If you go to a salon, make sure you ask to be seated in a well ventilated area. In the case you are dying your hair at home make sure you open up all windows in the house so that you breathe in fresh air and not the toxic fumes. If you’re dying your hair at the salon or at home, make sure you still use safe techniques. What do I mean by safe techniques? You can have the dye applied directly on hair shaft, or pull hair through a cap since the cap covers the scalp. Also, use ammonia-free hair dye. Also, when dying your hair, make sure you stay covered if dying your hair at home. You’ll wanna wear gloves if you apply the dye yourself so it won’t absorb into the skin. You may even want to wear a long sleeve shirt for extra coverage so you don’t get it on your skin. Before you dye your whole head, test the dye on a strand because it may change from hormonal changes. In conclusion, before you want to dye your hair, check with a doctor to make sure it’s safe. Wait til the second trimester so no real harm can be done if possible to the baby. Also, make sure you stay in a ventilated area whether in a salon or at home. Stay well covered as well, don’t want skin to absorb hair

    Essay On Ombre Dying

    • 442 Words
    • 2 Pages

    With an ever-changing society, I have noticed that within the last 5 years both my friends, my peers, and I have adopted the innovation of ombre dying our hair. Ombre dyed hair appears to gradually get lighter throughout the length of the hair, meaning that the roots of the hair are the darkest in color and the ends of the hair are the lightest in color. Ombre dying can occur with any color hair, and can even occur in the form of a reverse ombre, where the roots are the lightest part of the hair and the ends are the darkest. The practice of ombre dying hair was adopted on the basis that it was a way to change your hair without making a drastic change to your full head of hair. Ombre dying stays within the color palette of your hair color and often doesn’t require your entire hair to be dyed so you can still have aspects of your…

    (Dalton, Clancy 830-668-602) “I have not given, received, or used any unauthorized assistance on this assignment.” Once the embryo reaches two to eight weeks, it begins to differentiate. Differentiation is the process that cells undergo to become specialized; a cell transforms from a general cell to a muscle cell which has differing characteristics in comparison to an unspecialized cell. At this stage as well as all stages of fetal development, it is especially important that the mother does everything possible to avoid anything to harm the baby. As a psychologist, I would suggest that the mother avoid all teratogens.…

    Effects of Smoking while Pregnant Amber Rickey Southern State Community College Abstract It has been proven that smoking significantly increases the risk of numerous pregnancy complications, some of which can be fatal for the mother or baby (Carlson, 2011). If your health isn't enough to make you quit smoking, then the health of your baby should be (Pagano, 2014). Smoking during pregnancy affects you and your baby's health before, during, and after your baby is born (Pagano, 2014).

Well some medications either work or they don’t, they either make you feel like you will get better or they make you feel worse. Most defiantly you don’t want to depend on them either because then you grow an immunity to them and sooner or later you will be taking more and more in order to get your buzz off of them.
