Bleaching has become an undeniably popular trend most especially among women. This is essentially a process to lighten the color of your hair. However, not most women, especially teenagers who go to salons and have their makeovers do know the effects of having their hair colored, or even worse, bleached. Hydrogen peroxide is often used in combination with ammonia and a toner to both lighten and change the pigmentation or shade of your hair. Back in 2015, the granny hair color became a very popular trend in which women dye their hair grey. However, having to achieve a blonde or a grey hair color, a stylist would require you to bleach your hair up to 7 times or more. Most of the time, a client will not know this kind of information until a stylist

hydrogen peroxide, (H2O2), a colourless liquid usually produced as aqueous solutions of various strengths, used principally for bleaching cotton and other textiles and wood pulp, in the manufacture of other chemicals, as a rocket propellant, and for cosmetic and medicinal purposes. Solutions containing more than about 8 percent hydrogen peroxide are corrosive to the skin. [3]
Some existing Literature on Natural Hair The existing literature on ethnic and racial studies among African-Americans has focused on issues pertaining to beauty and body politics especially on natural hair. Spellers and Moffitt assert that the body politics that one assumes, guides how one relates to a particular political ideology in a particular society. Black natural hair is considered as a way by which the true identity of African women can be understood (Jacobs-Huey). It is a symbol of power among black women; it influences how people are treated by others.
Since whitening agents produce free radicals, some people may question the carcinogenicity of those products. A literature review conducted by Munro et al in 2006 looked at more than 100 clinical studies. Results showed that there is no date to show that hydrogen peroxide poses a carcinogenic risk to human oral mucosa at the exposure levels associated with tooth whitening. Mice models did show that hydrogen peroxide at high levels is genotoxic and carcinogenic, but humans posses more catalase activity than animals. Also, hydrogen peroxide concentrations were found to be highest in the gingiva, but this is a site where oral cancer is rarely found.
Bleach can be used to remove color from another substance or clean the water that we, humans, drink everyday. Even though bleach is very helpful and commonly used in our environment, it is also very reactive and unstable if it is not used correctly. For my experiment, I will be making an electronic device that will function as a colorimeter. Using the colorimeter, I will measure the concentration of blue dye in sports drinks, and find the rate at which blue dye disappears when it is mixed with bleach in different concentrations of dyes. The research question of this project is: “How does the amount of bleach mixed into a blue dye solution, affect the total amount of time for different concentrations of blue dye to disappear?” Other people may have done this project before me, but none of them have been reported.
There have been musicals, documentaries, researches, panel discussions and even talk shows about hair, hair qualities and hairstyles, even Oprah Gail Winfrey chose hair for the magazine's September 2013 theme. According to Adlman (2013), Oprah Winfrey in a video interview said,
I’m sure you’ve all heard of bleaching. You bleach clothes to make them whiter, you bleach bathrooms and kitchens to disinfect them, but have you ever thought about how bleaching may occur in the ocean? There is an event that occurs in coral reef ecosystems called coral bleaching which is a result of prolonged exposure of coral to extreme temperatures in the ocean.
According to 10 Weird and Wacky Beauty Facts by Andrea Lavinthal, in ancient Greece, the most sought-after hair color was blond. Not many Greeks were naturally blond, so light hair was probably perceived as beautiful because it was so exotic. Women would lighten their hair using plant extracts or arsenic. They also washed their locks with a mixture of ashes, olive oil, and water. She also explained how “it was a shame that extension weren’t available during the Heian period when a Japanese woman’s beauty was judges by the length of her hair, since the ideal was considered almost two feet longer than her waist. We’re assuming that ponytails were a popular hairstyle back then.” There are many other crazy facts about beauty facts like Vaseline makes your eyelashes grow and can take off makeup, or if your finger nails are discolored from using dark polish, use a slice of lemon on them and they will regain their color (The beauty magazine, Roselyn Miller, pg. 67). Going into the field of Cosmetology helps you express yourself and it brings out your inner creativity. That is one of the many reason I love this line of work, because when I do hair it lets me express myself while creating a hairstyle of my own. The first time I started doing hair was when I was about 10 or 11, I was a natural! I want to be able to know my clients and exactly what will look right on my clients and read people, so I would know what they do like just by talking to them. I need to learn to separate family from business. I do know some things about this field I before this assignment that cosmetology is not just about doing hair, it’s also about learning about the Skin; Doing make up, eye lashes, etc. You also learn about nails; doing a...
...on. Treatments should be applied to the hair as a protector before the chemicals are added because they can apply serious damage to the healthy hair. If the hair isn’t treated properly with several chemicals being added such as relaxers or dye, the hair can easily become dry, brittle, and create many split ends throughout your hair even rising up to the roots. As I was doing my research paper I did experience some difficulties because I didn’t stick with one topic in the cosmetology field like hairstyling, coloring hair, nails, and even trimming of the hair so that caused me to even research harder, but it’s nothing wrong with challenging yourself at times.
Color is sensed when white light bounces off an object and is reflected into the eye. Objects appear different colors depending on what colors were absorbed and which were reflected. Color is "seen" by the rods and cones in the eye. Cones detect color and rods detect black, white, and shades of gray. People who cannot see colors properly are colorblind. There are many different kinds of colors and they are classified in many different ways (The World Book Encyclopedia p 818, 819).
“I’m black and I’m cursed! God cursed me with terrible hair!” I personally know that trying to manage African American hair can be very difficult because unlike Caucasians black people have a rougher grade of hair. No one really knows why God gave Caucasians fast growing soft hair and black people slow growing rough hair. As a African American female I can testify that my hair doesn’t grow fast and I am a proud “creamy crack “user so therefore the chemicals from relaxers I use makes my hair straight and bouncy. When my relaxer expires and I need to get another put in my hair, my hair gets stiff and the roots of my hair become harder to comb. Hair is one of every human’s main features, women care for their hair and desire to find hairstyles that they believe will be appealing on them and speak for the way they

Although blonde hair has traditionally been considered a Caucasian trait, in Australia, some black people are actually born with the golden locks that many American women attain via a bottle. The golden strands of hair framing the dark skin of the face is truly a wonderful sight: These locks are reminiscent of sunbeams falling from the sky.
Generally speaking, its associated side effects are manageable. Some common side effects people might experience with benzoyl peroxide include dryness and redness. Adding an oil-free moisturizer to your regimen can help keep these symptoms in check. As for the bleaching of fabrics, this one’s true—benzoyl peroxide can bleach your towels and clothing if you’re not careful. We’ve found that using white pillowcases and white towels is the best way to
