Entry #2: Deeper into Hair Color!

I love to dye my hair. I have dyed it so much that I would say it is a big part of my life. Going from purple to blue to pink and now blue again has really made me learn a lot about the process of hair dye. It has also made me learn a lot about how the hair actually works when it comes to chemicals on it and it is very interesting! Although I have dyed it so much, it always seems to fade. Let me tell you a little bit about a few reasons that your hair may not hold color.

The most common reason that your hair is not holding color is because of damaged hair. When hair is damaged, the chemicals of the hair dye may not correctly stick to the hair. This can not only mean that the hair will not take the dye, but it can also mean that only certain pieces of hair will take the dye. This leaves a patchy look. Another reason that hair does not hold color is because the original hair color is too dark. It will be there but you may not even be able to see the color. The common fix for this is to bleach the hair.

Hair is very unique and genetically, everyone's hair is different. It is important to understand your hair before you dye it. Even after you dye it, your har might not take the chemicals the way you want it to. Because of this, make sure to keep up with it!

    Hi Victoria, I really enjoyed reading your blog post! It’s very cool that you enjoy dying your hair, especially with such fun colors! My hair is naturally red and I’ve had people tell me to never die it. I probably never will but I just absolutely love when other people do! I like how you talked about how much you like dying your hair and then also mentioned why some hair doesn’t hold hair die. And I really liked the photos you included!

    Hi Victoria! I love when I meet people that have had a long journey of different hair colors since I get really scared whenever I dye mine. I always have impulses to change my hair but I never go through with it, when reading your blog it reminded me about the first time I ever dyed my hair because the lady doing it told me that my hair took the bleach really well since I had virgin hair and now I wonder how many sessions i'd have to have go through now to get a lighter color. I really liked your blog, & i'm excited to read more of your entries!

    I always think about wanting to dye my hair but never go through with it because of how much you need to take care of it so I always love to see it on other people!

    Your passion for hair dye really shines through in your blog. I totally get the struggle with fading since I've dyed my hair purple twice throughout my life.

Entry #1: ZZZZZZ

One of my hobbies are to sleep! Whenever I can, I will take a nap. It is common for us humans to lack the importance of understanding how much sleep your body needs. One of the things for humans to function is to get enough rest. Sleeping gives your body time to regenerate. Being a college student can means that getting rest can be very hard. Studies have shown that a great percent of college students do not get very good sleep. One suspicion for this is that they might not understand that it is so important. With this being said, I will dig deeper into consequences of sleep deprivation.  Image Source To start with, sleep deprivation is, simply, not getting enough sleep. When you really look into it, your body will start to have problems from not sleeping for a long period of time.  After not sleeping for a long period of time or even if you're not frequently sleeping, the cognitive function in your brain starts to go down. Along with this, mood changes might begin and paranoia can

Entry #4: Being a twin!

Image
One of the biggest parts of my life, since I was born of course, is being a twin! It is such a blessing to be a twin and it is also very unique. I am an identical twin so that means that both my sister and I come from the same fertilized egg. I am going to explain a little more on how twins are formed and also how we share the same DNA.  Identical twins are monozygotic . This means that one single egg splits into two separate embryos. Something to help with the understanding of identical twins is that they come from the same genetic material. This means their DNA is almost exactly the same. Although we come from the same egg, we are not exact copies of each other. Genetic mutations play a part in this. This is because over time, DNA grows so we are now doing it independently. Going further into this, identical twins look very alike. Here is an example of my twin and I!  As you can see, we look extremely alike! This tends to have people confusing us a lot. There are things that distingu

A big part of my life, just like everyone else, is work. Lucky for me, my work revolves around ice cream. I work at Bruster's Real Ice Cream and I am very proud to say so. I have worked there coming up on a year this month. This job is not only fun and in a good environment, but very understanding. The owner works around my school schedule so I can work and go to school. It is very important to be happy at work and this is why.  Image Source  Working in a good environment is great for so many reasons. One of these reasons is that a good work environment means there is also good work being done. According to Zipdo , approximately 70% of employees exceed what they are expected of when they have a good working environment. I can assure you that this is definitely the case at Bruster's. Along with the increased productivity, another advantage of working in a good environment is that it increases job satisfaction. Employees are more likely to stay at a workplace and enjoy it when th
