  • Finding the Right Hair Colour for You

    Finding the Right Hair Colour for You

    Colouring your own hair is hardly unpopular nowadays, no longer is it just to cover grey, people use it as a statement of their individuality. And it is no further simply brown and dark (in terms of colour) individuals are opting for their tinkering with a variety of colours.

    There are lots of ways your own hair can be coloured by you, some everlasting and some momentary. Among the most typical methods specifically for young adults is bleach which eliminates or bleaches the entire colour from their hair. There are also lasting hair-colouring products that colour your hair. These function by using an oxidizing agent (hydrogen peroxide) and an alkalizing component (ammonia) to raise the cuticle of the hair base and permit the colour to enter underneath the area. For this reason hair could experience dryness after using a lasting colour.

    Quantities of various hair-colouring items are in the marketplace, therefore look around. It’s likewise relevant to perform a little patch-test on your skin to ensure you’re not sensitive to the substances in the dye/colour. How can you select the right colour for your hair?

    Deciding on the Best hair colour

    Whenever you get into a store, you do observe small sample colours alongside each container of dye, purchasing that colour does not imply that your own hair can come out in that same colour. The dyes interact with your unique colour and shades to produce a colour unique to you. Therefore, before colouring your whole head it is important to do a small strand test.

    Aside from which product you purchase it will be instructed to do a little test on one’s hair.

    Below is how it works;

    Mix a little quantity of colour together in a bowl.

    Select a little bit of hair and use the colouring on the hair. I suggest you cut a bit of hair off.

    Follow the instructions on the product package in terms of timing, and then wash away

    Be sure you view the hair in variety of colour lights both inside and outside to make sure that you love it.

    Taking care of Coloured Hair;

    Because of the possible harm dyes can do to the hair, you have to consider additional treatment for it. Here are few ideas to make sure your hair stays lively and balanced;

    Look for shampoo particularly created for colour-treated hair (Revlon, L’oreal, and Clairol are great products)

    Protect your hair from sun-exposure.

    Condition your hair regularly with a specially formulated conditioner

    When your hair is moist make use of a broad toothcomb.

    If you are worried about colouring your own hair permanently, begin with a semi permanent colour first.

  • Scientific reasons why you should not be pretty

    Scientific reasons why you should not be pretty

    As you grow up, discover the world, your true potential in life and all that.. Life keeps proving that luck is only granted to good looking people! Pretty girls and handsome men gives what people call good 1st impression. Hundreds of magazines, human development books, courses, clinics are completely devoted to only enhance people’s appearances.

    I mean by pretty here, is the form everyone trying to resemble, let me tell you something, there is no ugly people – for real!

     

    .Big noses are good for your health – No kidding!

    Size and the shape of noses are always a big topic, people are always concerning themselves with it’s size and how it looks in pictures and mirrors,  more than 50,000 rhinoplasties are done per year in the United States. Which is a big number, relatively.

    But the thing is, researchers say it is more healthy to have a big nose than a small one, bigger noses give you protection against bacteria and infections. An experiment was carried out, researchers made two artificial noses, one of them 2.3 times the size of the other. They found that the bigger nose inhaled 6.5 percent fewer particles. The result was positive regarding big noses.

    Do you have a big nose? You are a survival.

    They say people with big noses are interesting “They are given character”.

    .Short people live longer.

    Scientific studies have showed a direct connection between short height and long life.

    Short men were found to live longer than taller people since they carry a gene that protects them from the effects of aging.

    Past studies have examined the relationship between height and lifespan of populations around the world, assuming that taller people generally live shorter lives,

    .Fat people don’t break.

    Thijs R. Klompmaker of the Netherlands, well known by “Wai Genriju” believe that fat people have better bone health than thin people, as they tend to have elevated levels of the leptin Hormone.

    So fat people are more likely to have better bone health than thin people! If you are fat, you are not supposed to be broken easily!

                                                                                                                     Fat is the new sexy

    Most people look alike by away or another, through fashion trends, Gym, diets.. Even though it is not wrong to work hard to look good on the outside but you have to know clearly that there are things that shapes your character.

    Embrace your natural looking, put confidence in it and eventually you will be charismatic and pretty. Turn the table around and be a new possibility and express beauty by your own language. Or you can just ignore these words of wisdom because they are so common and just do whatever you want!

  • 8 things only INTP personality will understand

    8 things only INTP personality will understand

    Being one of the very few 3% of population is difficult!

    INTP personality is one of Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) 16 personalities types

    INTP is an abbreviation stands for,

    • I – Introversion

    Means INTP get their energy from inside of themselves; they don’t need to be energized by outer stimuli

    • N – Intuition

    INTPs See the bigger picture, think in an abstract way and look for future possibilities more than immediate applications

    • T – Thinking

    They make decisions depending on their minds not feelings. Because they prioritize objective thinking

    • P – Perception

    Being freedom lovers, INTPs delay taking decisions or making judgments, prefer to keep all possibilities open

    Now you think being INTP is easy, believe me it’s not!

    This list will tell you why?

     

    1 – Ideas are everywhere, NO REALLY EVERYWHERE!

    INTPs minds explode with thoughts from the moment they wake up, the funny part is they are very calm and oriented with their mind explosions.

    In the time people get distracted if they had 2 ideas at the same time, INTP will be constructing a full debate about something taking into account ALL variables and possibilities that can affect their argument!

     

    2- Don’t lie to me; I’ll appreciate your honesty more than your good words

    Knowing they are VERY open minded and flexible humans, INTPs HATE being lied to.

    Another reason is their sanctification of truth, and you are here trying to manipulate truth! HELL NO!

     

    3- We might hurt you badly, but won’t realize it!

     

    INTPs are RADICALLY honest and have very underdeveloped emotional perceptions; they just don’t understand it and consider it irrational!

    Don’t think that INTP will understand when you try to explain why your mutual friend was upset that time when he told him “you are very slow in understanding this, never mind I won’t explain it again!“ . Because for INTP what he said was the objective truth and people shouldn’t be upset of what’s real!

     

    4 – RESPECT my personal space, OR…

    “We appreciate those who respect our personal space and we respect people’s personal space in return”

    INTPs are very private; you don’t expect to understand them in couple of weeks or so. They like to keep things for themselves, either because they face a hard time explaining the complexity of their thoughts, or because they see their inner world a very precious place that no one can enter.

    5- Study is a hobby, and knowledge is entertaining!

    Yes you read it right. When kids in high schools struggle to understand algebra equations or that logical argument, INTP will be

    having THE TIME OF HIS LIFE slicing those problem sets into their basic structures, and solving them

    When they grow up, reading books, watching documentaries, learning new languages will be rituals for them

    In a matter of fact, anything in this world is a potential search project for them, even lyrics Nicki Minaj songs!

    INTP’s quality time is not with people, it’s in learning new stuff

     

    6-The infamous: NEVER MIND!

     

    INTPs think in a very complex ways. They build sophisticated systems in their minds and expect everyone to understand it the first time it’s explained. When someone can’t understand it, they will get disappointed that people can’t get this very simple principle!, and will reply with “ok, never mind!

     

    7- We are better, period.

    INTPs have an inner secrete believe they are different and superior to others. In a matter of fact if you want to upset an INTP, compare him to another person and see the look on his face!

     

    8- When we say we don’t care, we mean it.

    Because it means we lost our innate curiously about that subject – which is our ultimate drive-, so we simply move on!

     

     

     

     

  • Do you complain of low energy level – Try To Balance Your World

    Do you complain of low energy level – Try To Balance Your World

    Do you complain of low energy level – Try To Balance Your World

    Hey! Before starting with this article, we need to be standing on the same ground. Do you believe that the world is all connected together? Somehow, everything can have something to do with everything.

    Like how come you complain of low physical or mental energy level, when you had a complete 8 hours of beauty sleep? You even started your day right, woke up early, jogged and had your coffee!

    Well, I’m here to tell you, you can start paying some attention to your food chain. Dietitian and fitness expert Rebecca Scritchfield says “If you know your sleep is in check [and] you’re getting a good amount of exercise, it’s definitely time to take a look at the food intake and how high quality is your diet,”

    Even though taking care of your food wont fix your entire life and make you the happiest person living, but taking care of vital details can actually make difference. For instance, the difference can show in your biological age! You are what you eat, remember?!

    The specialist Scritchfield kept a record of frequent important nutrients that happened to be absent with most of her clients.

    Iron:

    Iron is important to your body, it’s role is carrying oxygen from your lungs and transport it to all of your body. Since it is an essential component of Hemoglobin, If you don’t have enough iron, your body can’t make enough healthy oxygen-carrying red blood cells.

    Some statistics show that women run short of iron more than men, I myself don’t know why but its frequent absence might cause anemia! So Let’s list the food highly rich with iron:

    • Liver
    • Sunflower seeds
    • Nuts
    • Beef
    • Lamb
    • Beans
    • dark leafy greens (spinach)
    • dark chocolate
    • tofu.

    When Scritchfield’s clients change their diet to include more of these two nutrients, she says they often report that they feel better instantly. “I think it’s a combination of mental and physical, because they feel better and they’re not trying to cope with their low energy by just eating sugary foods.”

     

    The B Vitamins:

    Energy, that is the function of Vitamin B in your body, It gets energy from your food and supply you with it. Vitamin B deficiencies can cause problems such as tiredness, abdominal pain and numbness. Depression, anemia and respiratory infections can also result from vitamin B deficiencies.

    It can be found in foods such as meat, fish, and dairy products. It can also be made in a laboratory.

    Isn’t it nice to know more about your body? Balanced diet can make a real difference and you wont know till you try.

    You are what you eat..

    Whatever you are complaining about, widen your horizons and think of all reasons, your breakfast might be one. Your daily routine or your busy schedule.

    Scritchfield says, the good feelings starts with taking care of yourself. “Get good sleep and eat well, and you will feel better and you will feel that energy come back,” she promises.

  • The reason behind why Tom cruise and Nicole Kidman did not attend their daughter’s wedding

    The reason behind why Tom cruise and Nicole Kidman did not attend their daughter’s wedding

     

    Isabella Cruise is born on December 22, 1992.
    Isabella  is one of the two adopted children of the two famous Hollywood stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. After Cruise and Kidman’s divorce, Isabella and another adopted child Connor Antony, decides to stay with their father Cruise in Los Angeles.

    Now Bella is 22 years old, smart and beautiful and it happened that she did not invite her famous parents to her wedding. As she was seen with her boyfriend Max Parker on 18 September in London’s Dorchester Hotel, apparently the happy couple wanted a small ceremony that only included friends.

    Some said Cruise was there and some other said Cruise was definitely not there, its rather confusing! Also there were conflicting reports weather her adopted brother Connor has attended or not.
    But some sources said “Bella really didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. There wasn’t even any sort of official reception as was very, very informal.”
    Bella and Conner in their childhood, most of the time saw media and paparazzi surrounding them or their parents when they went public. So probably Bella wanted a quiet ceremony.

    People reports that Tom supports the marriage and paid for the wedding.

    Bella got married in a white lace mini-dress and was accompanied by her bridesmaids, whom she met at the Vidal Sassoon Academy.

    Family relations can varies but parents not attending their daughter’s wedding is rather uncool.
    And we wonder when are we going to stop tracking people down and make noise out of their personal affairs. I believe this time will never come. Livelong Media!
    First reported by Woman’s Day magazine.
    About Scientology:
    Cruise is an outspoken advocate for the Church of Scientology and its associated social programs. He became involved with Scientology in 1990 through his first wife, Mimi Rogers. Cruise struggled with dyslexia at an early age and has said that Scientology, specifically the L. Ron Hubbard Study Tech, helped him overcome dyslexia. In addition to promoting various programs that introduce people to Scientology, Cruise has campaigned for Scientology to be recognized as a religion in Europe.
    On January 15, 2008, a video produced by the Church of Scientology featuring an interview with Cruise was posted on YouTube, showing Cruise discussing what being a Scientologist means to him.
    The Church of Scientology says that a human is an immortal, spiritual being (thetan) that is resident in a physical body. The thetan has had innumerable past lives and it is observed in advanced Scientology texts that lives preceding the thetan’s arrival on Earth were lived in extraterrestrial cultures. Based on case studies at advanced levels, it is predicted that any Scientologist undergoing auditing will eventually come across and recount a common series of events.
    In Scientology the human body is regarded as similar to that of other religions in that the spirit will then leave the body. “Life and personality go on. The physical part of the organism ceases to function.” (Ref: Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary)

    will you take the chance and do it ?

    Well , This man didn’t !

    The Origins 

    It all started in Chicago when Jimmy and his friends Tim Shell and Michael Davis decided to use their private company Bomis to launch Nupedia which is an English language encyclopedia where articles were written by expert volunteers and reviewed by expert editors – experts you say !

    “ The idea was to have thousands of volunteers writing articles for an online encyclopedia in all languages… It was no fun for the volunteer writers because we had a lot of academic peer review committees who would criticize articles and give feedback. It was like handing in an essay at grad school, and basically intimidating to participate in. “

    — Jimmy Wales on the Nupedia project New Scientist, January 31, 2007

     

    Leap of faith 

    On Monday 15 , January 2001 , Wikipedia had seen the light

    Jimmy Wales thought Wikipedia will be a “ complete rubbish

    Starting as a simple profitable project aiming to backup Nupedia  , then turning into the biggest open source , web-based encyclopedia .

    just like things turn out the EXACT way we expect , Wikipedia only needed couple of  days to prove itself as the new deal !

    It took Wikipedia few days to overly grow and exceed the number of articles on Neupedia

    Then a new concept was born . “Open source , web-based encyclopedia , that accepts contributions of ordinary people !”

    with patience and hard work , early editors , experts and regular people had built a self-regulated society that proven to be successful with time .

     

    And what did Jimmy gain from all this ?
    Nothing !
    He totally refused to cheapen the encyclopedia by using ads as a source of money
    Because accepting ads meant questioning the integrity of wiki , giving compensations , and even have wiki at the mercy of advertising companies where they might have some control over materials and publishing .

    And When Asked ?

    When asked on Quora “Is Jimmy Wales Rich ? “ , this was his response :

    “By any sane standard of measurement, yes, of course I’m rich.  Nearly half of the people on earth live on less than $2 a day.  I spend more than that on my cellphone bill. About 80% of the people on earth live on less than $10 a day.

    But the point I’m making is that people often get sucked into a way of thinking about things that makes them think that a reasonable standard for measuring whether someone is wealthy or not is appropriately measured relative to Mark Zuckerberg or the Google guys or whatever.

    But there’s another angle to this, and that is to ask what “wealth” means.  People who equate wealth in any serious way with “amount of money that you have” are missing a lot of richness in how humans value things.

    What I think people most value (or ought to most value) is rich and interesting life experiences.  On that level, there is no doubt that I’m rich, and much richer than one might imagine from my relatively meagre (compared to billionaires!) financial resources.  As I’ve mentioned in another Quora answer somewhere, there are car dealers in random Midwestern towns in the US who have vastly more money than I do.  But they have nothing like my quality of life as measured by interesting experiences.

    So, my final answer is: yes, I’m rich.  But not in the way most people think about the question.

    ** ‘ Jimmy’s reply on Quora ‘

     

    Being aware of the amount of money and luxurious life he’s wasting on himself for the sake of pure knowledge , Jimmy wales is taking Perfectionism to a whole new level .


     

    So the next time you check something on wiki , remember the great generosity standing behind the curtains of this phenomenal project  and think of ways to practice it yourself – you can start by donations

    Because people like Jimmy Wales , people like YOU , are the ones who give hope to this world !
