Academic literature on the topic 'HAIR COLORING'

This study attempted to investigate people’s perception of hair coloring and its services. For this, a questionnaire survey was performed against a total of 303 consumers in Busan and Gyeongsangnam-do. The collected data were analyzed by frequency analysis, cross-tabulation analysis, χ² test and factor analysis, using SPSS 23.0. In addition, independent samples t-test and one-way ANOVA were conducted, using AMOS 23.0, and the results found the followings: There were differences in perception of hair coloring services by gender and age. In terms of perception of hair coloring services, ‘service satisfaction’ and ‘perception of the service’ were derived. Concerning perception of hair coloring services by demographic characteristics, differences were observed by gender and age. In terms of perception of hair coloring services by gender, ‘women’ were higher than ‘men’. Specifically, ‘20s or younger’ was higher than ‘40s and 50s or older’. It is anticipated that the study results would be helpful in developing segmented marketing strategies through customer analysis by gender and age and make a contribution to the improvement of hair coloring services and increase in sales.

Plant-based hair coloring is a natural hair coloring method, which allows to obtain a variety of colors and additionally nourishes the scalp and hair. The aim of the study was to present the knowledge on the available dyeing methods using plant materials and to investigate the color potential of particular herbs. Lawsonia inermis, Hibiscus sabdariffa, Rheum officinale, Sambucus nigra, and Chamomilla recutita were selected to the research. A video dermatoscope was used to demonstrate the influence of the coloring process on the structure, appearance of the cortex, areola, and the core of the hair. The natural method of dyeing hair is characterized by a lower allergenic potential as compared to the synthetic method. However, taking into account the color limitations of the selected plant materials, obtaining the effect of full coverage of the hair with color, is not always possible. It was shown that the selection of additives with an appropriate pH value allows to obtain favorable results.

Background: Hair coloring, or hair coloring, is the follow of fixing the hair color. The most reasons for this area unit cosmetic: to hide gray or white hair, to alter to a color thought to be additional modern or fascinating, or to revive the initial hair color once, it's been stained by hairdressing process or sun bleaching. Hair coloring is often done professionally by a stylist or severally reception. Celtic folks colored their hair blonde; they bleach it by laundry them in lime and brushing it back from their foreheads. The coloring of hair is associate ancient art that involves treatment of the hair with varied chemical compounds. In history, the dyes were obtained from plants. The event of artificial dyes for hair is derived from the legendary discovery of the reactivity of para-phenylenediamine (PPD) with air. Results: Hair dyes are cosmetic compounds that make contact with the skin throughout application. As a result of this skin contact, there exists some health risk related to use of hair dyes. People allergic to protein as an example, can have to be compelled to take care once buying hair color since bound dye includes protein. Protein doesn't have to be compelled to be eaten for it to cause associate hypersensitivity reaction. Skin contact with protein might cause a reaction; thus, resulting in associate hypersensitivity reaction. Symptoms of those reactions will embody redness, sores, itching, burning sensation, and discomfort. Symptoms can typically not be apparent instantly following the appliance and process of the tint, however may arise once hours or maybe daily later. Conclusion: Pigments of the hair got colored by the tactic of removing, replacing, or covering up. Employment of those chemicals may cause varied adverse effects, at the facet of temporary skin irritation and hypersensitivity, hair breakage, skin discoloration, and explosive hair color results. The ultimate color of every strand of hair can depend upon its original color and body. As a result of hair's color and body across the pinnacle and on the length of a hair strand, there'll be delicate variations in shade across the complete head. This provides an additional natural-looking result than the solid, everywhere color of a permanent color. Thus, hair dyes area unit regulated within the industrial marketplace and, as new toxicity knowledge is generated for a few hair dye, and health risks area unit discovered, in a controlled people, employment of hair coloring may end up in aversions and/or skin irritation.

Hair coloring is the act of changing the hair color, which has been known since the times of Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient China, and India. At that time, the colors used that came from plants were called vegetable dyes or traditional dyes, where the coloring was done to change the original hair color or to cover gray hair and follow the existing trends. Natural dyes are not only used as medicine but can also be used as cosmetic dyes. One of the natural ingredients that can be used to make hair dye preparations is the skin of red dragon fruit (Hylocereus Polyrhizus). In general, dragon fruit skin is rarely used properly, even thrown away when finished) It's just that many people don't know how to use it, thus increasing the amount of waste from dragon fruit skin.

AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF CHRISTIAN H. GILLESPIE, for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in PSYCHOLOGY, presented on April 08, 2013, at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. TITLE: DOWN TO THE ROOTS: A QUALITATIVE ANAYSIS OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACTS OF MESSAGES BLACK WOMEN RECIEVE REGARDING THEIR HAIR MAJOR PROFESSOR: Kathleen Chwalisz, Ph.D. Typical Black features such as thick lips, dark skin, and kinky hair have historically been the subject of scrutiny, exploitation, and devaluation in America. Hair is an important aspect of the discourse about the pressure on all women to accommodate to mainstream beauty ideals. However, there are unique pressures that complicate this narrative for Black women, who have to combat both the pressures of racism and sexism. Many African American women have a naturally kinky hair texture that is distinctly different from their Euro-American counterparts, serving as a widely recognized racial identifier (Chapman, 2007). Although there is a growing body of anthologies, essays, documentaries and case studies exploring Black women's unique experiences regarding their hair, there is a dearth of empirical literature, particularly in the field of psychology, exploring the nuances of Black women's hair experiences and subsequent impacts of negative kinky-hair messages on their hair choices, esteem, personal and emotional functioning. Therefore, a Grounded Theory approach using semi-structured individual interviews was used in this qualitative investigation, designed to answer the following research questions: 1. What messages have Black women received about their naturally kinky hair? 2. What emotions or reactions are elicited for Black women regarding their hair? 3. How do Black women respond to and cope with the messages they've received and experiences they've had regarding their natural hair? Nine self-identified African American/Black women were interviewed for this study. During the interview process, participants described the various hair-related experiences they've had in diverse contexts, their emotional responses and reaction to their experiences, and subsequent means of responding and coping with the emotions elicited. A grounded theory approach was used to analyze the data. The grounded theory model that emerged from this study can be characterized as Defining and Being Defined: Black Women's Identity in a Colorist Society. This storyline is reflective of participants' strive toward self-definition (Caldwell, 2000; Tate, 2007), and simultaneous negotiation of the abuse they experienced and anti-Black aesthetic messages they were exposed to regarding their hair. Defining specifically refers to participants strive toward self-definition (i.e., development of a positive image and self concept), and Being Defined refers to their efforts to manage how others in society perceived them (e.g., their attractiveness, competence, femininity etc.) in relation to their hair. The participants' narratives reflected the marginalization, trauma, abuse, and rejection they experienced in relation to their hair and in their personal lives. The Black women also expressed an unyielding sense of optimism, resilience and hope regarding their future experiences.

The painting color is one of the ways to depict emotions of objects and to record time, space, ideas, philosophy while employing theories of colors. Painters transform the colors in the nature into painting colors through observing diffuse colors of objects and the subtle changes of colors under different spaces, complex lights and environments. Paintings focus on the connotation of spiritual pursuit and make it richer with symbolic significance through representation in forms. This research attempts to apply art of painting colors to hair coloring design and starts from exploring Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky’s works and theories and Piet Cornelies Mondrian’s features, elements and connotations in works while discussing the basis of converting painting colors to elements of hair coloring design. Inductive analyses lead and help readers reflect on applying painting colors into experiments of hair coloring design. This research also attempts to establish a pattern of applying art to design. Accordingly, this research is divided into four stages of applying art to design: "cultural extraction," "symbolic transformation," "process of transformation" and "creative design." The first stage, " cultural extraction," is to analysis researches on Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky and Piet Cornelies Mondrian and to find out the ways of the two masters’ transferring objects to abstract. The second stage, “symbolic transformation,” is to apply concept of signifier and signified in semiotics to analyze how designers transform fine arts into creative products and to find out the pattern to it. In this stage, hair coloring design is also analyzed. The third stage, "process of transformation," is to analyze related researches on which transforming abstract paintings to product design is discussed. Also, to know the process of creation, the relationship between abstract painting and works with elements of abstract painting is analyzed.As an act of embodying, the fourth stage, “creative design," is to design and to dye hair with knowledge acknowledged from stage one to three. These four stages as a pattern of applying art of painting colors to hair coloring design is established to offer readers a way to create and experience life and further to offer designers a pattern to extract, to refine or to inspire ideas of designing. Keywords: colors, painting, colors, Kandinsky, Mondrian, hair coloring design

The aim of this research is to evaluate how the weak-acid Henna accelerant works with hair coloring by using three different chemical enhancers (Eucalyptus、Oleic Acid、Propylene Glycol) to add the solubility of dyes、destroy or change the cuticle of hair. The experiments focus on the diverseness of colorfastness、appearance after washing、evaporation of moisture and the cuticle after dying with different chemical enhancers、consistency and skills. Besides, we evaluate the preserving stability and security of the dyes with different chemical enhancers and consistency. Result of experiments: Firstly, the five percent Eucalyptus formula (Eu-05-40) has the best effect of colorfastness and appearance after washing. Its ΔE value is 20.83 NBS at first and becomes 10.50 NBS after eight times’ washing. And the same formula (Eu-05-20) has very close effect but only take twenty minutes coloring. Its ΔE value is 18.86 NBS at first and becomes 9.03NBS after eight times’ washing. Secondly, every accelerant decreased the evaporation of hair moisture, even after eight times’ washing. It shows Henna dyes can raise the moisture and maintain the effect after washing. Especially, the Eu-05-40 lost least moisture(4.09％ in 10mins) also proved group Eu-05 in Henna dyes is not only a accelerant but also a moisturizing conditioner. Thirdly, all Henna dyes raise the number in the tensile strength test apparently even though the effect decreases with repeated washing. However, it still infers the natural Henna dyes can strengthen the ductility of hair and help hair more anti-breaking. Fourthly, the cuticle of hair is less damaged when comparing with the control group. It means The Henna accelerants can decrease the harm of the hair cuticle. Take five percent Eucalyptus formula (Eu-05-40) for example, the hair color gradually turns from deep brown to biscuit with repeated washing and the cuticle open progressively as well. Fifthly in storage, all three chemical enhancers –the five percent Eucalyptus、Oleic Acid、and Propylene glycol ( Eu-05、OA-05、PG-05) have no changes of the outside、hue or pH(Potential Hydrogen) testing. For example, groups OA-05 almost have no difference at pH testing in storage for twenty-eight days. ( pH=5.10 ±0.01) On the other hand, the control group (No-00) has precipitation and acidification in storage at room temperature for twenty-eight days and forty degrees for fourteen days. (pH=5.35 --> pH= 5.11) Furthermore, the best preserved groups Eu-05 still have 91.36％ dying uptake in storage at RT for twenty-eight days. Finally, we use skin tape to test skin for twenty-four hours and have no any allergic phenomenon. It shows there is no security concern of Henna accelerants with hair dying or skin contact.

Tese de Doutoramento em Bioengenharia
O cabelo é um elemento importante na aparência das pessoas, sendo uma das características físicas que podemos controlar e alterar facilmente. No entanto, os procedimentos cosméticos em conjugação com as rotinas diárias e insultos ambientais podem danificar e enfraquecer irreversivelmente as fibras. A indústria cosmética utiliza diferentes formulações contendo proteínas, hidrolisados de proteínas, péptidos ou aminoácidos, com benefícios comprovados para o cabelo. Estes produtos, apesar de serem utilizados para alterar e/ou melhorar a forma, cor, volume, brilho e tato do cabelo, são limitados a uma única função. O desenvolvimento de formulações multifuncionais é então visto como uma etapa promissora para o desenho de produtos cosméticos avançados. As novas formulações vão transmitir mais que uma propriedade ao cabelo e vão responder às necessidades do mercado e dos consumidores. O objetivo principal desta tese foi o desenvolvimento de formulações multifuncionais à base de proteínas, capazes de alterar e/ou melhorar as propriedades do cabelo enquanto eliminam ou minimizam os potenciais danos causados às fibras. Neste trabalho, uma proteína de fusão baseada na sequência de um péptido derivado da queratina (KP) e numa proteína cromogénica ultramarina (UM), foi explorada com sucesso como agente para colorir cabelo. A proteína KP-UM mostrouse capaz de colorir cabelo descolorado, entre rosa e roxo dependendo da formulação base, enquanto melhorou as suas propriedades mecânicas, demonstrando assim o seu potencial para ser incorporada em novas formulações cosméticas sustentáveis O uso de proteínas para a proteção do cabelo contra procedimentos com altas temperaturas foi investigado através de proteínas baseadas na sequência da γD-cristalina (sequência original e mutante) e o péptido KP. Os cabelos tratados com as proteínas e depois sujeitos a temperaturas elevadas (200ºC), apresentaram resultados melhorados relativamente à perda de água e à conversão das estruturas da queratina de α-hélice para folhas-β, confirmando o carater protetor das proteínas. Partículas à base de proteínas foram também desenvolvidas para melhorar diferentes propriedades do cabelo. Partículas com queratina e fibroína de seda e Poloxamer 407 na sua constituição foram testadas em cabelo asiático virgem e descolorado, com um efeito positivo na proteção, recuperação de propriedades mecânicas, estabilidade térmica e na suavidade do cabelo. Partículas à base de queratina e zeína foram desenvolvidas para encapsular fragrâncias e serem utilizadas como perfume para o cabelo. As formulações libertaram a fragrância ao longo do tempo e melhoraram as propriedades mecânicas e o grau de hidratação do cabelo. Filmes preparados com queratina extraída de cabelo humano foram desenvolvidos no decorrer desta tese e o efeito de diferentes tratamentos térmicos (convencional e ohmico) nas propriedades dos filmes de queratina foi avaliado por diferentes técnicas. Os filmes apresentam diferenças de acordo com a origem da queratina, pH da solução de queratina e tratamento térmico. A aplicação das proteínas KP-Cryst sobre os filmes de queratina demonstrou a capacidade destes para serem usados como modelo de cabelo nas avaliações de novos produtos cosméticos. As novas formulações aqui desenvolvidas mostram um grande potencial para serem incluídas em novos produtos cosméticos para cabelo com grande impacto socioeconómico.
Hair is an important element of humans’ physical appearance, being one of the personal features that we can have direct control and easily change. However, cosmetic procedures, daily hair care routines and environmental insults can irreversibly damage and weaken the hair fibers. Hair cosmetic industry has developed several formulations containing proteins, proteins hydrolysates, peptides and amino acids, with proved benefits to the hair. These products despite being used to change and/or improve the hair shape, color, volume, gloss, shine and feel, are limited to one function. The development of new multifunctional formulations is thus seen as very promising for the design of advanced hair cosmetic products. The new formulations will impart more than one feature to the hair and will respond to the market and consumer’s needs. The main objective of this thesis was the development of advanced multifunctional protein-based formulations capable to change and/or improve several hair’s properties while avoiding or minimizing the damages potentially caused to the fiber. In this work, a fusion protein based on the sequences of a keratin-based peptide (KP) and an ultramarine chromogenic protein (UM), was successfully explored as a hair coloring agent. The KP-UM protein was able to color overbleached hair, from pink to purple depending on the base formulation, while recovering its mechanical properties, demonstrating its potential to be incorporated in new ecofriendly cosmetic formulations. The use of proteins for hair protection against high temperature procedures was investigated using fusion proteins based on the sequence of the human eye γD-crystallin (wild-type and mutant) and the KP peptide. Hair treated with the KPCryst Wt and KP-Cryst Mut proteins and then subjected to iron application (200ºC), presented an improved performance regarding water loss and conversion of keratin α-helix structure into β-sheets, confirming the protective character of the tested proteins. Protein-based particles were also developed to improve different hair properties. Particles with keratin, silk fibroin and poloxamer 407 in its constitution were tested on virgin and overbleached Asian hair, with a positive effect on the protection, recovery of hair mechanical properties, thermal stability and hair smoothness. Keratin and zein based particles were developed to encapsulate fragrances to be used as hair perfumes. These formulations released the fragrances over time and improved the hair’s mechanical properties and hair’s hydration degree. Films prepared with keratin extracted from human hair were also developed during this thesis and the effect of different heating treatments (conventional and ohmic) on the keratin films’ properties was evaluated by different techniques. The films presented different properties according the keratin source, keratin solution pH and heating treatment. The application of KP-Cryst proteins over the keratin films demonstrated their capacity to be used as a substitute to the hair when evaluating new cosmetic products. The new formulations here developed show great potential to be included in new hair cosmetic products with a high socio-economic impact.

In 2011, the Taiwan elderly population has reached 10.8%, which was showing the aging time has come. In order to maintain a youthful appearance, "hair-dyeing" has become the necessities of life for mature population. Many studies have confirmed the synthesis of artificial coloring hazardous to human health. 2016 BMC Cancer latest research paper pointed out: compared to the hair-not-dyed people, the hair-dyed ones suffering from prostate cancer has the ratio of 1.15 times higher than the normal people. That indicates that the use of hair dye will increase the risk of prostate cancer. For this reason, today's hair preparations or cosmetic products should be made toward safe, healthy direction. Phytochemicals (phytochemicals) exists only in plants, where polyphenols have been proved to have antioxidant activity, prevention of chronic diseases and health promotion. Taiwan is located in the subtropical zone where the plants are rich in resources and the people use herbal treatment for a long time. This study focused on traditional natural pigment of plants as the basis for selecting or tonic with antioxidant effects of Chinese herbal medicine materials, extraction and refining and correlation analysis. Collecting 50 kinds of herbal and extracting them with water and alcohol have a total of 100 kinds of extracts, following the analysis of the extracts were: (I) chloride, iron color reaction analysis, the results showed positive reactions were a total of 11 kinds of extracts were found to contain more phenolic factors. (II) Do the following chemical analysis and activity measurement: (i) Chemical analysis (1) contains the alkaloid as CY-008 and 028; (2) contain flavonoids as CY-034, 035, and 045; (3) contain anthraquinones as CY-012, 028, and 046; (4) containing triterpenoids as CY -039; containing steroid component CY-045. (ii) determination of tryptic activity by removing two kind of the alkaloid extract containing a total of nine kinds of drugs then extracts (1) antioxidant capacity is measured DPPH radical application of the clear results nine kinds of Chinese herbal extract (1mg / 100ul) of the radical scavenging rate between 83% to 6%, in order, is CY-045 > 035 > 034 > 012 > 046 > 013 > 022 > 026 > 039; (2) Folin-Ciocalteu (FC) analysis of the reaction to Gallic acid as a standard, total phenol content of Gallic acid equivalent amount of 9.064 ~ between 0.569 ug / m. Experimental results, the analysis of the data, and the 5 designs of people favorite colors--black and brown, by testing on the wool hair to determine the effects: (1) expose to sunlight, showed that hair piece dyed consolidated above the good color stability. (2) The same clinical hair dyeing procedure showed that five kinds of formulations were deepened with the increasing number of hair coloring, that indicates these five new recipes has the potential development for new hair dyeing product, also has the effect of anti-oxygen and improve health. This study further designed and developed a new natural hair dye so that people both dye their hair and promote the effectiveness of health at the same time to the pursuit of aesthetics of life and health of the target.

abstract: ABSTRACT Colorism is the intra-racial system of inequality based on skin color, hair texture, and facial features. In the African American culture, colorism has deeply rooted origins that continue to affect the lives of African Americans today. This study examined how colorism effects perceptions of personal characteristics, personal attributes, work ability, and hiring decisions of African American women 18 and older. Participants for this study consisted of 188 African American women who self-identified as African American/Black and who were over 18 years of age living in the United States. All participants completed a demographic sheet and three instruments: Occupational Work Ethic Inventory (OWEI; Petty, 1995), Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ; Spence, Helmreich, & Stapp, 1974) and Personal Efficacy Beliefs Scale (PEBS; Riggs et al., 1994). They were randomly assigned to one of six vignettes describing a young African American/Black woman applying for a job. She was described as having one of three skin-tones (light, brown, or dark) and having kinky or straight hair. A multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA) failed to reveal differences in personal characteristics, personal attributes, and work ability due to skin tone or to hair texture. Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that hair texture predicted hiring decision, after controlling for relevant demographic variables. Participant education and vignette hair texture influenced hiring decisions, accounting for 8.2% of the variance. The woman in the vignette with straight hair was more likely to be recommended for hire and more educated participants were more likely to recommend hiring. These findings suggest that education may be an important factor in changing the influence of colorism in African American culture and that hair texture may be a factor of colorism that influences hiring of applicants.
