Wella Wall of Facts

Wella History Sheet and Mile Stones

Ammonia free is not damage free.

 This is the take away from the cool Wella meet that we just experienced at the Wella International Studio at the Select City Walk Mall in Saket, New Delhi.
Beautiful color that protects your hair and strengthens it at the same time is a dream for most women who want to color their hair.

The Class for Scientific Facts

The Practical area

 Just words cannot make it happen though.
One needs to know the product that one puts on one's hair thoroughly.
 Hair is considered to be the crowning glory.
Our precious hair  is just as sensitive and delicate as skin.
If one protects one's skin with sunscreen and a hundred other things then one does need to protect one's colored hair too with color protection shampoo.
It is just as prone to be ruined by the UV light as skin is.
So why should it be neglected?
Know your color before you apply it or allow the salon to use it on your hair.
There is a hype in the market for ammonia free hair color. But it does not tell the complete truth.
Hair color that does not have ammonia has MEA which is far worse than ammonia.
It stays in the hair longer and is more difficult to get out of the hair.
Ammonia smells while evaporating but is then gone out of the hair unlike MEA.
Wella is not ammonia free but it is MEA free and that says a lot chemically.

Conclusion: if you are looking for superior color that protects your hair, choose Wella.

Mayonnaise: Home made

When I first had a scrumptious creamy layered sandwich somewhere I could not understand how butter could be so creamy and taste so good.
A more educated in the outside food department person told me it was mayonnaise that gave the sandwich that taste.
I began my quest to get, find, buy, learn, make or steal the creamy wonderful spread to feel that taste again.
After many moons and many adventures and disasters I found the perfect recipe that I will now share with you selflessly.
After all good things are meant to be shared.


Rule of thumb and fingers.
Remember that you need SEVEN things.
Even after you forget or lose this recipe you will remember the number SEVEN and it will bring the recipe back to your mind.

Ingredients:
Eggs, oil , sugar, salt, pepper, yellow mustard, vinegar or lime juice. (Seven in all. Count, if you don't believe me.)

Eggs: 2
Oil: about 1 cup (olive, salad oil or any other nice clean smelling refined oil)
Sugar: two table spoons to start with and you can vary as per your preference
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh ground yellow mustard seeds 1 table spoon
Vinegar/lime juice about two table spoons. vary as per taste.

Method:
Break two eggs and put them in the blender jar (large one that you use to make cold coffee, milk shake etc.)

Add salt, sugar, salt, pepper and ground mustard powder.
Run the blender for 45 seconds or so. Check. It should look nice and all mixed up.
Add a little bit of oil through the vent in the blending jar, keep the blender on and keep adding more oil as it keeps getting absorbed by the mixture inside the jar.
you will be able to add about 3/4 of a cup when the mixture emulsifies and you see a smooth, light creamy product in the blender.
Add the vinegar/lime juice and give it another whirrr (blend for another 5-10 seconds).
Taste.
Adjust sugar, salt, vinegar as per your preference.
Remove into a clean glass bottle, keep in the fridge and use as required.

Keeps well for about three four days.

Note: Remember SEVEN things and count them on your fingers to ensure you have not missed out on anything.
