Hair Loss

Hair Loss

I found a great source of information where you can find out what is the cause of Hair Loss.

Eric Berg is the person who talks about the hair loss in the video below.

(example: If you think to start a diet, think twice before you limit your food intake, watch his video )

Bleaching the Hair

Bleaching The Hair
This post is about bleaching the hair
It will be short post based on science and I will just direct you to the source of my information
I feel that I don't have to write much about this subject because you can find so much information on youtube about bleach or just google about bleaching the hair, so here you can find just basic info and few links.

First question
What is hair bleach  made off?

Ingredients:

( this is only sample info based on ingredients of one product)
Potassium Persulfate, Sodium Metasilicate, Ammonium Persulfate, Sodium Stearate, Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil), Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba (Guar) Gum, Solanum Tuberosum (Potato) Starch, Silica, Sodium Persulfate, EDTA, CI 77007
How the hair bleach works?
Answer here
Does hair bleach damage the hair?
Photo of the damaged hair you can find here  
In my opinion, the hair looks more damage if we keep the bleach 15 min not 30 min ...
For black hair you will have to bleach your hair3x  this info is based on this photo
I found great info over here   which bleach is better but this info is based only on 3 different products 
Interesting fact:
The science discovered new layer in the hair and this  new layer can be really important to keep the hair strong  so hopefully new products could be available soon to keep our hair much more stronger
check this info here
The most important info I would like to add to my blog is Olaplex

It is a great product which you have to add to the bleach to keep the hair in the best condition 
It comes as a set of 3 
More info you can find here 
There is one more thing what can make our hair stronger 
More about OFPMA you can find here

My first attempt to make a wig

My first attempt to make a wig

I didn't know how difficult is to make a wig
I had some hair extensions and thought that I can make a wig from it
For the base, I use a net and start to sew the hair extensions to it.

To complete full head lace wig you will need around 30 hair extensions ( I had around 16?)
After 1 hr I completed 3/4 of the wig and I had no more hair extensions to sew it to the net :(
I could buy more hair extensions but I didn't want to wait so I cut off the empty front bit of the net and decided to just leave it like this.
I sewed few clips to the net to pin the wig easy to my hair and this is the result very long hair
( my own hair is a medium length only)

You can see that the wig is very visible at the top of my head I could cover it up with my own hair but my hair's depth is 6, the wig is made of mix of dark brown and black hair extensions and it doesn't much with my own hair
This all experience helped me to understand how much hair extensions I will need to make a wig with good density of the hair. 
Probably I will use this wig for some college project in the future. 
The link to my video you can find below 



I found great website 

This website belongs to charity which provides wigs for children with cancer 
The wigs are free of charge for this children

You can donate your hair ( good quality hair, virgin hair ) and your hair can be used to make the wig for those children who need them.

WorldSkills UK Competition 2016

WorldSkills UK competition 2016
The head block's hair is not so easy to lighten  (Photo 2)
I did hair strand test this week to see how the hair reacts to bleach 
I used 12% developer with lightener and some of the strands of the hair after 20 min were still black ???
Here you have close up look at the result

I think this head block is made probably from synthetic hair as well, not just a human hair ( can you see one black hair strand ? The description says it is 100 % human hair ??  )
It would be great to work on real human's hair. After all, I would like to submit my work to WorldSkills competition so it is very important to me to get the best hair colour as possible.

My college provided for me this head block on the photo below

Update 19 May 2016

My tutor announced to me that I pass the first stage of WorldSkills Competition :)
I am so happy 

I was a bit shocked because I know so many great hairdressers.They submitted their photos of their haircuts but they did not meet the specific criteria ...
I can't believe that my work got through to the next stage :)

The WorldSkills Competiton is in Brasil this year so it could be a great honor represent The Bournemouth and Poole College in Brasil if I get trough the next task.

I have to do two haircuts (for man and woman) and one hairstyle.
It is a new challenge :)


I had to lighten the hair to get this nice blond colour

It looks amazing

The design is great
The details of the eyes and make up this head block looks very pretty and the hair is good too, a bit short at the back but you can still do many hairstyles on it

Edgy / Pixy Haircut and Color Psycho

Edgy / Pixy Haircut 

The length of the hair on the frontal and parietal bones is very long and on the occipital bone is very short
At the front, I cut triangle shape using scissors but to get more soft lookI use the razor which helps get soft cut and blend the layers very well
Front part of the hair I blended in with back and sides

Soon I will add the video showing this haircut from close up :) so don't forget to come back and see it :)
I used 3 x Color Psycho semi-permanent hair color cream  ( wild violet, wild blue,wild fuschia )
The colours are very strong and if you drop a bit on your carpet it will be hard to remove the stain from it :)
Below you have few links to amazon where you can check those products
