Some of you might have guessed by my posts that I am something of a chemistry geek (I do PR for a living but everyone`s got to do something a 2 a.m. when they`re bored.) So I tried something last night. I trim my own medium brown hair--believe it or not with good results--and last night I took off about an inch, no problems or anything. I had all these hair snippets lying on the bathroom counter and as I was sweeping them up, I thought I`d experiment on them.

I took a handful of the cut-off hair, put it in a Dixie Cup and submerged it in some bleach. I know of some people that actually bleach their hair (I HOPE not using cleaning bleach) and I wanted to see what color it would turn the hair. Well I came back in 10 minutes, expecting to see some blond hair floating in the bleach..................but it WAS GONE!!! The bleach completely dissolved the hair! You would never know I had put hair in the cup. There was just a pale liquid left.

I think most people on this board and in the world are smart enough not to bleach their hair (while it`s on their head) but just in case someone gets creative.......please don`t EVER do it! :-)

Have a great weekend.

LoL! That`s freaky! If you ever spill bleach on your hair, rush to the nearest place with water, and rinse it out immediatally!!:D
