term cosmetic packaging is used for primary packaging and secondary packaging of cosmetic products.[citation needed]
Primary packaging, also called cosmetic container, is housing the
cosmetic product. It is in direct contact with the cosmetic product.
Secondary packaging is the outer wrapping of one or several cosmetic
container(s). An important difference between primary and secondary
packaging is that any information that is necessary to clarify the
safety of the product must appear on the primary package. Otherwise,
much of the required information can appear on just the secondary
packaging.
Cosmetic packaging is standardized by the ISO 22715, set by the International Organization for Standardization[citation needed][28] and regulated by national or regional regulations such as those issued by the EU or the FDA.
Marketers and manufacturers of cosmetic products must be compliant to
these regulations to be able to market their cosmetic products in the
corresponding areas of jurisdiction.
