Pink Hair – It’s A Love Affair

Posted on by blogger

Ever wanted to dye your hair pink? As a professional hair stylist I would say THE most popular alternative hair colour request is for pink hair, so you’re not alone. Pink hair is like the blonde hair of the alternative world. Why? Because they both got binga-banga-bing-bong sex appeal! Lets look at the whys and wherefores of pink hair and what pink hair dye says about you…

Pink hair – Meaning and Symbolism

Pink is traditionally a girl’s colour, and as a result pink is associated with youthfulness, love and femininity. Pink is a softer, less violent red. Both colors denote love, but while red is direct, hot and passionate, pink is playful, flirtatious and romantic. “Dressed in Pink Makes The Boys Wink” is an old expression suggesting that men find pink attractive. In Japan, the sex appeal of pink is well known. Japanese adult movies are known as ‘pink films’ due to pink’s sexual connotations. In feng shui, the colour pink is connected to love and marriage and is believed to soothe the heart.

Pink Hair – Fame and Celebrity

Pink is probably the most famous alternative hair colour. P!nk, the singer, made her name from her iconic pink hair. Lily Allen also made an entrance with flamingo pink hair at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards. Avril Lavigne’s blonde and pink streaks are famous in her music video “Girlfriend”. Gwen Stefani had memorable pink hair back in 2000. Kelly Osbourne (daughter of Ozzy Osbourne) not only likes pink hair on herself but has also dyed her dog’s fur bright pink. In 2006, actress Rachel McAdams sparked the question “Is pink the new blonde?” with her punkish fuschia streaks.

Teen singer Joss Stone dyed her hair pink to annoy her record label bosses after they begged her to become a blonde. MySpace models Audrey Kitching and super drag queen Jeffrey Star both made a reputation with their iconic pink hair. Britney Spears even has her pink wig. Tarina Tarantino the jewelry designer is also famous for her pink hair, and even teamed up with Barbie to produce the limited edition Tarina Tarantino Barbie doll – with, of course, bright pink hair. Lastly, let’s not forget My Little Pony with its original bright pink mane. Having so many celebrities – usually alternative celebrities to some degree – adopt pink hair at one time or another only increases the popularity of having pink hair.

Pink Hair – Psychology

Pink is the ‘sweet’ colour that makes things taste ‘better’

As it happens, pink has an interesting physiological on effect people. It’s actually known to makes us crave sugar. This is partially why pink dye is added to cotton candy (or “fairy floss, although it would be a brave fairy – or a little runty one that’s been bullied by the tooth fairy – who’d floss their teeth with pure pink sugar”) since processed sugar is white. Psychological studies have also shown that sweet pastries are thought to taste better when they come out of pink boxes or are served on pink plates.

Calming pink could sap Samson’s strength better than a haircut

Pink has also been found to have a tranquilizing effect. Some studies of the colour pink suggest that male weightlifters seem to lose strength in pink rooms. Prison holding cells have been painted pink as an experiment and have effectively reduced erratic behavior. The tranquilizing effect of the colour pink was made use of at Iowa State University in the 1970s: Football coach Hayden Fry had the visiting team’s locker room painted pink as a much-debated attempt to, erm, relax the players more than they would have liked!

Back to Hair – What Colours Work With Pink Streaks?

Pink streaks in your hair can look really stunning when you match them with complementary colours. Pink’s opposite colour in the colour wheel is light green, so this combination will give a great contrast. Pink fortunately works well with almost all the other colours. One good combination would be pink and blue streaks. The only two that it will clash with is red and orange.

If you just want pink streaks and an all-over natural colour, I would suggest using black if you like hot pink, and light blonde if you want candy pink streaks. Brown bases can look OK, but to really get those pink streaks standing out I’d suggest blonde of black for the natural all-over colour. Red heads with pink streaks usually don’t work unless you’re specifically looking for a colour clash. For any combinations, you’ll need to put the colour in foil packets to stop them mixing.

Thing to Watch Out for When You Dye Your Hair Pink

If you have had a previous alternative colour in your hair and it has washed out but you still have residue, you need to consider how this may effect the the result of the new shade of pink you wish to dye your hair…

For example: If I have recently had blue in my hair, my hair will still have a pale blue residue. If I then want to put pink over it the result will be more of a purplish-pink colour. (BLUE + PINK = PURPLE)

Another example: If I previously had yellow in my hair last time, I will have a pale yellow residue left. If I then want to put pink over it, the result will be more of a light orange colour. (YELLOW + PINK = LIGHT ORANGE)

Another thing to consider with dyeing your hair pink is which shade of pink you want to go for. How long do you want the colour to last? The darker the shade of pink dye, the longer it lasts, and the lighter the shade, the quicker it fades. For example, Special Effects Atomic Pink Dye can last for a month (or more if you know how to maintain) but FUDGE Paintbox Pink Moon may only last two weeks.

Finally… Is Pink Truly the New Blonde?

I’ll let you decide. But one thing’s for sure – pink hair is here to stay.

And now, if you’ll excuse me, I feel a deep and unnatural urge to eat some candy floss…

Feng Shui Beginners Tips … Remodel For Harmony

Posted on by blogger

Feng Shui has just recently come to the forefront in the DIY home remodeling and decorating world. Do-it-yourself homeowners are learning about and implementing concepts from Feng Shui accordingly. As the economy experiences more problems and people become more nervous, this system of a healthy, more prosperous life becomes more attractive. In fact, many who laughed at the idea of Feng Shui just a few years ago are now solid converts!

Feng Shui is made of several absolutes, such as the Five Elements: water, wood, earth, metal and fire, the Colors: those which comprise the Yen & Yang expressions of mood, the Rules, and the Bagua Map: a plan of aligning your environment according to a prescribed template. All this may seem a bit restrictive but the outcome of implementing and following these directives may result in a more freeing, peaceful attitude. A little like learning to play the piano. The more time you spend learning and practicing, the freer you play.

The Five Elements are important as each has its specific properties. Water is fluid, and associates with communication and career. Also, it has some connection to abundance, making it vital to incorporate into any plans for your home office or work. A small fountain or fish aquarium will also add a peaceful sound and a pleasant feeling. Wood brings a feeling of strength and is thought to enhance creativity. A wood desk, wood furniture, wood room divider or a wood paneled wall brings positive energy.

Earth denotes permanence, stability and family home. There are three areas of your life Earth relates to; your health, your relationships and your awareness. Potted plants and “earthy” colors may bring you back “down to earth” and increase your stability, well being and your effective learning. Metal is strength. It draws attention and transmits energy, bringing in sharpness and clarity. Metal accents, bowls and pots are advised. Fire is power. Power to help and to destroy! Passion, love, energy and danger. The enthusiasm to succeed may lead to aspirations of power. Perhaps a simple candle or two here.

Feng Shui Colors are important to understand when you redecorate or remodel and are specific to the room they appear in. For instance, colors used in your office will be different than those used in your bedroom. Each color also has very specific meanings and symbolism. Red relates to high energy, emotion and good luck while blues and greens are healing, growth and wealth. Yen & Yang are all about colors. Yin colors are those which are calming-blues, greens and “cooler” colors-while Yang colors stimulate and motivate. These, in turn, are “warmer” colors, such as orange, reds and yellows. Consider the purpose of each room and work your colors around that.

Feng Shui Rules revolve around simplicity. Although there are numerous definitions, Feng Shui Rules can be stated as that which calms, simplifies, organizes and de-clutters our lives. Feng Shui literally means “wind water” in Chinese and the rules are directed toward providing a flowing, free yet organized “Chi” if followed. Chi (or ch’i, pronounced k-eye) is the concept that everything has its own energy, which is constantly changing and flowing through space. Simplicity is the first rule, but its followed closely by “remove clutter!” Others are; incorporate natural elements, use calming colors, be aware of your surroundings, separate the living areas according to purpose and remove things which do not have a positive influence on you.

The Bagua Map (or simply Bagua) is important to be aware of, as it directs the actual room locations and flow of energy (chi) within the room and through the home. Not only does the location of each room matter, but the colors and elements in each room, as well. The Feng Shui Bagua Map also shows how the nine areas of our lives relate. These are; Wealth, Reputation, Love, Family, Health, Children, Knowledge, Career and Friends/Guides/Travel.

Thankfully, a complete understanding of Feng Shui is not as important as implementing as many of the Five Elements, Colors, Rules and the Bagua as we can. If you work at home and have a dedicated room or area for your office, there are things you can do to inflate the possibility of wealth. Changing the colors in the kitchen may bring about better nutrition and health. Rearrange the furniture to create energy.

Things They Never Told Me At School But Could Have

Posted on by blogger

It’s funny, but when asked about things learnt that have served to be the greatest contribution to their lives most people will not mention anything from schools days. Have you noticed this? I can say that the things I have learnt which have served as a platform for personal growth did not come from the classroom.

Basically, the education system with its tunnel-minded curriculum is designed to make young people fit into boxes for the corporations and suchlike when they come out. In a way, that means, you’re going to have to make up for an absence of really learning about life!

Here are 7 things they never told me at school (but could have).

1. The Importance of Communication

We were never told the importance of communication or trained in this area. Effective communication brings together so many different things and therefore serves as a great life handling tool: Great relationships, successful projects, achievements… are all routed in effective communication.

2. Everything is the expression of consciousness

Life shows up as a consequence of where you are consciously at: Your thoughts, feelings and emotions, attitude… all contribute to the life that ‘shows up’ for you. So, if you don’t like the life you’re living then change these things. For example, if you find yourself in victimhood circumstances (the symptoms of victim consciousness) then look at where you are consciously at and change these things (the root cause).

3. Natural health

Like other schools we had our share of economics teachers but no one ever said that the best investment in life you could ever make is in your health. Because of corporate interests the education curriculum generally focuses only on pharmaceutical approaches when it comes to health. Alternative practitioners and great pioneers with their potentially life-saving approaches based on natural health have been ignored. There are 4 things that support good health. They are: Nutrition, exercise, attitude in life and the environment, but sadly, this is not given enough attention.

4. Applying philosophy

In school we never talked that much about life. No curriculum was ever set up to have conversations and discussions with our teachers on how to handle life; dealing with problems, or how to make relationships work… etc, the things that matter most to us. Sadly most people grow up, possibly out of school habit, seldom talk about life and spend much of their time talking meaningless nah, nah, nah nothings… and look at the result: A world full of people going nowhere in their lives, just like the soap opera characters on TV. Philosophy doesn’t have to be just mere armchair discussion. It can be used to practically apply ideas in life, hence the empowering phrase ‘applying philosophy.’

5. Being yourself

You don’t have to just be some corporate cog-in-wheel care of the education system’s grooming. I have learned that being yourself is your biggest strength. More than ever, particularly on the humanitarian front, the world needs people to think for themselves. Realize that there are other ways, different to this education sausage machine that turns out well educated clones unable to really think for themselves. As Albert Einstein once said “Real thinking is to think the unthinkable…” History has shown outside-of-the-box individuals thinking for themselves and they have contributed greatly to humanity…

6. Having a deep and genuine love for yourself

How do you expect to have a deep and genuine love flowing out there with your family, friends, groups, communities, the environment or all things spiritual… and then have it return on you when you had not began that deep and genuine love right there with your own self? This is consistent with 2 above that life shows up as a consequence of where you are consciously at.

7. The past is your biggest enemy in life

I was never told at school how to learn to realise that my past can run me instead of me running it: Fear, anxiety or an unwillingness to be creative and adventurous… are the operatives here. Because this subject could go into great lengths I’ve decided to make it something for another day. Simpler to say to be in present time, the only place where life exists is something to be cherished and mastered.

Of course, there were others but I’ll leave there, at least for now.
