Blue Hair
Blue hair does not naturally occur in human hair pigmentation, although the hair of some animals (such as dog coats) is described as blue. Some people (typically of East Asian descent) are born with black hair that is so dark that it appears to have a metallic blue luster. In Japan, the beauty ideal for a woman is to have glossy "blue-black" hair, and Western foreign observers have also held this quality in high regard. "Japanese woman's hair is invariably glossy black, with a beautiful blue - black metallic lustre about it, and as it is kept soft with much washing and ointments, it makes up well." Fashion The 18th-century English politician Charles Fox was a fashionable macaroni in his youth and tinted his hair with blue powder. In 1913–1914, just before World War I, there was a vogue for dyed brightly-colored hair in different shades such as blue, violet or emerald.

Punk Fashion
Punk fashion is the clothing, hairstyles, cosmetics, jewellery, and body modifications of the punk counterculture.

The distinct social dress of other subcultures and art movements, including glam rock, skinheads, Greaser (subculture), greasers, and Mod (subculture), mods have influenced punk fashion. Punk fashion has likewise influenced the styles of these groups, as well as those of popular culture. Many punks use clothing as a way of making a statement. The early, pre-fame work of designer Vivienne Westwood helped pioneer the look of early British punk with her scene-establishing clothing shops Sex (boutique), Sex and Sex (boutique)#Seditionaries, Seditionaries in the mid-1970s, co-run with Malcolm McLaren who managed the Sex Pistols.

Generation Z
Generation Z (often shortened to Gen Z), also known as zoomers, is the demographic cohort succeeding Millennials and preceding Generation Alpha. Researchers and popular media use the mid-to-late 1990s as starting birth years and the early 2010s as ending birth years with the generation loosely being defined as people born around 1997 to 2012. Most members of Generation Z are the children of Generation X. As the first social generation to have grown up with access to the Internet and portable digital technology from a young age, members of Generation Z have been dubbed " digital natives" even if they are not necessarily digitally literate and may struggle in a digital workplace. Moreover, the negative effects of screen time are most pronounced in adolescents, as compared to younger children. Sexting became popular during Gen Z's adolescent years, although the long-term psychological effects are not yet fully understood. Generation Z has been described as "better behaved an ...

Abortion
Abortion is the early termination of a pregnancy by removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus. Abortions that occur without intervention are known as miscarriages or "spontaneous abortions", and occur in roughly 30–40% of all pregnancies.

Other reasons include maternal health, an inability to afford a child, domestic violence, lack of support, feelings of being too young, wishing to complete an education or advance a career, or not being able or willing to raise a child conceived as a result of rape or incest.

Feminism
Feminism is a range of socio-political movements and ideology, ideologies that aim to define and establish the political, economic, personal, and social gender equality, equality of the sexes.

Efforts to change this include fighting against gender stereotypes and improving educational, professional, and interpersonal opportunities and outcomes for women.

Lignosulfonates
Lignosulfonates (LS) are water-soluble anionic polyelectrolyte polymers: they are byproducts from the production of wood pulp using sulfite pulping. Most delignification in sulfite pulping involves acidic cleavage of ether bonds, which connect many of the constituents of lignin. Sulfonated lignin (SL) refers to other forms of lignin by-product, such as those derived from the much more popular Kraft process, that have been processed to add sulfonic acid groups. The two have similar uses and are commonly confused with each other, with SL being much cheaper. LS and SL both appear as free-flowing powders; the former is light brown while the latter is dark brown. Lignosulfonates have very broad ranges of molecular mass (they are very polydisperse). A range of from 1,000 to 140,000 Da has been reported for softwood lignosulfonates with lower values reported for hardwoods. Sulfonated Kraft lignin tends to have smaller molecules at 2,000–3,000 Da. SL and LS are non-toxic, non-corrosi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
