Supersize Me Blonde
So here comes summer, and with that comes over done blonde hair. What is over done blonde hair you ask? Here, I'll tell you. It's when you say to your hair colorist that you want your already highlighted hair lighter. Now, this is how a lot of hair colorists interpret what you asked for.
I already have her hair highlighted as light as it can go with hair color. Hum, let's highlight with bleach.
Your eyes interpret the results as yes, yes, yes. However, here is what begins to happen. Instead of going every 8 weeks for your touchup, you are back in the  chair in 6 weeks. Again, you ask for your color to be lighter because your eyes loved the prior effect. Your colorist interprets that to mean you liked the bleach so let's add in more. This pattern repeats itself, and then wham! Your normal blonde highlight went from blonde > to light blonde > to all over bleached blonde. Oh, don't get me wrong a hair color highlight can go take this route too. This is because your highlights begin to multiply, and before you know it, you windup with a solid over accentuated blonde instead of a highlight.
See your enthusiasm carries a colorist away. Now this is not a bad thing, except when you go from being a highlighted blonde to being a bleach solid blonde. So how do you avoid this snare? Tell your hair colorist that you'd like to see a couple of feathering lighter pieces around your eyes just for the summer. This type of effect will appease your eyes, and save your blonde highlight from becoming a solid looking blonde.

Summer Hair Tip
After recently returning from Bali, I reflected on what I saw while sun lounging looking southward out into the Indian Ocean. What I noticed, was how not one young woman, on the paradise sands of Seminyak, worried about what Mother Nature was doing to her hair. I mean; I saw women who clearly invested good money for their hair color, but alas the sun was slowly nipping away at each and every color molecule one-by-one. Maybe it was due to all the alcohol being drunk, or perhaps it was intoxication due to a newfound local playmate.

Temporary Tattoos Could Scar
Dr. Katz, Director of FDA's Office of Cosmetics and Colors, stated that some temporary tattoos marketed as henna tattoos could hurt you. Why? It's because the henna is combined with phenylenediamine (PPD). PPD is used in hair coloring, and is a known allergen that can be life threatening. This is why someone who wants to get his or her hair colored has to have a sensitivity test. Adverse reactions associated with black henna include:
- Severe skin reddening
- Blistering
- Raw or burn like inflammations
The unfortunate part is that a reaction could live on once the black henna tattoo has disappeared; hence, leaving behind scars or cause someone to encounter unforeseen medical expenses. So be careful, ask questions and ask to read the product ingredients. Should you know someone who has had an allergic reaction to a henna tattoo contact the FDA by calling 800-FDA-1088 or through its website.
