Singe
A singe is a slight scorching, burn or treatment with flame. This may be due to an accident, such as scorching one's hair when lighting a gas fire, or a deliberate method of treatment or removal of hair or other fibres.
==Hairdressing==
A singe is a treatment available at a barber's. A lit taper (candle) or other device is used to lightly burn and shrivel the hair. The practice of singeing was popular approximately a century ago; it was believed that hair had "fluid" in it and singeing would trap the fluid in. Singeing is supposed to have beneficial effects - sealing cut ends, closing up the follicles, preventing the hair from bleeding (This belief has since been debunked.〔(Google Books )〕) and encouraging it to grow. Singeing is still sometimes used to bond natural hair to hair extensions.〔(Google Books )〕
Primitive cultures have also used singeing as a means to trim scalp or body hair, as a part of normal grooming or during ritual activity.〔(Google Books )〕〔(Google Books )〕
Sir Francis Drake was famously said to have ''singed the King of Spain's beard'' when he raided Cadiz and burnt the Spanish fleet.
