Whilst researching into the general history of hair I was able to find a timeline relevant to that of hair in the book 'classical beauty'. This is an informative look at the way in which cosmetics developed throughout the era, as well as disease such as small pox, leaving women permanently scarred and developing new products to combat the appearance of them. Chemicals such as ground plaster were used in 1770 to create a new kind of lipstick for women, whereas in 1786 a large tax on cosmetics was set in britain, which effected the cost of most women, prompting home recipes to be followed at home and often resulting in dangerous chemicals again being applied onto the face.
