For freehand techniques such as balayage: There’s nothing quite like Blondor Freelights. We formulated it specifically for freehand, foil-free strokes, complete with an adhesive mass that ensures it stays in place. This means you don’t have to worry about blurring or bleeding while the lightener develops. Kintz, P.; Mangin, P.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] [ PubMed][ Green Version] It is substantiated by Iyengar's findings (1998) that UV light can enter into straight human hair roots (and thus into the body through the skin) via the hair shaft. Specifically, the results of that study suggest that this phenomenon resembles the passage of light through fiber optic tubes (which do not function as effectively when kinked or sharply curved or coiled). In this sense, when hominids (i.e. Homo erectus) were gradually losing their straight body hair and thereby exposing the initially pale skin underneath their fur to the sun, straight hair would have been an adaptive liability. By inverse logic, later, as humans traveled farther from Africa and/or the equator, straight hair may have (initially) evolved to aid the entry of UV light into the body during the transition from dark, UV-protected skin to paler skin.

Hair growth begins inside the hair follicle. The only "living" portion of the hair is found in the follicle. The hair that is visible is the hair shaft, which exhibits no biochemical activity and is considered "dead". The base of a hair's root (the "bulb") contains the cells that produce the hair shaft. [9] Other structures of the hair follicle include the oil producing sebaceous gland which lubricates the hair and the arrector pili muscles, which are responsible for causing hairs to stand up. In humans with little body hair, the effect results in goose bumps. Klausz, G.; Keller, E.; Rona, K. Hair analysis of abused drugs with gas-chromatography mass spectrometry. Acta Pharm.

They also play a key role in non-verbal communication by displaying emotions such as sadness, anger, surprise and excitement. In many other mammals, they contain much longer, whisker-like hairs that act as tactile sensors. Bajdek, Piotr (2015).

If you are using clips to section your hair for coloring it then DO NOT USE METAL CLIPS. Plastic clips must and should be the only clip used when you are coloring or chemically altering your hair. If you use metal clips with chemicals you can burn your scalp causing serious burns and in some cases, you will burn your hair strand to the point where it will fall out. Teerink, BJ (2003).

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] [ PubMed] The eyelash grows at the edges of the eyelid and protects the eye from dirt. The eyelash is to humans, camels, horses, ostriches etc., what whiskers are to cats; they are used to sense when dirt, dust, or any other potentially harmful object is too close to the eye. [32] The eye reflexively closes as a result of this sensation. Depending on where on the body a hair grows, the growth phase will last longer or shorter: For instance, the growth phase of hair on your head can last several years,, so it can grow to over a meter in length if you don't have it cut. The growth phase is especially short for eyelashes, eyebrows, nasal hair and ear hair. Those hairs only grow for about 100 to 150 days, so they can’t get that long.
