Demi-permanent Hair Color and Permanent Hair Color

!±8± Demi-permanent Hair Color and Permanent Hair Color

Demi-permanent hair color - which some people mistakenly call semi-permanent ­lasts from 12 to 24 shampoos. It contains a small amount of peroxide - which means a small amount of hair damage - but no ammonia, making demi-permanent color a midway option between semi-permanent and permanent color. True to its middle-of-­the-road position, demi-permanent color does a bit more than semi-permanent. First off, it stays in hair longer before fading away. In addition, demi-permanent color's slightly more opaque formula does a better job of darkening hair more than three levels, covers gray better, and boasts more power to brighten hair. That tiny amount of peroxide can lighten hair, but only slightly - usually less than half a level. Again, if you have dark hair and dream of light locks, demi-permanent color is not for you.

How do semi- and demi-permanent colors fade? Shampooing loosens their pigment molecules, causing color to progressively diminish until all the molecules are gone. Because of this, you'll never experience telltale roots with semi- or demi-permanent color.

Permanent hair color

As its name implies, permanent color stays on your hair permanently. Its tenacity becomes especially apparent when the colored strands grow out: you'll see a line of demarcation between them and the new, untreated root growth. This, and the damage permanent color can cause (the formula contains both peroxide and ammonia), are its negative aspects.

On a more positive note, with permanent hair color you don't need to worry about losing the color you love after 6 or 24 shampoos, you get superior gray coverage, you can brighten or darken hair as dramatically as you like, and you can lighten hair up to four levels. Be aware, however, that if you'd like to lighten hair more drastically, you're better off with double-process color. Permanent color can lighten hair only so much ­go beyond four levels and it won't be strong enough to remove all the natural melanin in your hair. The not-so-gorgeous result? Strands that are brassy; brassy, brassy.

How to Make Homemade Body Lotion

!±8± How to Make Homemade Body Lotion

The body lotion tutorial:

The process of making body lotion is actually fairly easy. First off you will need to gather your lotion making supplies that include the following: an emulsifying wax, oil, water, a colorant, and a fragrance.

Step one: The first step in making body lotion is to mix your oils and water in with your emulsifying wax. This will create the base of your lotion. The emulsifying wax is what keeps the water and oils from separating.

Step two: The second step in making body lotion is to add your essential oils or fragrance oils. Essential oils will make your body lotion scented and can provide aromatherapy effects. Fragrance oils can also be used to give your lotion a nice scent.

Step three: The third step in making body lotion is to add your colorants. These colorants can be from a laboratory or they can come from natural sources. If you plan on marketing your handmade skin care products as natural skin care products then you will want to use natural coloring agents like paprika, mica, or oxides.

Step four: The fourth step is to bottle your product. You can place your lotions into a jar, tube or into a pump or squirt bottle. You can make custom labels to attach on the bottles with your company name, logo and ingredients.

In addition to making a basic body lotion you can also add things to the lotion to make it special. One popular additive to body lotion is glitter. Other popular additives for body lotions are SPF and tint.

Mistakes people make when removing their lace wigs What you need to remove your lace wig Steps 1 - 5 'How to remove a lace front / full lace wig' Pros and cons of alcohol and oil based lace wig adhesive removers Top tip for removing trace glue from lace wig - mirror! What to do if you have sensitive skin - skin test

If you've gone to the expense of buying what is the Rolls Royce of wigs, a lace front or full lace wig, you don't want to risk ruining it with careless removal. To ensure your wig stands the test of time and pays for itself in saved trips to the hair salon, spend a few minutes after each use to ensure you remove and store your lace wig properly. Your skin will thank you for it later too!

Mistakes people make when removing their lace wigs

1. Pulling the lace wig straight off their head

One of the main mistakes people make when removing lace front wigs is to rush the process, forgetting the removal sprays and peeling the hair piece straight off their head if the wig starts to lift. As a lace front wig is secured at the front with adhesive (and in the case of a full lace wig, around it's entire circumference) the adhesive needs to be removed gently from both the skin and the wig to avoid damage to both and to ensure all the adhesive is removed ready for the next application. Leaving adhesive on the wig can prevent proper adhesion next time around and may damage the lace seam.

2. Using abrasive materials to apply the adhesive remover and rubbing too much

Another common mistake is to use abrasive materials to apply adhesive remover such as cotton wool or paper towels. Both of these materials can damage the delicate lace edging of the lace front wig as well as being unkind to the skin due to the back and forth rubbing motion.

How to remove your lace front or full lace wig without damaging your wig or hairpiece

You need:

Adhesive remover Cotton buds (q-tips) or small soft brush Soap and water Wig stand Mirror Hair Clips (large ones)

Step 1

Clip the lace front or full lace wig hair back from the face and secure at the crown. This should give you a clear view of the lace seam and ensure that no adhesive remover comes into contact with the wig hair.

Step 2

Apply an adhesive remover. There are two types of adhesive remover:

Alcohol based Oil based
Alcohol based adhesive remover

The advantages of alcohol based removers is that they are fast acting and do not leave a residue on the skin or hairpiece. They do however have to be applied using a cotton bud (q-tip) or small soft brush (like the adhesive application brush) as they cannot be sprayed towards the face. The alcohol also evaporates quickly which is why some people rub too harshly to remove the adhesive before the alcohol based remover is gone. It can also be problematic for people with sensitive skin as it can dry the skin and cause irritation.

Dip the cotton bud in the lace wig adhesive remover and apply to the lace seam all along the edge. Leave for a few minutes until the seam visibly starts to peel away from the face on its own. When it does this apply more adhesive remover along the underside of the seam. Work carefully to ensure all the edges are covered.

Oil based lace wig adhesive remover

If you have sensitive skin oil based adhesive remover is recommended as these are gentle on the skin and can be used to remove adhesive from the wig, the skin and other parts of the body. Oil adhesive removers like C22 (a pleasant, fast acting, citrus scented remover) can also be left on the skin or hair piece for soaking of more stubborn adhesives. Unlike the alcohol based adhesive removers, they do not evaporate or dry out the skin. They are also provided in spray form so you simply spray along the lace front wig seam as oppose to applying with a cotton bud and do as detailed above.

Once the lace wig adhesive has been successfully removed, the oil based remover must be completely washed off the skin using soap and water and off the hair piece using shampoo and water. The oily residue can prevent proper adhesion of the wig next time around.

Step 3

When the adhesive remover has had a chance to work (as per manufacturer's instructions) gently peel the lace seam away from the face working methodically from one side to the other.

Step 4

When the lace wig seams are completely away from the face, lift the wig off the head and place on your wig stand for easy maintenance and to retain its shape.

Step 5

Cleanse your face to remove traces of adhesive and adhesive remover. What to do if you have sensitive skin-skin test.
As with hair colorants it is a good idea to test your skin for sensitivity to adhesive or removers before using them. You can do this by applying a small amount to the inside of one wrist, covering in clear plastic film (cling film is good) for 24-48hrs. If an allergic reaction occurs remove the adhesive or adhesive remover immediately and consult your Doctor.

Top tip for removing trace glue from lace wig - use a mirror! If after removing your lace wig you find that there is still adhesive on the wig you can rub a handheld mirror along the inside seam where the adhesive is. The adhesive should come off on the mirror!

Soy Candle Supplies

Soy candles are made from soy wax. Soy wax is a hydrogenated form of soybean oil. Soy wax was invented by Michael Richards in 1992 as an alternative to beeswax.

Soy candles are similar to regular candles made of beeswax, paraffin or other oils. But they have some definite advantages: they are cheaper; they are natural; they are environmentally friendly since they do not release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere; they last longer - almost 50% longer than paraffin candles; they are non-toxic and non-carcinogenic, hence they don't trigger any allergies; they are bio-degradable (since soy is a vegetable byproduct); they are from renewable resources; they burn evenly with a steady flame; the wax burns cooler than paraffin, thus sending more fragrance into the air; and they also produce less soot - almost 90% less than that from paraffin candles. This makes soy candles are the more preferable over other kinds of candles.

Soy candle making is a relatively easy art and just requires practice. All it needs is to melt the soy wax, add color dyes or fragrance oils or any other additives. The melted wax should be poured into containers or moulds that contain a wick. It generally takes a night for the wax to cool down.

Soy candle supplies are for making soy candles. The main soy candle making supplies required are: soy candle wax, soy-based fragrances, soy dye/colorant chips, soy-coated wicks, moulds, metal tins, jars and containers. There are also soy candle supplies kits available. Prices of these kits start from for a soy tart kit, .00 for a primitive soy candle kit and .00 for an intermediate soy candle making kit. A soy candle making kit for beginners is priced at .00.

Soy candle supplies can be obtained very easily. They are also available in bulk at wholesale prices. Soy candles supplies can also be ordered online through the various websites over the Internet. The orders can be placed by phone, fax, or e-mail, or by filling in direct order forms in the websites. Payment can be made by credit card, check, money order or PayPal. Some suppliers also give provision for returning the supplies if not satisfied. There are many such sites over the Internet that provide comprehensive information about soy candle supplies.

!±8± Homemade Gift Idea - Super Easy Homemade Lotion

Homemade lotion is gift idea that can be so easy it's almost cheating. Combined with the other homemade gift ideas on this blog, such as the homemade soap, lip balm, and bath bombs, homemade lotion would make an excellent additional gift idea to a homemade gift basket of bath products. Most people enjoy lotion, and it becomes almost a necessity for some during the winter months as the air gets drier. Lotion can be a potentially successful homemade gift for men as well if scented properly. The following tutorial uses a premade lotion base that takes a lot of the work out this project. If you want to customize your lotion base check out this lotion making tutorial. You can purchase this lotion-making kit with all of the ingredients to make the lotion base from scratch.

Ingredients.

As with many of the other bath products listed on this blog, all of the ingredients can be purchased through brambleberry.com. They have an entire section on lotion-making products. You can also purchase a pre-made lotion kit that contains everything you need to make 4 4-ounce bottles of lotion. Of course, you are stuck with the scent and color that is in the kit.

Pre-made lotion base. If purchasing a gallon or more, consider buying a pump for the top of the bottle. Some health food stores actually carry lotion in bulk. Our local grocery co-op carries bulk lotion in their health and wellness section Fragrance oil or essential oil. Essential oils, though more expensive, have a purer and less artificial scent than the fragrance oil. Lotion Container Avery full sheet labels if you want to personalize the bottle

Directions

This couldn't be any easier.

Pour your desired amount of lotion into a Pyrex or other heat-resistant container. Mix in your desired amount of essential oil or fragrance. Start with adding a few drops. Nothing exhausts the olfactory sense than over-scented lotion. Pour into the lotion container. If the lotion will not pour well, try heating up the lotion in 10-20 second intervals. Don't get the lotion too hot as it might start to separate. Make your label and apply to the bottle and you are done.

Another way to dispense the lotion into the containers is to pour the lotion into a Ziploc bag. Mix in the fragrance. Then, cut one of the corners out of the baggie, and squeeze into the container. This method will waste about 5% of the lotion however.

Also, you can add colorant in step 2 if you desire, but colored lotion just never seems natural to me.

I personally have not tried making these homemade gifts, but I'm sure everybody on your list will be happy to receive them.
