EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the fascinating world of early 20th century beauty treatments with this image of a woman undergoing a Ray-Lamp treatment at the Hairdressers Annual Exhibition in 1928. The Ray-Lamp, an intriguing contraption of the era, was one of many strange and innovative devices used to enhance personal appearance. The woman, dressed in fashionable 1920s attire, wears a pair of Ray-Lamps over her eyes, resembling oversized metal blinkers. These lamps, powered by electricity, were believed to stimulate the hair follicles and promote hair growth, as well as improve complexion and reduce wrinkles. The treatment was also marketed as a means to improve eyesight and alleviate headaches. The Ray-Lamp treatment gained popularity during the 1920s, a decade known for its obsession with new technologies and modern conveniences. The allure of these gadgets and machines, promising quick and effective results, drew countless women to salons and beauty parlors across the country. This photograph, taken at the Hairdressers Annual Exhibition, showcases the Ray-Lamp treatment in action. The woman's expression suggests a sense of curiosity and intrigue, as she submits herself to the latest beauty trend. The surrounding atmosphere is filled with a mix of excitement and anticipation, as other attendees observe and discuss the latest coiffure innovations. The Ray-Lamp treatment, along with other bizarre beauty contraptions of the era, offers a glimpse into the rich history of beauty trends and the lengths women went to maintain their youth and allure. This image is a testament to the enduring fascination with beauty and the role of technology in shaping our perceptions of personal appearance.
