TURKEY
Turkey is a rapidly modernizing country with one foot in Europe and one in the Middle East. It's not all oriental splendor, mystery, intrigue and whirling dervishes but it is a spicy maelstrom of history knocking up against a pacy present. Ottoman literature and court music were mostly religious, and both sound pompous and lugubrious to Western ears. Ataturk changed Turkey's cultural picture overnight, encouraging representative painting, sculpture, literature, Western music (he loved opera), dance and drama. Recently, Ottoman arts such as paper marbling and shadow-puppet plays have been enjoying resurgence.

ABOUT HAIR

Each strand consists of three layers: cuticle, cortex and medulla.
The cuticle is the top layer of hair. Like the skin, it is made up of a protein called keratin. It is transparent but very strong. It is layered fish-like scales and helps the cuticle protect the next layer. These scales can have as many as 7 overlapping strata, or as few as 3, bound together with a putty like substance. The cuticle reflects light, giving the hair its luster. If the cuticle is damaged, hair is dull and lacks luster.
The cortex is the thickest part of the hair strands and makes up more than 75% of the hair, providing strength and elasticity.

UNITE HAIRDRESSERS! Hard-working professionals in many other fields are already recognized annually with a day, a week or even a month officially designated for them. For instance teachers, nurses, and even secretaries are all honored at certain times of the year for their contribution to society. They are all deserving of this recognition and so too are hairdressers, the unsung heroes behind the scene who strive to make people look their best.

Act now and be a small part of history as we make our mark on the calendars of the world so that hairdressers can finally earn the recognition and respect of the public.
