The crest

Every day we use some basic stuff that makes our lifes more simple, for example the hair dryer, kettle, mobile phones etc. In this episode of 'Speak if it's Greek', I want to tell you about a thing we couldn't live without.

Women use it definitely more often than men, but we have a good reason, that's why almost every woman has at least once in her purse! People use it especially in the morning, because without it we would look a bit...hmm...weird. Do you know already what I'm talking about? 

It is the CREST. Nowadays it is one of the most important tools of the trade for hairdressers. What about some facts-the crest has been known 5000 thousands years ago and people who had it, were very respectable and highly placed. It was also used as a very crude form of seducing. The first crest was made from fishbones, after some time from wood or other animal bones. Currently the crest is almost always plastic.

Do you think that the Greeks were the first people who used this simple but irreplacable object?
