Will I damage my hair?




hazel


My hair was dyed black and I used color oops to take the black out so I could dye it red. An hour or two later, I put the red dye in and it came out black! Why? Also, I want to get another box of the red dye I got today and try it again. Will this damage my hair? Thanks in advance ð


Answer
When you dye your hair (especially at home) the outcome is always unpredictable. And the reason "Color Oops" didn't work is because it only strips away surface level colors, not deep ones and then covers them up! And the Color Oops alone has damaged your hair SO MUCH! You need hair stylist. A professional one. Someone who can look at your hair's damage level, porosity, thickness, and history to determine exactly what they should use to get your hair exactly where it needs to be with the least amount of damage. Plus the hair dye a hair dresser uses is different than anything you can buy over the counter. If you are trying to save money go to a cosmetology school where the students are trained and supervised by industry professionals.

Here is a link to my nonprofit beauty blog and the post all about Box Color, how it's different from professional color, and why it is so bad for your hair.

It also has some tips and trick on the blog for regaining healthy hair after damaging it!

What percentage of the world population has red hair, and why?

Why is red hair so rare? Sources please if you can.


Answer
hers a link. theres more info. veeeerrry interesting.

Some of us are drawn to the color Red like a bull in Spain, relentless, fixed, and pure. Less than four percent of the world population has naturally red hair. That is less than two percent in America. The gene for Ginger hair was discovered in 1995 and this discovery got little attention. This is not consistent as red heads have gotten lots of it. Some negative such as the association with witches and a crazy temper. Some are positive, such as our love for Lucy, The Little Mermaid, and the Feminist icon of Lilith, the first wife of Adam who insisted on sexual equality. So many deceptive MYTHS are of common knowledge concerning the crimson strand. Read up on the TRUE history of this striking genetic endowment.
----------------
Red hair appears in people with two copies of a recessive gene on chromosome 16 which causes a mutation in the MC1R protein. It is associated with fair skin color, lighter eye colors (gray, blue, green, and hazel), freckles, and sensitivity to ultraviolet light.//

Biochemistry and genetics
A close-up view of red hairThe pigment pheomelanin gives red hair its distinctive color. Red hair has far more of the pigment pheomelanin than it has of the dark pigment eumelanin.

The genetics of red hair, discovered in 1997, appear to be associated with the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R), which is found on chromosome 16. Red hair is associated with fair skin color due to low concentrations of eumelanin throughout the body of those with red hair. This lower melanin-concentration confers the advantage that a sufficient concentration of important Vitamin D can be produced under low light conditions. However, when UV-radiation is strong (like in regions close to the equator) the lower concentration of melanin leads to several medical disadvantages, such as a higher risk of skin cancer.

The MC1R recessive variant gene that gives people red hair and fair skin is also associated with freckles, though it is not uncommon to see a redhead without freckles. Eighty percent of redheads have an MC1R gene variant,[5] and the prevalence of these alleles is highest in Scotland and Ireland. The alleles that code for red hair occur close to the alleles that affect skin color, so it seems that the phenotypic expression for lighter skin and red hair are interrelated.

Red hair can originate from several different changes on the MC1R-gene. If one of these changes is present on both chromosomes then the respective individual is likely to have red hair. This type of inheritance is described as an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. Even if both parents do not have red hair themselves, both can be carriers for the gene and have a redheaded child. (Red hair genetics).
