It grows in hot, dry cli- mates such as the Middle East and India. The leaves of this shrub are harvested, dried, and powdered. This powder has been used for thousands of years to dye hair, skin (for body art), leather and fabrics. Pure henna powder gives a reddish orange colour. Figure 1: Fresh Henna Leaves - Lawsonia Inermis Other things that are mistakenly called henna This book is about pure henna from the lawsonia inermis plant. It is important to distinguish this from products that call themselves ‘henna’, but which actually contain other ingredients mixed in with the henna. We are talking about using pure henna (which can be used either on its own, or mixed into your own reci- pes) rather than ready-mixed, branded hair dyes.

  • Running Head: ANESTHESIA REQUIREMENTS for REDHEADS 1 Anesthesia Requirements for Redheads Nathan Classon, RN, BSN, SRNA Adventis
    Running head: ANESTHESIA REQUIREMENTS FOR REDHEADS 1 Anesthesia Requirements for Redheads Nathan Classon, RN, BSN, SRNA Adventist University of Health Sciences Project Mentor: Tom Andrews, MD, JLR Anesthesia Group Committee Chair: Alescia DeVasher Bethea, PhD, CRNA Nurse Anesthesia Program, Adventist University of Health Sciences March 16, 2016 ANESTHESIA REQUIREMENTS FOR REDHEADS 2 Abstract As the melanocortin-1 receptor gene was not discovered until 1995, only anecdotal observation supported that redheads had an increased anesthetic requirement. Utilizing relatively recent research, this project aimed to enhance the knowledge regarding the anesthetic requirements for redheads among student registered nurse anesthetists (SRNAs). Interestingly, there was a decided perspectival shift in the opinion of literature reviewed between 2004 and 2015. Earlier studies were supportive of an increased anesthetic requirement of redheads, while more recent studies discouraged such an approach. It is possible that the later studies relied on self-reported hair phenotype, rather than analysis of genetic makeup of the MC1R genotype. Given this, it is plausible that there is a significant difference in the anesthetic requirements of redheads, depending on whether they are homozygous, heterozygous, or compound heterozygous. Therefore, current literature was reviewed, synthesized, and presented simultaneously to two cohorts of SRNAs at Adventist University (ADU). The project’s efficacy was determined by comparing the scores of an identical pre- and post-test.

  • Effects of Aging on Hair Color, Melanosome Morphology
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Article Effects of Aging on Hair Color, Melanosome Morphology, and Melanin Composition in Japanese Females Takashi Itou 1,* , Shosuke Ito 2 and Kazumasa Wakamatsu 2 1 Kao Corporation, R&D - Hair Care Products Research, Tokyo 131-8501, Japan 2 Department of Chemistry, Fujita Health University School of Medical Sciences, Toyoake, Aichi 470-1192, Japan * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +81-3-5630-9972 Received: 26 June 2019; Accepted: 27 July 2019; Published: 31 July 2019 Abstract: In a previous study, we showed that the size of melanosomes isolated from Japanese female hairs enlarges with age, and this affects the hair color. In this study, we analyzed the age-dependent changes in hair melanin in order to further explore the factors related to hair color changing by aging. A significant positive correlation with age was found in the total melanin amount (TM) and the mol% of 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) units, while no correlation was found in pheomelanin mol%. TM showed significant correlations with hair color parameters and the melanosome volume, suggesting that hair color darkening by aging is caused by the increase in TM due to the enlargement of the size of melanosome. From the measurement of absorbance spectra on synthetic eumelanins with different ratios of DHI and 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA), we found that the increase in DHI mol% also contributes to the darkening of hair color by aging. In addition, the level of pyrrole-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (PDCA), a marker of DHI melanin, showed a significant negative correlation with the aspect ratio of melanosome, suggesting a contribution of DHI melanin to the change in melanosome morphology by aging.

  • Hair Color Stereotypes and Their Associated Perceptions in Relationships and the Workplace Michelle Beddow University of Michigan–Dearborn
    Hair Color Stereotypes and Their Associated Perceptions in Relationships and the Workplace Michelle Beddow University of Michigan–Dearborn ABSTRACT. Previous research has shown that people associate positive and negative personality traits with certain hair colors. Participants view blondes as attractive but dumb, brunettes as studious and competent, and redheads as smart but temperamental. The present study examined the effects of stereotypes with respect to hair color, setting, and gender. Participants rated a male or female model on several personal characteristics (e.g., attractiveness, intelligence) based on a description and photo of the model. The model was depicted in both a work setting and a dating setting and was shown in the photo with 1 of 3 hair colors: blonde, brown, or red. Results indicated that hair color stereotypes are not only linked to various personal traits, but are affected by the setting as well. When placed in a setting with certain stereotypes, the stereotypes associated with that hair color are augmented. t is the nature of human beings to categorize degree of flexibility in order to accommodate any everyday life.

What is henna? Figure 1: Henna: lawsonia inermis Henna is a plant, lawsonia inermis. Henna leaves have been used as a hair dye for thousands of years in North Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, the Levant, and South Asia. Henna leaves have red-orange dye molecule, lawsone, which penetrates skin and hair and bonds to the keratin. Henna dye blocks UV so your hair doesn’t become sun damaged, strengthens your hair so it won’t get split ends, makes your hair glossy and shiny, eliminates dandruff and ringworm, and kills head lice and nits. Allergic reaction to henna is extremely rare. Figure 2: Body art quality henna powder is the finest quality pure henna for body art What is body art quality henna? Body art quality henna is the henna produced for bridal henna work. This henna is the top 2% of the henna crop: it has the high lawsone levels of 3% or more, and is finely ground and sifted so henna artists can make delicate patterns and dark henna stains on bride’s hands. Body art quality henna is outstanding for hair because is easy to rinse out, and dyes hair robust, permanent color. Body art quality henna has no additional dyes, no metallic salts, and no para-phenylenediamine. Body art quality henna is absolutely safe to put over synthetic dye, and you can bleach or dye over body art quality henna without damaging the hair.

  • Genome-Wide Study of Hair Colour in UK Biobank Explains Most of the SNP Heritability
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-07691-z OPEN Genome-wide study of hair colour in UK Biobank explains most of the SNP heritability Michael D. Morgan1,5, Erola Pairo-Castineira2, Konrad Rawlik 3, Oriol Canela-Xandri2,3, Jonathan Rees4, David Sims1, Albert Tenesa 2,3 & Ian J. Jackson2,3 Natural hair colour within European populations is a complex genetic trait. Previous work has established that MC1R variants are the principal genetic cause of red hair colour, but with 1234567890():,; variable penetrance. Here, we have extensively mapped the genes responsible for hair colour in the white, British ancestry, participants in UK Biobank. MC1R only explains 73% of the SNP heritability for red hair in UK Biobank, and in fact most individuals with two MC1R variants have blonde or light brown hair. We identify other genes contributing to red hair, the combined effect of which accounts for ~90% of the SNP heritability. Blonde hair is associated with over 200 genetic variants and we find a continuum from black through dark and light brown to blonde and account for 73% of the SNP heritability of blonde hair. Many of the associated genes are involved in hair growth or texture, emphasising the cellular connections between keratinocytes and melanocytes in the determination of hair colour. 1 MRC WIMM Centre for Computational Biology, MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, University of Oxford, John Radcliffe Hospital, Headington, Oxford OX3 9DS, UK. 2 MRC Human Genetics Unit, Institute of Genetics and Molecular Medicine, University of Edinburgh, Crewe Road, Edinburgh EH4 2XU, UK. 3 Roslin Institute, University of Edinburgh, Easter Bush, Midlothian EH25 9RG, UK.

  • MC1R Gene Melanocortin 1 Receptor
    MC1R gene melanocortin 1 receptor Normal Function The MC1R gene provides instructions for making a protein called the melanocortin 1 receptor. This receptor plays an important role in normal pigmentation. The receptor is primarily located on the surface of melanocytes, which are specialized cells that produce a pigment called melanin. Melanin is the substance that gives skin, hair, and eyes their color. Melanin is also found in the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye ( the retina), where it plays a role in normal vision. Melanocytes make two forms of melanin, eumelanin and pheomelanin. The relative amounts of these two pigments help determine the color of a person's hair and skin. People who produce mostly eumelanin tend to have brown or black hair and dark skin that tans easily. Eumelanin also protects skin from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation in sunlight. People who produce mostly pheomelanin tend to have red or blond hair, freckles, and light-colored skin that tans poorly. Because pheomelanin does not protect skin from UV radiation, people with more pheomelanin have an increased risk of skin damage caused by sun exposure. The melanocortin 1 receptor controls which type of melanin is produced by melanocytes. When the receptor is activated, it triggers a series of chemical reactions inside melanocytes that stimulate these cells to make eumelanin. If the receptor is not activated or is blocked, melanocytes make pheomelanin instead of eumelanin. Common variations (polymorphisms) in the MC1R gene are associated with normal differences in skin and hair color. Certain genetic variations are most common in people with red hair, fair skin, freckles, and an increased sensitivity to sun exposure.
