Mixing Hair Dye Help? 10 Points?

I have a question concerning dye mixing. I'm about to cut and color my hair for a style I love. I have a couple of dyes laying around. 1 is a Revlon Colorsilk boxy dye(liquid dye and separate developer) and some Ion Color Brilliance dyes about. Would it be okay to mix a ion color with the colorsilk color? I looked up the tones of each and they are basically the same except Ion has a red undertone I like.

So without using the box dyes developer and using my own developer can I mix these colors?

Answer
I don't recommend you try to be a scientist and biologist @ the same time. SALON: Hair bleach burnt my scalp?
its been a week today that i had my mobile hair dresser come and do highlights for new year. it was blue powder and white cream stuff she mixed up to use. anyway she got it on my scalp which really burnt me! the foil was so hot she could barely touch it! she didn't rinse my hair off until she had finish the last two highlights and by that point the pain was so bad i was almost crying! she didn't even wash the bleach out of my hair properly and when blow drying it it just burnt me even more! that same day about an hour after she left it was still burning and noticed scabs forming and my hair sticking together. i did go to the doctors the other day to get it checked as the pain is still very bad and its also swollen. all they gave me is this shampoo called oilatum that i can only use twice a week. dose anyone know of what else i could possibly do or use to stop this incredibly bad pain and burning that keeps me up a night too. as the doctors have said its not infected.

Style meets chemistry meets biology: We're talking hair coloring.

Playing with chemicals is not like playing with clothes, or doing a manicure, there are penalties for playing chemicals in the lab. Even hair color experts at the salon are not rocket scientists, they do a bang up dye jobs to their clients or their own hair.

hair dye and developer?

Ashleigh

i used a 1v hair dye with a 20 developer does that mean that its really at a 3v becuse it says that it lifts 2 shades i dont know anything about developers

what hair colour of white people are the strongest?

big james

just wondering cause when im called a ginger in school i wonder are they doin the wrong thing

Answer
hello fellow red head....

You cant determine a persons strength by their hair colour ...

Genetically red hair is different. It is characterized by high levels of the reddish pigment pheomelanin and relatively low levels of the dark pigment eumelanin.Red hair appears in people with two copies of a recessive gene on chromosome 4 which causes a change in the MC1R protein, hence red hair.

However I did find this extract on my own reseach and we are more sensitive to pain

Sensitivity to pain
In people with red hair, the cells that produce skin and hair pigment have a mutated MC1R. Researchers have found that this mutation triggers the release of more of the hormone that stimulates these cells, but this hormone also stimulates a brain receptor related to pain sensitivity.[32]

Two studies have demonstrated that people with red hair have differential sensitivity to pain compared to people with other hair colours, but they differ as to the direction of the effect. One study found that people with red hair are more sensitive to thermal pain (a natural low vitamin K level is to blame for this) while another study concluded that redheads are less sensitive to pain from electrical stimuli.

Researchers have found that people with red hair require greater amounts of anesthetic, A study showed women with red hair had a greater analgesic response to that particular pain medication than Men

Is Raw hair dye vegan?

WhatSarahS

I used to use raw hair dye and I loved it. I have had red and purple hair. Half a year ago, I bleached my hair too much, and parts of it had a lot of breakage and fell out. I want to start dying my hair again but I only want to use vegan dyes. Is raw vegan?

Answer
"Half a year ago, I bleached my hair too much, and parts of it had a lot of breakage and fell out"
No.

There really isn't any "natural" hair color other than henna that I know of. Henna plant was used by the ancient Egyptians. Crushing berries to produce the variations of color is simplified since then but the henna product is still a pain. It must be mixed up a day ahead and the processing time can be up to 4 hours.

http://www.aikenstandard.com/story/0930-beauty-corner

Henna, for example, is a natural hair color that is incredibly drying to the hair shaft, Begoun says. And cosmetics scientists at TheBeautyBrains.com say that henna will only temporarily tint your hair. Although most so-called natural hair-color products use fewer chemicals than most drugstore hair colors, experts say that any change to natural hair color causes hair damage. Experts suggest using the gentlest formula that will yield your desired color and using it as infrequently as possible.
Herbatint & Naturetint are two permanent hair colors that use a smaller amount of hair dye chemicals in conjunction with natural ingredients. Both have fairly decent ratings at MakeupAlley.com (though each gets only a handful of reviews).

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!
Google: Henna for Hair Warnings.

If youâre using Henna which says itâs going to turn your hair from black to blonde, then it seems like your using compound Henna, which is not 100% natural. Without getting too scientific, compound henna is when you mix the Lawson in with a chemical like, metallic salts. The most commonly used ones are Copper, Lead acetate and Nickel. This can arguably damage your hair, leaving it dry, brittle and coarse.

How do you prevent red bumps when shaving pubic area?

Question A

I am a 17 year old male who shaves my pubic area for hygiene and cleanliness. Everything is good for a day or two after i shave but i then develop red bumps until the hair grows back completely. I try using lotions and baby powder to keep the area moist but it's not effective in removing the red bumps. Please help! Thanks!

Answer
I feel your pain, man. I recommend the following:

Trim your Pubic Hair
To make this process easier, trim the genital area before applying the razor! You'll save blades this way. Electric razors, clippers (with safety guards) or scissors work well. To get a closer cut and avoid unwanted nicks, pull the hair up then trim away.

Soaking
Take a long, warm bath beforehand. This softens coarse pubic hair and makes it easier to shave and style.

Lathering
Apply shaving cream or gel to lather the pubic area. A thin layer of petroleum jelly will help with a closer shave. Soap doesn't make the best lather for pubic shaving. Note that some people may have allergic reactions to certain shaving cream.

Shaving
There are many different ways to style your pubic hair. Think about it before you start and be as creative as you desire. It is recommended to shave the same way the hair grows. Avoid constantly stroking the same area during the shave because this may irritate the skin. Aim for two to three short strokes. Do stretch the skin to reach the difficult hairy spots.

Attention First-Timers! The pubic area is sensitive and may take time to adjust to the razor. Shaving once a week is enough for your first month. Don't worry about a smooth shave the first month.

Exfoliating (Removing dead skin)
It's important to clean your skin after shaving. The best way is with a "loofa sponge" and your normal body soap. Due to sensitivity of this area, rub lightly with the sponge to prevent skin irritation. This will help remove anything that may clog the pores.

Moisturizing
Rinse, dry and moisturize the freshly shaven pubic area. Baby oil and Aloe Vera work well. It's best to avoid moisturizers that contain fragrances and colors, since this may cause irritation. You may also want to use baby powder for comfort.

Hygienic Maintenance
Wash your shaven genitals on a daily basis. This helps remove unwanted oils and sweat. Moisturize and powder the area daily to avoid irritation. If you keep the hair short, you'll avoid stubbles, which causes itching. Try to wear cotton underwear and to stay away from tight fitting cloths pants. The lack of air circulation and friction of tight cloths may lead to in-grown hairs.

A Few Warnings

For some people, pubic hair is always easy and fun. However, for many other people it presents problems. When the genital hair begins to grow back, itching often occurs. Red bumps and ingrown hair may appear. To relieve the irritation, you can apply cortisone cream. If these symptoms cause you stress or don't go away, see a doctor.
People who are allergic and react to some shaving creams. This area seems to have heightened sensitivity. Furthermore, if it does react, your natural sweat and the natural abrasion this area receives will most likely make your life miserable (temporarily). Use hypoallergenic shaving creams or consider avoiding shaving all together.
Some women have noted genital sensitivity during menstruation. If shaving becomes uncomfortable for women during their periods, they should time pubic shaving around their menstruation cycle.
If shaving does irritate your skin, waxing may not cause as much irritation or in-grown hairs.

What are the side effects of taking methotrexate?

red hair pain sensitivity
on Some people just can't handle pain - but it might not be their fault.

red hair pain sensitivity image

Anonymous

And how likely is it that it will damage your liver, and in what way? My doctor went over a few of the symptoms with me, but I'd like to have a better understanding of what I've been putting in my body.

Answer
The following are considered minor or annoying:

Acne; chills and fever; dizziness; flushing; general body discomfort; hair loss; headache; infertility; irregular periods; itching; loss of appetite; lowered resistance to infection; miscarriage; nausea; sensitivity to sunlight; sore throat; speech impairment; stomach pain; swelling of the breast; unusual tiredness; vaginal discharge; vomiting.

However, seek medical attention right away if any of these show up:

Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); black or bloody stools; blood in the urine; bone pain; calf pain/swelling; change in amount of urine; chest pain; confusion; dark urine; diarrhea; dry cough; enlarged glands; fatigue; fever or chills; inflammation of the pancreas (stomach tenderness, nausea, vomiting, fever, increased pulse rate); irregular heartbeat; mental changes; mouth sores; muscle weakness; persistent sore throat; red, swollen, or blistered skin; seizures; serious infection (herpes, hepatitis, blood infection); trouble breathing; unusual bleeding or bruising; unusual pain and discoloration of the skin; vision changes; vomit that looks like coffee grounds; yellowing of skin or eyes.

Thing to remember is ALL medicines cause side effects. All side effects listed for any medication are there because they were reported during drug testing or shortly thereafter by Dr. via patient.
Good luck. Very prudent question also, always wise to be concerned what you're putting into your body.

Do you think redheads have special powers?

Chris

Natural red heads have long been a special fetish niche and in olden days redheads were considered natural born witches, having red hair was akin to having a sign of the devil. What is your opinion? It certainly seems that we are different in ways that go beyond mere hair color. For example, redheads experience pain differently thus it's my thinking that we may have slightly different genetic coding.

Answer
Yes, Redheads do have "special powers" which I will explain...

First of all, I am a White Male (with black hair) married to a redhead woman who I love and find endlessly fascinating and challenging. Redhead females are VERY passionate and interesting, they are delightfully full of vigor and life. Most men lack the ability to live with or handle a Redhead simply because they lack the art of understanding the nuances that are simply the nature of a Red Head woman.

I absolutely agree that Red Heads are a different genetic make up than other "species" of humans. In some ways better, in other ways worse off due to a higher sensitivity to UV Radiation causing them to sun burn very easily and possibly obtain skin cancer.

Redheads are wild, passionate and indeed very much like the devil in many ways but I'll that that ANY DAY over the other BORING types of women out there.

What are the signs of high antiphospolipid levels?

Ash W

What sort of problems can this cause?

Answer
This level is used for a diagnosis of lupus, and without proper diagnosis from a doctor, hard to determine because each person has slightly different symptoms that can range from mild to severe and may come and go over time. However, some of the most common symptoms can include painful or swollen joints (arthritis), unexplained fever, and extreme fatigue. A characteristic red skin rash-the so-called butterfly or malar rash-may appear across the nose and cheeks. Rashes may also occur on the face and ears, upper arms, shoulders, chest, and hands. Because many people with lupus are sensitive to sunlight (called photosensitivity), skin rashes often first develop or worsen after sun exposure.

Common Symptoms of Lupus:
Painful or swollen joints and muscle pain
Unexplained fever
Red rashes, most commonly on the face
Chest pain upon deep breathing
Unusual loss of hair
Pale or purple fingers or toes from cold or stress (Raynaud's phenomenon)
Sensitivity to the sun
Swelling (edema) in legs or around eyes
Mouth ulcers
Swollen glands
Extreme fatigue
Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may come and go over time.

Other symptoms of lupus include chest pain, hair loss, anemia (a decrease in red blood cells), mouth ulcers, and pale or purple fingers and toes from cold and stress. Some people also experience headaches, dizziness, depression, confusion, or seizures. New symptoms may continue to appear years after the initial diagnosis, and different symptoms can occur at different times. In some people with lupus, only one system of the body, such as the skin or joints, is affected. Other people experience symptoms in many parts of their body. Just how seriously a body system is affected varies from person to person. The following systems in the body also can be affected by lupus: Kidneys, Lungs, Central Nervous system, Blood, Blood Vessels, and Heart.

why are my teeth extremely sensitive after having fillings?

Melissa

i went to the dentist about one month ago and had fillings replaced and filled, ever since then i have not been able to chew anything! i have pain sometimes when i even bite down, anyone know why?

Answer
Fillings have to be adjusted for occlusion, or what is called your bite. Even if the metal or composite is a hair high, it will cause incredible pressure on that tooth and make all the pulp and connective tissue around the root very sensitive. You may have noticed that the dentist had you bite down on a strip of blue or red paper after the filling, then he did a little more drilling. This was the occlusal adjustment for the filling. If he did not do the bite adjustment, then you need to go back, or just call up his office manager and tell her that you think the dentist left your fillings "a little high." Or, he may have drilled down to the pulp nerve and that sensitivity will be more like a sharp pain. That will go away as the inside of the tooth lays down more dentin around the nerve tubules. Hope this helps.

Does this usually happen when you get your eyebrows waxed?

Bella Rose

I got my eyebrows waxed for the first time 4 days ago and I have noticed red bumps along the top of my eyebrows. Is this normal? Is it just caused by sensitivity or could I be allergic to something they put on it?
Thank you for your help!

Answer
This is common and could be caused by a few things. It sounds like you're having a mild reaction to waxing.

You can try putting a dab of hydrocortisone cream on the bumps, this might reduce the redness and get rid of any itchiness.

In the future, if you have your eyebrows waxed again, there are a few pre-waxing steps you can take to reduce the chances of getting these red bumps again:

# Exfoliate. LIGHTLY exfoliate skin before waxing, even if itâs just a mild shower gel and washcloth. This helps rid the follicle of oil and debris.

# Apply some heat. By taking a warm, not hot shower or bath, or applying a warm compress right before waxing will open up the skinâs pores and soften the skin, allowing the hair follicles to come out easier. This not only helps with the pain factor, but helping prevent irritation from the wax pulling on the skin.
