A personal experience with SPLAT Hair dye

My natural hair color is a dark chocolate brown. Before I returned to my college I dyed my hair with Vidal Sassoon's' Burgundy color. After about a month it faded and I decided to take the plunge and tried SPLAT's "Pure Sapphire" semi-terminate hair dye. Following this is my experience with the hair dye and pictures of the process. Below: is a picture of my hair before I dyed it

I thank my roomie for helping with this process because I couldn't I have done it without her. The first step was to bleach my hair so the color would show up. This step stays on for various times depending on how dark your hair color is. Since mine is almost black I left it on for an hour. After it's been on for an hour you are to rinse it out and let your hair dry before putting the hair dye on. Since my hair is shorter I only had to wait for about 15-20 minutes. Below: is a picture after I bleached my hair (sorry that its sideways)

Now for the next step: the first round of dying your hair the desired color. I say first because my hair is so thick and likes to be a pain to do anything with. After she applied the hair dye it again various on your hair but I left it on for about an hour and then rinsed it again. The only difference about this hair dye from the first one I used was that I had to rinse just the hair dye out first and then I could shampoo it. It yet again had to dry for about 15-20 minutes and I realized the part of my hair didn't even take. Below: is a picture of the first dye

Repeat.... Once again.... So I repeated the previous step yet again. I let it dry after washing it once again and to my surprise it all stayed my only concern was that it look more on the green side rather than blue... great. Below: is a picture of the second dye

So I let it dry and then eventually went to bed. The next morning it looked okay but I was still slightly pissed it didn't look like the box. Below is a picture of the morning after I dyed my hair.

The cons of this hair dye are that a lot of it rinsed out when I rinsed it both times. It also turned my scalp blue and I had to use a shampoo and baking soda mixture on it for about an hour and then scrubbed it off.

If you are looking for a bright, fun, off the wall hair color splat is the hair color for you.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
