    Before the colour process is started it is essential that a skin test be carried at least 24 hours prior to the chemical service. A skin test is done to eliminate the chance of an allergic reaction to the external contact of chemicals such as PPD (purified protein derivative), or an internal reaction such as asthma, or both! To do a skin test you need to first mix a small amount of tint with the same peroxide that will be used in the colour service. For Rachel I need to mix Kolosten Perfect 8/07 with Welloxon Perfect 12% using a ratio of 1:1 the same mixture of what I want to use in the colour service. I then need to clean an area behind the ear and apply a small amount of the colour mixture. I then need to ask Rachel to report any…

    There are many traits which I have that co-respond with the blue card. Sympathetic is a key trait in which I use when describing myself to others. When I watch movies, I put myself into various characters positions and I tend to cry if they are put in or dealing with stressful situations. I find myself doing this not only with fictional characters, but with my friends as well. Another trait from the blue card in which I associate myself with is enthusiasm . I tend to become very excited about various events. I believe that compassion walks hand in hand with sympathy therefor I believe I am compassionate as well. As I mentioned, I cry when my friends or fictional characters are put in stressful situations. In addition to crying, I try my best to help or pretend to help with the situation. I give my best advice and give them an example of how I felt in a similar situation and how it turned out. I like to believe it helps them in one way or another. .

    In my opinion, permanent hair coloring is bad for you. People may think if it is permanent, it is easier to do, but some disagree. If you were to keep changing your hair color, you would eventually lose your hair. You also have to bleach your hair to change your hair color. You may think if you dye hair, they get respect, but there are consequences to hair coloring. That is why I suggest that you just use spray that is none permanent.

    I’ve always wanted to dye my hair fun colors. My older sister Kayla used to dye her hair colors when she was in high school so I wanted to do it too. At the school I used to go to, you could not have any unnatural hair color, I couldn't wait to get into high school so I could dye my hair. I asked and asked my parents for weeks over the summer if and when I could dye my hair. After a very long time of asking, they finally said I could. Since I didn’t want to be too expensive and go to a salon, I went to my friend Cindy who knows how to do hair and stuff to dye mine lavender. About two or three days before the first day of school, we started the hair dying process. On the first day, we did two lightening treatments to make my hair very blonde…

    Organic Amla Powder combined with the right quantity of dried powdered Organic Henna creates brown to rich maroon tones, which blend naturally with your hair type and color hair without drying them out even afterwards. This action of Amla and Henna combination extracted organically is markedly different from chemical colorants which modify hair strands and considerably reduce their strength, making extreme conditioning part of your daily routine. More and more chemicals applied to already weakened hair strands create more damage than good. Therefore, opting for a natural organic hair colorant like Organic Amla powder combined with Henna is the best option for healthy…
