Several months ago I noticed that one of the tiny hairs along my hairline was white. Being a paint chemist, I was not surprised as I am quite used to paint getting into my hair. Unbothered, I set about removing what I thought was paint from my hair. Usually, this is a simple exercise as the oils that coat my strands prevent the paint from sticking to my hair. The paint usually slides right off, but not this time. I leaned in towards the mirror to get a closer look at my colored strands and that’s when I realized that my hair was not covered in white paint. My hair, was gray. Now I am determined to age gracefully but that doesn’t mean I want my head prematurely covered with grays. I’d also prefer to keep my hair color dark without having to constantly hair dyes and rinses which I’ve always found to be drying to my hair. If …show more content…
Rosemary reduces shedding and improves circulation to the scalp thereby promoting healthy hair growth. Rosemary is known to darken grays though its darkening effect isn’t as strong as that of sage. Rosemary is also great at combatting thinning and premature graying due to its high antioxidant content.

Henna and Indigo
Henna is a hair conditioner and a natural way to color hair or create subtle highlights in hair depending on your starting color. On gray hair henna gives an orange/copper tint. Indigo gives a blue black color that when applied on previously hennaed hair will completely darken gray hair.

My mother always tells me that the hair color you're born with is the one that looks the best on you, and I want to make sure that there's something inside of me that's always going to be worth returning to. Maybe the house I lived in with my parents will never be home for me again. Maybe I'll fall out of touch with people I thought I was pretty close to in high school. Maybe I'll hate the way a darker brown washes me out. But I'll know that in 20 to 26 washes, I'll come back to something that I've had naturally forever, and I'll know it looks pretty good.
This can in rare cases cause allergic reaction, and can cause damage to you're hair if done too much with a harsh dye. Dying is typically done to darken your hair, or to lighten it. Most hair dyes aren't too terrible for your hair, if you don't do it much at all(as in about maybe 6 times a year at most). But if you do plan on doing it more often, be sure the dye your using has a conditioning agent, which can in most cases make your hair even healthier than before when used!

As people look around the different cities of our fair country, one might notice that many people nowadays are coloring their hair to cover grey or just for the fun of it.

Will talking to rosemary plants cause a larger increase in the plant’s growth speed than singing? It is important for gardeners to know how to make rosemary plants grow as tall as possible because the plant is more often used for cooking than for decoration. The anticipated outcome of the experiment was that singing would cause a larger increase in the growth speed of the plants because of the active genetic response all plants have to high frequency sounds, like singing. To find the answer to this question, three rosemary plants were grown under the same circumstances, other than the sounds they received. One of the plants was sung to everyday one of them was spoken to, and the other received no sound at all. After one and two weeks,
Since a long time ago women have been coloring their hair with extracts from plants and minerals. Those natrual plants contained pigments like henna or black walnuts. Archaeologist had found evidence in some places like neanderthals where people used various things to change their hair color like the ancient greeks, Romans and Egypts that used plants and animals. The famous chemist Eugene Schueller in the 1800s found a substance called para-phenylenediamine and discovered a way that it could help the creation of synthetic hair dye. Close to the same time they discovered that hydrogen peroxide was a safer chemical compared to the others that could be used for bleaching hair. These two discoveries was enough to create the first hair dye commercial and called their product “Aureole” later on changing it to L’Oreal.
