hair dye how's and why's

Many of us regularly color our hair, but how much do we really know about the chemicals and the processes involved? This site will answer any question you have about the technical aspects of dyeing. "Tips to Give Your Colorist" explains the meaning of "oxidizing agent" and "bleaching boosters," among other coloring terminology. The Color Wheel demonstrates exactly how natural and artificial tones blend to create the final hair shade. (So that's why my stylist puts that purple goop on my head to turn me into a blonde!) There's also an extensive guide to help correct specific trichological woes (such as too much gray or chlorine-stained strands). Whether you turn to a pro or are a do-it-yourselfer, this is good information to know.
