PHOTOSYNTHESIS

We've been here for hundreds of thousands of years, absorbing the suns energy and using it in every industry to power carbon deposits. That's every industry. Interestingly enough it is colour that is contained in the suns rays. We only see colour because off our subtractive view, meaning: that the suns rays are absorbed by each molecular structure and these rays contain vibrations. We see a colour as a result of the rays that were subtracted from our view, daylight contains the whole spectrum of light as seen in the rainbow. ROYGBIV- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, this is the theory attributed to the science of Isaac Newton. This system is a subtractive mixing theory employed by most painters, and is a called a pigment wheel or an artist wheel.

 If the vibration is the same as the molecular structure than the colour is subtracted from our sight. What we see is the reflection of the rays that have a different vibration than the colours absorbed into the stricture. Whether a broad plane or textured, the nature of light is that it contains all colour. This subtractive view is one way we see into a colour wheel, through identifying the rest of the colour wheels, we have systems that distribute light through different molecular structures and chroma scales that include tint, tone and shade.  Tint, adding white to a pure hue. Shade is adding black to a pure hue. Tones are adding grey to a pure hue. The scientist Albert Munsell ascribes the use of colour in design to various levels of hue sometimes referred to as chroma. Because Munsell creates a partitive system, his theory is that each colour being a part of each other causes a reaction when viewed next to a certain colour.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf5otGNbkuc CLICK TO VIEW "TED"DOCUMENTARY ON THE THE PERCEPTIONS OF COLOUR AND  THE BRAIN


The filters of colour used frequently in printing is the CMYK system, often called the process wheel. CMYK stands for cyan, magenta, yellow and k for black. The light system that uses filters of red, green and blue to create white light is a partitive system of light energy; colour. Not an elite industry but a huge exclusivity in this industry because light that gives life to motion film, and distributive energies of computer monitors. The subject of light has a fascinating level of infinite possibilities. Literally meaning that sensory information can contain the photosynthesis of the brain, and that is a topic for those who are studying effects of light therapy and cognitive science. So, let me show you what I learned about colour in my experience of changing my look...A simple hair colour change and I feel brand new. Glad to have visited my local Sally's Beauty Supply knowing that RED is the fattest molecule, meaning it is the hardest to saturate a dye pigment with, hence why our red usually bleeds out of our lovely hair colour. None the less I am LOOKING FOR A DRAMATIC CHANGE FROM MY BLONDE HAIR.  My hair is naturally a medium blonde, a very pretty colour that a lot of women pay for in the salons, I like my natural hair but needed a pick me up after not dying my hair for about a year.

I have used red hair dye before at home! I don't know about salons but personally I never get a hairdresser who can calculate a method to my desired effect. I always leave the salon looking like the hairdresser wanted me to look and not like I wanted to look. And I've been to Vidal Sasoon, Paul King, The Holt Renfrew Salon, Evoke Salon and Spa all the way down to the local spot in my neighbourhood. Every one of these salons had hairdressers wanting to tell  me how to look! That being said I find it simpler in the realm of defining my beauty to experiment at home, and with caution of course! I have had too many experiences of leaving hair salons paying out three hundred dollars and sobbing through tears, not because of the money but because I couldn't get what I wanted! I eventually realized that I need to learn to do my own hair because other wise I wasn't going to be getting what I wanted. Now that does not mean that I can do every style I conceive, I am not formally trained and largely rely on my beauty sense to apply the most basic styles to highlight my look.

Okay that being said, I have seen the damage that repeatedly dying your hair can cause. And, for this all I have to say is olive oil and egg yolk. So that's my beauty recipe for damaged hair. Use the
olive oil heated for best effects and whip in an egg yolk or two at room temperature, careful don't cook dem eggs, you need the protein to be raw for its highest concentration of nourishment.

The last time I coloured my hair red I used A "rich auburn brown", #67, a warmer cardinal red from Feria, by L'oreal. This time I used a "dark intense red blonde", # 61R-66.66 permanent colour creme from Ion, Ionic  is supposed to be a State- of-the-art European formula made with wheat germ protein, nourishing botanical extracts and low ammonia; no metallic salts which are found in Feria Hair Colour.
Notice that hair colour uses an international numeration system and since the colours vary by a degree, that is represented by the numbers, being so similar to each other.  I bought the tube of this colour and a developer and a conditioning pack by Ion. I also already had a blond from Feria (#205 extra bleach blond) in my beauty arsenal so I took it out, and began to colour my hair. Knowing where to part the hair, and how long developing a blond in processing time it starts with this first step. I leave it in fourty five minutes to achieve the lightest blond. Then I wash and condition, blow-dry and admire. From there I section off the blonde and coat the sections with Vaseline because I don't want the red to pigment the blond. I also apply the Vaseline to all over my hairline, not trying to dye my face red!
I mix the ION colour with a 3% developer for a sensitive scalp, a 10 volume developer because the red doesn't need a boost to show up on my naturally medium blonde hair. Mix, part hair in four sections and apply...thoroughly and all over, massaging it into the sections of hair. One hour later because I know my hair needs to be saturated for that hour to achieve the deepest pigment surface change possible...ahhh Red...all over the shower, of course and then condition for five minutes before the final rinse and blow dry.
