My friend's parents both have black hair. How does she have natural red hair?

Leon

She is half-Chinese. Her mother is full-blooded Chinese. My friend's father met the mother in China, so the mother shouldn't have a recessive gene for red hair.

Answer
There are very rare genes for red hair amongst Asians that descended from the Tocharians of the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang province rather than the Mongolian Han Chinese. There are Melanesians with copper red hair and blonde hair. It is possible for rare alleles to persist in populations only to emerge as the phenotype on the chance combination with another rare allele.

Kurds are known to have red hair. Pashtuns, another ethnic group found in parts of Iran and Afghanistan, are known for producing redheads.

I have bright red hair, should I colour my eyebrows the same?

Ocean

If you google LedaMonsterBunny, you'll see that sometimes she'll colour in her eyebrows the same colour as her hair. My eyebrows are naturally black/Dark brown and im just wondering if i should colour them to match my red hair.

Answer
No.
DYEING EYEBROWS
Myth 7: Dye your eyebrows to match your hair color.
False: â Your hair color and eyebrows should not be a perfect match. A slight contrast is good,â says Warren, makeup artist to the stars. To lighten up your brows and fill them in for a natural look, use a brow pencil or powder one shade lighter than your hair color.

Never dye your eyebrows or eyelashes. This can hurt your eyes. You might even go blind. FDA does not allow using hair dyes on eyelashes and eyebrows.

That's why someone invented eyebrow pencils. If you want to change the color of your eyebrows, shave them, then line them with eyebrow pencils. Google celebrities with different color hair and see what eyebrow colors they have. Google Lady Gaga and check out what color eyebrows she's got with her so many wig changes. Have you seen Miley's eyebrows? She's now blonde!

Example from one salon to a client: "i have been a beauty therapist for 8 years and have never experienced a client react to an eyelash tint..
The client came in to have her hair done and while she was having this done asked about the eyelash tint.. she told me that she had a reaction in the past when she had it done so i gave her a patch test. about 40 Min's later she said that by now she would have reacted to it and said she would like to go with it and have it done.. so taking her world for it i done the tint she then asked for her eyebrows too..
this was on a saturday, monday morning i got a phone call from my boss saying i had to come in as the client had a reaction anyway when i got there i was a bit shaken as i didn't know what to expect the client was very sore.. she then said that she didn't want to take further action and that she just wanted me to know to be more careful for next time :s . . . . i think I'm going to give up my job too as my confidence has gone down the drain :( "

Whats the best (and perferably cheap) way to keep your hair color?

redken hair color image

MRose

I finally got my hair color to where I want it, and its gorgeous, but it usually fades pretty quickly. What products can I get that will help me keep the color vibrant and healthy for a longer period of time?

Its red, and red's hard to keep

Answer
Here are a few ways:
-look for clarifying or cleasing shampoos. they help get rid of the product build up and environmental agents that clog up the cuiticles. use this every 3 shampoos
-try looking for shampoos that are low in sulfur. sulfur is the agent that make the shampoo lather up. the sulfer is also the agent that causes the color to fade.

in the end....if you get your hair professionally done, ask them what brand they use to color your hair. then go out and look for that product line. For example, if a salon uses REDKEN color, then use REDKEN products. The reason is that the products are formulated to help care for that particular line's color.

What's the best professional hair color you've ever used?

hotmetalfr

I'm getting ready to open my salon. I need some opinions on pro hair color. I'm familiar with Redken color gels but nothing else. What do you use? What are your favorites? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanx!

Answer
ok the rest of those are fine and dandy but very expensive, I do Loreal and Miss Clairol. the color lasts longer and the price is right. and I have never noticed any fadeout with either one of these. outgrowth yes but no fadeout.

WHAT KIND OF red hair color LOOKS BEST ON PALE SKIN WITH YELLOW UNDERTONES?

me

I want to dye my hair red but i don't know which one to choose, like auburn, deep red-violet, orange-ish red (like Donna from That 70's Show) Which red hair color looks best? My skin looks different in different lights. For example if I was on white light my skin looks pale white and on sunlight my skin looks like its medium fair skin w/ yellow undertones.

Answer
Try a deep, rich burgundy color. That would look really cute on you. Or, try the hairstyle like Donna, like you said, which is a bit lighter. Just stay away from anything too bright orange or carrot-y.

Is it true the first Jews were black and why do they have blue eyes/blond/fair skinned today?

red hair judaism image

Sweet n So

The Jews were slaves in Egypt and is likely they were black to have done all the hard labor. Today many Jews have blonde hair/blue eyes or else very white skin. Are they the real Jews or a new race who chooses to keep the Jewish culture?

Answer
The original physical identity of the Semitic people commonly known as Jews is debatable and quite frankly irrelevant to me. The argument of the original Jews being black or white is a distraction tactic to divert the minds of many away from the fact of how so many have come to accept Judaism as historical fact even though there is no evidence in the form of documented dates as a point of reference when certain events occurred nor is there any physical evidence in the form of human remains or human artifacts to suggest anything written in the Old Testament of the Bible ever existed. For example none of the remains of the patriarchs of the Bible have ever been found. The Arc of the Covenant has never been found. Archaeologists, historians or scientists have found no evidence to suggest that a massive human exodus out of Egypt ever occurred much less the enslavement of Jews by the ancient Egyptians or the parting of the Red Sea. I could go on. The mythologies of certain people are more or less considered dead religions or are esoteric. Of the living religions all are considered mythology at best and evil at worst by the Judaic-Christian community. This is the height of hypocrisy considering the same could be said by of Judaism. The most amazing thing about this is Jews themselves don't try to force others to honor their faith as fact. They are quite content with being to themselves are standing behind their culture by themselves on that issue. It is many Non-Jewish people that have fervently championed the cause of proving Jewish faith not only as historical fact but applicable to all humans. Therefore for myself it really doesn't matter what the original Jews looked like. More importantly is my ancestors did not share their culture or beliefs. Therefore culturally, spiritually and traditional I share no commonality with Jewish people and could care less if they were black or white.

How predictable were the accusations from Fox TV about liberals "exploiting" the Arizona incident?

Smoking Jo

Jeez, people died - you don't have to go into attack mode immediately.
I can read ANY news story, and tell you exactly what Fox's angle will be on it - they're not very hard to predict.
All the journalists who got fired from Fox for being "fair and balanced" (i.e, not attacking and blaming Democrats for everything) have written books, read them yourself.

Answer
Just because they report this (R)ant, ... DOESN'T mean it's true! Yawn. MSNBC has been dead on the money about GOPers a million times or more, yet they always DENY it lol ! It IS what it is. Sarah 'Failin' Palin stuck her big hick foot in her big hick mouth a thousand times and it's finally coming back to bite her in the butt! She just did it again the other day with with her "blood libel' BS.She KNEW that the cross hairs and "RELOAD" were enticing and inciting her retarded rabid bunch. THAT was the plan! Now after ALL the irresponsible and hateful things that SHE has done (she DID it) is at the forefront, she's BLAMING the media (which BUTTERS her bread with those hefty paychecks) and the "dems" once AGAIN pfft!

She is NO "victim"! You reap what you sow!!!

She better hope that the Jews don't come down on her hard! It's quite hilarious, I love seeing her SQUIRM lol ! She comes up with a new hot water doozy almost every week lol.

"Sarah Palin Blood Libel Drama"

Palin once claimed that she was a victim of blood libel, a term which was originally used to crucify and justify the killing of many Jews in different parts of the world.

Her hurtful words have upset many Jewish leaders who are saying that her remarks are â insensitive, ill-chosen and offensive to Holocaust survivorâ but Palin stands by her video and keeps spouting.

Executive director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, David Sapperstein, described her most recent video as waving a red flag in the faces of persecuted Jews."

How can i make a Harpy or a Phoenix unique from other stories of them?

unique red hair color ideas image

Taylor

I want the harpy to be able to change into her harpy form. So human is her base form. But i need a reason for her to be that way and how can i make them unique? Like what could they look like thats different?

Phoenix i want the base form to be its bird form but can change into a human. Any ideas on how it should look/talents in human form?

Thanks !

Ok if anyone thinks that human base form is too common what other base forms would seem better? And would fit well.

Answer
I dunno about the harpy, but I have a few ideas for the phoenix. A young woman, tan, fiery red hair, and dark brown eyes. She has a very outgoing personality, and wears a lot of bright colors (for obvious reasons) and is a very fun person to be around.
Or: Dark brown hair, wears lots of warm colors (red, gold, brown, fall colors), is very passionate for everything she does.
Just some suggestions! Hope it helps!

My walls are buttercream yellow, and I've decided to add black and white accessories?

Habt our q

What fabric/color should I use with which to upholster my sofa? What kind of coffee table should I buy? I would like the mood to be as a spa on Park Ave. with vintage elements, although this is my apartment.

Answer
Ballard Designs and Brocade have catalogs with lots of products that would work and really cute ideas. (They have websites, as well.) Overstock.com often has some unique pieces, as well. All of these sites have furniture (sofas, tables, etc) as well as accessories. Macy's has some great tables and sofa options - even to use as an idea to take to a local furniture store.

www.brocadehome.com
www.ballarddesigns.com
www.overstock.com
www.macys.com

If you want to add 'color' you can always introduce sage green, wine or red to the mix. They'll all go well with the black & white, too.

A simple black sofa would be a nice base - then you can add pillows/throws in colors to accent. There are also some unique patterns - black & white scroll or fleur de lis print, or small diamond print. A jaquard fabric is nice, too (where you have a, for example, black on black print, or white on white). Even a small diamond quilted look can be sleek and sophisticated - just have to go out looking and see what's in your price range and what you can get in a fabric you like. If you have pets, you'll want something that doesn't hold the pet hair, too.

As far as tables go, it really depends on your space. It may be beneficial to find a table that offers you additional storage (think a cube table that the tops open for storage and they separate for additional seating; or a large ottoman that opens for storage and coordinates with your sofa, it can also be used for seating). Here's a pic of one of those tables, in case I didn't do well explaining: http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=252299&CategoryID=29845&LinkType=EverGreen

Or forego a coffee table and do some unique end tables, even....keep a nice open/spacious look.

Best wishes....start clipping pics of what you like or what draws your attention, then start shopping and pull it all together based on your box of faves! It will be fabulous!

How can you pull off 50s Glamour in high school?

Sarah

I always loved bright red lipstick, bright and tight dresses, and colorful pumps. But these things aren't easy to wear in high school, if you want to fit in. Advice?

Answer
Maybe one day wear your hair curled with the red lipstick with one of your normal outfits, then on another day do your hair and makeup how you normally do it but wear a polka dot dress...then another day, wear the lipstick and some pumps. Just don't do it all at once meaning; don't wear your hair 50s style with the red lipstick on and the 50s style clothes all at one time. :)

Wearing the items separately would be a good way to your show of your style and still fit in.

What would happen after my blonde hair is dyed red?

red hair ombre blonde image

Alma

So I have an ombré hair with ash brown as my roots & blonde for the ends, my natural hair color is black, & I wanted to dye my hair red but since red fades fast & I will be using the ones you buy at a drug store so it won't be anything perfesional & I don't want the red hair for long just as long as it'll last, well the blonde I have now change color after the red washes off & I will have to redu the blonde or will it be fine and won't change after the red is colored over it?? This is after the red hair washes off over 6 weeks or so what color will my blonde hair be??

Answer
If you're talking about the semi-permanent hair dyes, when they say it only lasts for 6 weeks that means it only stays its strong red colour for that long, and after that it will fade. But it quite probably won't completely disappear: I used to dye my medium brown hair with semi-permanent dye, it's been a year and a half since I last dyed it red but you can still see a slightly red sheen at its ends! It never completely fades.

And if you're bleaching your hair (which I suppose you must be if your natural colour is black) it will be extra absorbent so will hold more colour for longer.

So, yeah, I imagine that you will have to redo the blonde. Although you might quite like the faded red look? I actually rather like the red shine to my hair (although I'll probably lose the last of it when I next have my hair cut...)

What would happen if i dyed my red hair blonde?

luiza

I have naturally dark-ish brown hair, and i dyed it red then later back to brown. The red has come through a little bit, and my roots are showing alot. I want to dye the red parts blonde and leave my roots so it will have an ombre look. But im scared it might go ginger or a colour that i dont want.

Answer
thats tru you will get the orangy and yellowy tones in your hair, you will need to bleach your hair after this go ahead and dye it to the color that you want and after of this you can use a silver toner shampoo and treatment using it 5 times per week this will helps you to achieve the ombre tonality that youre trying to get,,,, if you do not want to bleach and dye your hair use just the toner, i could tell you a really good one im talking about naissant silver blue you can find it in amazon.com is so cheap and really good, try it out .... have a good day

How to make red hair dye fade faster?

red hair fading image

Heather

I have naturally dark blonde hair and a month and a half ago I dyed it dark mahogany brown, it was supposed to be semi permanent.I was expecting the dye to fade before my roots grew out, but it hasnt and now my roots looks wierd. How can I make the red hair dye fade faster? I graduate in a month!

Answer
You can do one of two things, to remove most of that dye.

1. By using Tide detergent with shampoo
http://www.wikihow.com/Remove-Dye-from-Hâ¦

or

2. By shampooing you hair mix with a bit of Dawn.
http://www.ehow.com/how_2139523_use-dawnâ¦

Here's an example what hair stripping will do to your hair.
It is worst than hair dyes. "I accidentally dyed my hair this awful black, stripped it, and now it is this crunchy crispy mess!"

Hair strippers are chemical treatments which are intended to strip out artificial color pigment with less risk or damage to the hair. The chemicals used are called reducing agents.
Certain 'metal' strippers containing sodium sulphoites are sold for reducing hair dyed with metallic dyes, as these dyes react violently with tint stripper containing hydrogen peroxide-the subsequent reaction may cause so much heat that the hair gets dissolved.
Google hair dyes & cancer also. There are those who tan & smoke all their lives & do not get cancer, but there are those 2nd hand & 3rd hand smoke who do and are currently on oxygen because they can't breath or have cancer. Same with hair dyes.

Here's a new article I found re: henna, which is supposed to be better for you than reg. box dye. It's a good read!
http://www.hennaforhair.com/ppd/pjackson.html

Example of one who's hair is falling and stopped growing:
"my hair had been bleached many times and can't grow past a certain length
its also falling out . i stopped bleaching it.
i just need to add lenght! but if i can stop it from falling out..that be great too"

Source(s):
I know hair. I have over 4 decades of hair know-how. I have silky, shiny, soft, smooth very healthy hair down to my knees. Previously damaged by perming & dyeing in the 80's & 90's. I've known people in their 30's whose hair stopped growing from ironing their hair in the 70's.

How to make red hair dye stay in hair longer?

I re-dyed my hair red and red hair dye fades really fast. When i wash my hair red still comes out of it. So what can i do to make it stay longer?? Plz help.

Answer
If you are looking to maintain your red hair color, special treatment will boost shine and improve color power. According to Morbid Outlook, red hair color is the hardest to maintain. The small molecules found in red dyes are easy to dislodge from the hair shaft with each shampoo. However, with a few simple steps for red colored-treated hair, you can make your red hair color last using inexpensive beauty products and salon techniques.

Wait between 24 and 48 hours after coloring red hair to shampoo. Most shampoos contain harsh cleaning compounds like sulfates. By not washing your hair immediately, you allow the red color to penetrate deep into the hair shaft. It's important to choose a conditioner or shampoo one shade lighter than your red. If the color is too dark it will distort the red color.

Use a red glaze or cellophane one week after coloring your hair. Beauty Bargainista recommends you add a red glaze to hair to slow down the oxidation of the red dye. Cellophanes are dyes made from vegetable colors that add shine to the hair. Both red glazes and cellophanes seal the red color and add shine.

Flat-iron your red hair two to three days after a coloring process. Use a heated flat iron to smooth your hair cuticles and lock in the color.

Prevent fading of red hair with a shampoo that deposits color. According to the Good Housekeeping website, "Color depositors will add a small amount of dye to hair with each shampoo." To extend the red color, wash hair twice a week with color-extending shampoos.

Protect red hair during water sports and swimming. Water penetrates the hair shaft and dissolves the dye used in red hair coloring. Apply a conditioner for color-treated red hair to your head. Cover hair with a plastic cap to resist color-fading salt and chlorine. Use a silicone-based conditioner to help seal the red color into the hair shaft.

What causes your hair to be the color it is?

red hair in your 40s image

Crepuscule

What happens in your head that makes your hair the color it is? Where does the color go when you get older and you get gray hair?

Answer
I am no scientist but I know it starts in your genes . Each hair on our heads is made up of two parts:a shaft - the colored part we see growing out of our heads
a root - the bottom part, which keeps the hair anchored under the scalp
The root of every strand of hair is surrounded by a tube of tissue under the skin that is called the hair follicle (say: fah-lih-kul). Each hair follicle contains a certain number of pigment cells. These pigment cells continuously produce a chemical called melanin (say: meh-luh-nin) that gives the growing shaft of hair its color of brown, blonde, red, and anything in between.
Melanin is the same stuff that makes our skin's color fair or darker. It also helps determine whether a person will burn or tan in the sun. The dark or light color of someone's hair depends on how much melanin each hair contains.
As we get older, the pigment cells in our hair follicles gradually die. When there are fewer pigment cells in a hair follicle, that strand of hair will no longer contain as much melanin and will become a more transparent color - like gray, silver, or white - as it grows. As people continue to get older, fewer pigment cells will be around to produce melanin. Eventually, the hair will look completely gray.People can get gray hair at any age. Some people go gray at a young age - as early as when they are in high school or college - whereas others may be in their 30s or 40s before they see that first gray hair. How early we get gray hair is determined by our genes.
Gray hair is more noticeable in people with darker hair because it stands out, but people with naturally lighter hair are just as likely to go gray. From the time a person notices a few gray hairs, it may take more than 10 years for all of that person's hair to turn gray.

What's the difference between 1940's and 1950's hair and makeup styles?

G

I've watched some makeup tutorials on YouTube, and seen that style elsewhere, and sometimes it's attributed to 40's and other times, 50's. The curly hair, red lip, thick liner with a flick.

Anyone know the difference (if there is one!)?

Answer
Before I answer this, let me just say Old Hollywood is my passion. I watch movies from 1910s-70s every. single. day. So I have seen hundreds of movies, and most from 30s, 40s, and 50s..so I have experience with this subject lol

There's not a difference in makeup from the 40s and 50s. The only change from 30s to 40s to 50s are the hairstyles and clothes.. (such as pin curls were only popular in the 20s and 30s and NOT the 40s.) ..and eyebrows. (Thicker eyebrows started coming back in the 40s, but before that they were tweezed/waxed to a thin arch.)

In the 1950s, a lot more women (particularly teenagers) started to wear their hair down and wavy (never more than shoulder length). Don't get me wrong, a lot still wore victory rolls (Those curly rolls you see on the women's heads), but this was leading into the late 60s, and by then victory rolls were nonexistent (on the younger generation, anyways.)

What volume developer to use with Wella hair color?

red hair color number chart image

Ms_LaLa

I have very dark brown hair and would like a true light brown color WITHOUT BRASSY RED TONES. I found the Wella Creme color I would like to use but I don't know what volume developer to use or how much. I am looking to get either the Wella Dark Blonde or Sunlight blonde in 2 oz. sizes. Is this enough for a whole head application? My hair is about 4 inches below my shoulder. Also I have only found 1 place on the web that sells these products to non-licensed individuals and that is beautyclicks.com. Unfortunately their offering of developers is very meager. Does anyone know of another site with a larger variety? Does it matter what developer you use and is Wella good for true color results when compared to the swatch? Thanks!

Answer
First off, be very careful doing a home job like this. The reason we are pros, is bc we have had alot of training to fix situations. But I will tell you what I can to help
From what I have exprienced wella is not too bad.
2 oz may do it depending on how think your hair is, but to be safe I would get 4. Mix up 2 to begin with, then if you need more, you can always mix more. If not, you have it left over for next time. With coloring yourself, it is very important to make sure you get all your hair saturated with the color, otherwise you will be left with patches of your color now.
Do you have color on your hair now? Anywhere from the roots to the ends? The reason I ask is bc color does not lift color. Basically if you have any color anywhere on your hair, it doesnt matter what developer you use, you will not get the desired result.
I obviously have no idea what your hair looks like so it is very hard to say what exactly to use. But if you can, find a swatch chart, and match your haircolor now with a number. if you are a dark brown you will probably be around a level 4. 10 volume developer will lift 1 level, 20 will lift 2, 30 will lift 3 and 40 will lift 4. This is not always exact thou depending on your hair.
As far as not having brassy red tones, I cant tell you. We are trained to be able to see your hair and know what to mix. And I dont know names of colors I know numbers. You want to steer clear of anything that says warm, gold, beige, etc, if you dont want these tones thou. Dont dip too much into anything with ash in it either. Otherwise it can tend to look green or gray.
This is very tricky business lifting hair. Everyones hair is diffrent. I would strongly suggest to try a test strand maybe on your neck line first. See how it comes out. Especially because if it doesnt turn out too well and you have to end up at a salon to have it fixed it can run into the $100s.
Good Luck!

Is it possible to lighten a dyed hair color?

red hair color before and after image

sarah820w

I had my hair dyed dark brown three months ago (SEMI Permanent), to cover red hair color that was done a month or so before that. It's probably a medium to dark brown on the ends, with the old red hair color coming through. I went to a salon and asked for her to lighten my hair color to a light brown. Well, she decided to only put lightener on my roots (which are now a medium blonde), and waited until after to tell me that you can't lift color with color. I'm going back tomorrow to see what I can do to fix the botched color job. How can I lighten my hair (without using highlights), without causing too much damage?

Answer
I had to have all the color stripped out of my hair then another color put in when I had a botched color job. That is about all I could do

Will lightening my hair to a blondish color help me get a bright red hair color?

Angelica

I have browmish-blackish hair with blonde highlights. I am wondering if I lighten my hair to a light brownish color or even Blonde will it give me a brighter alburn/red hair color? If yes, what bleaching product should I use and from where? Also how much? My hair is an inch or so past my shoulders. I have very thick hair. Thanks!

Answer
I think it will be brighter. I've dyed my hair red before and bleaching it first really worked out well. I personally didn't want to bleach my hair so it would be blonde. I did it so it would take the color better than my black hair. If you go to WalMart or Drug Mart there's normally a bleach/dye kit called Clairol Born Blonde and get the one with the lady with the short hair. Remember this is used to lighten your hair and you might need two boxes.

What unnatural hair dye color requires the least touch ups?

Chlo� Let

I know red is one of the most difficult (if not the most difficult) unnatural hair colors to upkeep because it fades quickly. Which unnatural color requires the least amount of touch ups (Green, blue, purple, pink, orange, etc.)?

Note: I am familiar with the fact that any hair color will require touch ups. I am not brand-spankin'-new to crazy colored hair dye.

Answer
I'd recomend a pink or a blue, but honestly it depends on the brand. The most trusted is "Special Effects" which is known to not fade quickly, but is pricey and can only be bought online. One you can buy in your local Sally's Beauty Supply is "Manic Panic", which tends to fade quickly, but fades into pretty colors. It's about $10. Also, easy touch-up is mixing a little color into conditioner, and putting it in tupperware (sp?) in your shower so you can leave it in for ten minutes, causing it to fade less.

Personally, I love scene and candy goth styles. Dinosaurs and robots are adorable. =]
Anyway, I would really love if you guys could list some websites or stores. Not eBay, please--I don't shop there. And I already know about Hot Topic, thanks. =]

How can I dress like a saloon girl for halloween?

mamajama

I have only a skirt, some fishnets, and a red corset-like top. Ideas? Hair? Makeup? Accessories? Pictures Please!

Answer
This is what im doing too :)

A lot of makeup and think big hair! I'm going to put mine in big loose curls and have half of it teased and pinned up. I'm no good with hair but the local beauty school does things like that for cheap.

I'm putting on bright pink lipstick and a lot of blush and doing really think and long fake lashes.

For accessories just take a piece of silk ribbon in a similar color and make a choaker by tying it around your neck, all the pictures that I have seen have had that.
