Not in the beauty industry but love history. Why not start with Queen Cleopatra and her beauty rituals. The Egyptians both men and women used make-up like kohl for their face. Queen Cleo used milk in her bath's and had her hair washed with fruits and berries. Suggest these essential products that are used today. From there then u can go to the turn of the centuries when perm and the straightening comb became invented and used. She could also mention like the Geisha women in China used steam and such to do the same and continue through the times. Good luck.

To me whats makes a guy or woman pleasing is the way they cope with others and would not choose with the help of seems! i think of inner splendor is a lot greater significant and a sturdy character and humor is what i seek for! i come across people like that pleasing because of the fact i've got have been given lots of acquaintances like that and that they've never betrayed me! :) 15 - 20,united statesA
