Face Masks: Gloves Wear heavy-duty industrial gloves in leather when working with dangerous tools or materials. Lighter vinyl gloves protect against oils, greases, and most chemicals, while natural rubber gloves - stronger than most kitchen gloves - withstand chemicals and resist tears and abrasions. Knitted gloves with latex-reinforced palm and back are good for carrying glass and metal. Face masks To avoid inhaling airborne particles and fumes, a dust mask or respirator is vital. The simplest mask consists of a Filter holder that molds to the shape of your face and takes a replaceable cotton gauze pad to cover the nose and mouth.
Prevalence. The most detailed reports of headhunting have come from Southeast Asia, where it was practiced until very recently. In Assam, now a state in northern India, heads were taken by parties of raiders and placed on special piles of stones in the raiders' village. It was thought that the victim's virtue would pass from the head into the stones; the head was then disposed of. In some areas, the head was buried face downward, while in others it was hung in a tree or displayed in a bachelors' hall.
In Melanesia, captured heads were in some areas preserved by mummification and in others were worn as masks. In New Zealand, the Maori dried heads so that the features and the elaborate tatooing remained recognizable. They were sometimes bought by Europeans.
The most important qualities for hair are that it be healthy, shining, and in a flattering, easy-to-manage style. Many fashion magazines suggest hair styles according to the shape of the face in order to make the face resemble as closely as possible the perfect oval. The circularity of a round face may be minimized by a sleek, controlled style with side bangs. A square face needs a style that cuts across the square corners at the temples and is full around the jaw. The best style for a long face also rounds off the corners at the temples and is short. For a triangular face, a narrow chin should be filled out with chin-length hair, while a wide chin may be minimized with wide bangs. In finding the right hairstyle, however, a woman should also consider the proportions of her whole figure, the texture of her hair, her skill in handling it, and the character of her life. |
