Makeup and Beauty

There was a time when grey hair were symbolic of old age. They signified seniority and experience. But things have changed now. Most of the young men and women find their hair are going pre-mature grey, and hence they are left with no option but to resort to dyeing. Fashion hair colors are in vogue. Women bleach their hair and dye in different colors. With advancing age, greying starts with random grey hair but soon it catches on rapidly.
On spotting one or two grey hair, women tend to pull them out, which is a wrong practice. One hair pulled, gives birth to a couple of other grey hair. When hair is pulled with a jerk, the roots secrete a liquid which spreads to other hair affecting them too. They also turn grey. If at all you wish to get rid of the few grey hair you have, do not pull them. Cut them off with scissors near the root. Many times, grey hair comes off while brushing or combing. Hair can be dyed by three methods :
1. Dyeing with coloring oil.
2. Dyeing with herbs.
3. Dyeing with chemical hair dyes.
Herbal dyes are not permanent. Herbs used for dyeing are henna, walnut bark and tea leaves. Of these, henna is more popular. People prefer chemical dyes. The dyes are more or less permanent and if dyed well, hair looks almost natural black. Chemical hair dyes are not affected by climate, season, water and soap. These dyes are made with chemicals like ‘para’, hydrogen peroxide and others.
