Hair coloring

The is not as simple as it looks. I just changed the professional line of hair color I use to Matrix Logics. I used the Framesi line for years, which is a good hair color product, but I was seeing some results from Logics that I really liked and I think change is good every so often so, I decided to change. Well, it was a bigger project than I thought and it brought to mind the problems you How To, DIY’ers are up against when trying to choose the right hair color from a chart of hair colors.“Chart of Hair Colors isn’t always what it seems”
My experience tells me MOST people who experiment with home hair color, (especially those who are new to using a chart of hair colors,) will get in WRONG!  It’s not that you can’t get a hair color that you like over-the-counter, many people can, but sometimes only after the pain of getting it very wrong!  It’s more about not knowing how to read a chart of hair colors and about not knowing your own base hair color and not taking the time to read all directions.
To come up with the hair color you desire this formula needs to be used: Starting hair color + new hair color = finished hair color.
The problem most people have is they look at a chart of hair colors and choose, let’s say, dark brown with light gold highlights and think that’s what they will get!  It may seem logical but . . . that won’t happen! The problem is their starting hair color was not considered and it contributes to the outcome of the finished hair color.
The colors to choose from on any chart of hair colours have levels and tones to consider. Levels of hair color have to do with darkest color (black) to the lightest color (platinum blondes). Tones have to do with cool or warm tones like, ash tones, red tones or golden tones.
To give you an idea of how I use a chart of hair colors; this is what I used to reformulate my hair color. I was a level 7 (light golden brown) and wanted to deepen my hair color to a level 5 (medium brown) and tone down the gold.
Starting hair color + new hair color = finished hair color
Starting hair color – Roots are a level 4 with over 50% gray.  Rest of hair is colored a light golden brown level 7.

New hair color –  Permanent hair color –  Equal parts 6NN and 4NN with 20 volume developer on roots for 45 minutes.  Rest of hair used a demi-permament hair color 2 parts 6N to 1 part 8G with 5 volume developer for 20 minutes.
Finished hair color – Level 5 (medium brown hair) with warmth
This formula worked perfect for my desired results!  On the contrary, if I had just picked up a box of hair color ‘medium brown’ and just poured it on my head; I would have ended up with lighter roots and black hair!
A professional has more control of the hair color you can achieve. But, if you want to do your own at home, remember not to choose a color just by its name or color on the front of the box, but read the chart of colors, read the back of the box thoroughly, know your own base hair color and take your time to get it right – or DON’T do it!

Fall Hair Trends – Short Sexy Bangs Hairstyles

Even though fall hair trends cover the gamut of long, medium and short hair and bangs or no bangs, “it’s the shorter hairstyles that will stand out this fall” says Oribe, celebrity hair guru.  And I think he’s right that short bangs hairstyles will really stand out this fall, as long hair has become so common.“No Fuss fall-hair-trends"
My guess is the fall hair trend that will be requested most often will be the new medium and short bob hairstyles that we see cropping up all over Hollywood.  It’s easier for most of us to make smaller commitments when it comes to changing our hairstyles. It’s easier to trim old summer damaged ends off into medium layered haircuts.   But, it’s these short and sweet, inspired by Rihanna hairstyles that will most likely be the most noticed fall hair trend this year.

Love the caramel hair highlights on Oprah even if it is a wig! Short bangs hairstyles like these don’t need much fuss, just a little product to smooth and add shine and need I say . . . keeping the hair in great condition.

Here is how Ulta hair stylist Rodney Cutler, created this short fall hair trend above.

Then using a circular pattern blow-dry clockwise and then counter-clockwise. Continue to dry the hair back and forth until the hair is completely dry.

   
• Apply a few drops of Redken glass 01 smoothing serum in the palms of your hands and warm between the hands. Run your fingers through the hair to create shine and a subtle textured finish.

   
• Lightly spritz with Redken quick dry 18 instant finishing spray for a manageable, all-day hold.

TYPES OF ECO CYCLES

BIO-GEOCHEMICAL CYCLES:

INTRODUCTION

Organisms are built up on chemical substances.

These chemicals enter the organisms from the environment and come out after undergoing changes or without changes.

        The cyclic path of nutrients from the abiotic system to the biotic system  and back is called biogeochemical cycles also called nutrient cycles. cycle

PHASES OF BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES

BIOTIC – Flow of nutrients in the living organisms through food chain

ABIOTIC – Flow of nutrients in the non-living environment.

TYPES OF BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES

GASEOUS CYCLES   

        Main reservoirs are atmosphere and oceans.E.G. Carbon,nitrogen,oxygen cycle.

SEDIMENTARY CYCLES          

        Main reservoirs are soil and rocks. E.G. Sulphur cycle, phosphorous cycle etc..

CARBON CYCLE

It is the cyclic path of carbon

Flow of carbon into the Biotic system

Photosynthesis

Formation of shell

CO₂ + H ₂O                             H ₂CO₃

H ₂CO₃                                        H⁺ + HCO₃

HCO₃ +Ca⁺                             H⁺ + CaCO₃

Flow of carbon into the Abiotic system

Respiration

Decomposition

Shells

Coal deposition

NITROGEN CYCLE

Cyclic path of nitrogen, it is a gaseous cycle.

Flow of nitrogen into the biotic system

Electrochemical fixation   - nitrogen fixed by lightening

Biological fixation       - this is done by certain organisms called nitrogen fixers(Rhizobium,Nitrosomonas,Nitrococcus,Anabena…)

Flow of Nitrogen into the Abiotic system

Decomposition

Excretion

ECOSYSTEM

ecosystemAn ecosystem is sum total of living organisms, the environment and the process of interaction between and within all parts of the system.
DYNAMICS OF ECOSYSTEM
The various components of the ecosystem constitute an interacting system.
The nutrients and minerals circulate and recirculated between the two factors.
The flow of energy is one way, once used by the ecosystem, it is lost.
The dynamics of the ecosystem constitutes the following
Energy
Food chain
Food web
Trophic levels
Energy flow
Ecological pyramids
Bio-geochemical cycles.
ENERGY
It is the ability to do work
The ultimate source of energy is derived from the sun.
Plants utilize only 0.02% of the energy reaching the earth.
The light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of sugar by photosynthesis.

6H2O+6CO2+Light 6C6H12O6+ 6O2

FOOD CHAIN
The biotic factors of the ecosystem are linked together by food
The sequence of eaters being eaten is called food chain.
FOOD WEB
Many interconnected food chain is called food web.
TROPHIC LEVELS
The various steps in a food chain is called trophic levels. (restricted to 4 or 5)
ENERGY FLOW
The transfer of energy flow from one trophic level to another is called energy flow.
The energy flow is always unidirectional.
