- I believe it, guys. I believe it. (Laughing) (bright electronic music) I change my hair color just as often as people change their clothes. For me, it's just really
about expressing myself.

- I never used to color my hair, until this year. I started playing around
with some different colors, and I think it's really fun. - So today, we are trying
heat-reactive hair color. - I hear it changes color with heat? I don't know how that works.

- I'm a little bit of a skeptic. I want it to work, so I can just be like a dope ass person, walking around with different hair every second. But, we'll see if that becomes a reality. - My name is Lissette Cruz.

The type of heat that you could use are Pravana's Vivids Mood Color, spans from just walking into the sun, from touching it, breathing on it, blow dryer, flat iron. I'm so excited to show the girls, they are gonna be blown away. So this is one of our colors, and this is Tropical Peach, that turns into Transparent, which exposes the blonde piece underneath. This one in particular is Lime Green to Sunny Yellow.

You ready? - I think? (Bright electronic music) - (laughs) Oh my god! - What?! That was just with your mouth! (Breathes) - How does it do that?
(Laughing) (gasps) - Yo, this can get weird. - When it cools down, it goes right back to its peachy color. - Oh, and then it just changes. Ahh, this is dope! (Playful orchestral music) Oh my god!
(Laughing) What the fuck! (Laughs) (playful orchestral music) I'm gonna test this shit out, and I'm making my hands cold.

(Laughs) - This is crazy. I still don't know how it works, but it works. - I'm a little, I don't, I feel like I'm
about to get my letter to go into Hogwarts, because I'm a fuckin' wizard up in here. - This is gonna be so much fun.

I can't wait to go trick my co-workers. (Soft playful music) - Oh! Jazz! What? That's some magic, like
Harry Potter wizardry. - Blow, like, hot air (laughs) on my hair. (Breathes) - Yeah!
- Oh, wow! - Oh my god, look at it, it's changing! It's so cool! (Laughs) - Oh my god! - [Group] Whoa! - What?! - Wow! - Ben, touch it, I wanna see if it...

- What?! - Just put your cold hand on my head. (Gasps) - What? Oh my god. This is crazy! You should write, like, a 69. - I brought the hot water.

(Laughing) Whoa. (Laughing) - You're like icy blonde. You are my sister. - What the? What does that mean? It went...

- [Jazzmyne] Legit. - What? Look at her Olympics head.
(Laughing) - I feel like my hair is pretty greasy, 'cause people have been
touching it all day. But I also never wanna wash it again, because I want this to last forever. - I'm trying to make this
not sound like an ad, but honestly, it was so cool.

It was like I was walking around with a little magic trick all day. - I feel like if I were
to just see this online, I would never believe that it works, but it totally works. - This was just a really cool, like, temporary change that I
didn't have to commit to. And I think it's a really
good way for, like, people to just try something new.

(Slow upbeat music) (laughs) Not the same effect.
- Fine..

Watch what Whipped Cream Does in a Vacuum Chamber

Watch what Whipped

Image source: http://sd.keepcalm-o-matic.co.uk/i/keep-calm-and-watch-me-whip.png

Hey guys, I'm Nate, welcome back to the workshop We love having comment requests from you guys for ideas of what we should do and we have a request here from Matthew DeRossett Matthew asks what happens if you put whipped cream or beaten egg whites in a vacuum chamber would they turn back into regular cream and egg whites respectively well Matthew we think that's an excellent question so today we're going to try out both of those things We'll take some heavy cream and turn that into whipped cream, then we'll take some egg whites and beat that until we have a meringue Then we'll see what happens if we pull as much air out as we can and see if they return to their regular un-whipped state. Let's start by whipping up some cream Most of the time when you're making whipped cream you do add sugar to it to make it taste a little sweeter, but because we want to see if our whipping cream returns to normal after being whipped, inflated, and deflated in a vacuum chamber, I'm not going to add any sugar to this one so we can see how close it is to the regular unchanged whipping cream There we have it, we have our whipped cream and a bowl and it has been filled with air to the point that it is no longer even a liquid. Now let's take some of this, scoop it off into our vacuum chamber, and see what happens when we depressurize whipped cream I'm not really sure how much of this to put in. I don't know how much it will expand, and I don't want to go so high that I have to turn off the vacuum pump Let's try starting with just a nice little glob not the whole bowl full, and see what happens when we depressurize it It's alive~ That's certainly growing quite a bit.

Oh boy, it still might be too much That was enough to fill the whole chamber all the way Several times Wow I thought the cake batter expanded a lot. It's got nothing on this That's gonna work so cool when we add food coloring Think that it just started to break before I. Opened the valve a little that last time There we go Well that looks kind of disgusting in there right now Doesn't look like whipped cream, and it doesn't look like un-whipped cream It's just sort of this mass of- it looks kind of like plastic sheets got melted onto the walls Guess I'll turn it off Open this up and let some pressure back in There we go, repressurized First impressions, I'm gonna say that has not turned back into regular whipping cream. I don't know what that is, but it's not regular whipping cream All right so when I have a larger amount, of it together on the spatula it is a little more liquid.

Definitely more liquid than whipped cream Tastes about the same Unsurprisingly Um- I feel like some of the milk fat may have started to change form, not so much that it started turning into butter, but something is different about it see what happens if I just scrape all of it as much as I can into sort of one spot Give it an opportunity to cool a little bit All right, we do have a liquid here. It looks like it's still maybe a little thicker than just normal cream. I'm wondering if there's still some air in it, and now that we've gathered it all in one spot, we can pull more out. So let's try turning the vacuum chamber back on and sucking any additional remaining air out of our little pool of cream.

Here goes. So it is expanding, so there's definitely still some air inside that blob in fact it's expanding quite a bit, so I guess there is a lot of air still inside that blob. It's tough to suck all of the air out of something Oh, it's gross well it's still bubbling and popping a lot, and I kind of want to just let it run until that bubbling and popping is mostly stopped, because I think that's when we'll have most of the air pulled out of our cream If it takes too long though, I'm just gonna turn it off All right, this is still bubbling- at about the same rate as it was like, three minutes ago. I think at this point we're just boiling the liquid inside the cream so let's just let the pressure out, and see how liquidy our cream has returned to being.

Stops bubbling as soon as I turn it off. I haven't even put any pressure back in but as soon as I turned off the vacuum it stopped bubbling Oh look at that, it's running Already running as a liquid. Y'know I think that looks pretty much just like cream. We may have done it, we may have just returned whipped cream to an un-whipped state It tastes like cream.

It looks like cream. Well that's really cool. But my favorite part of that is how much the whipped cream expanded, and we didn't really get to see Its full potential because this container is too small. So let's try using the larger jar, and maybe a tiny bit less whipped cream and see if we can still get a tiny bit of cream to fill the whole jar it looked like it was about to do that And that's awesome There we go, I've got a little cup full of our whipped cream.

Now let's add just a little bit of food coloring because I. Think this will be even cooler in color. Let's just add a couple of drops of red and gently mix it in Alright, three The larger chamber of course, does take longer to depressurize, so it's gonna go a little bit slower, but it's definitely growing Is it gonna break? Is it gonna break? Aughhhhhhh I have to add- Nope, nope. I didn't add any pressure back! That was it.

It's like hollow on the inside of this, it's just completely GONE That was great That was great~ look at this That was the most expansive thing we've ever put in a vacuum chamber, I'm pretty sure. I thought the cake batter was good, this well, it takes the cake Takes the cake from cake. That was beautiful. I'm touched.

Alright, let's add pressure back in and see what happens Didn't change a whole lot Yep, that's sort of creamy. It's a little bit liquid. I bet we could combine this together and pull out a little bit more air But we've already tried that. We know what happens.

Now I just want to see more whipped cream expanding. Let's try more colors Alright. Here goes- marbled yellow and blue whipped cream And.. Plop.

Falls to the bottom. That's great Delightful. There you have it, whipped cream in a vacuum chamber. When you pull out all the air, it actually does a pretty good job of returning to normal cream.

It seems like it's about the same consistency, it tastes the same, so I think that one kind of works Now let's try the same experiment using whipped egg whites, also known as meringue There we go, Egg whites from six eggs. I don't make meringue much, so I don't know how much it's gonna make. I feel like it's gonna be way more than I need. Guess we'll find out Alright, we're gonna call that good.

I think they might actually be able to beat even more till they're even more full of air and a little bit stiffer and shinier but I'm also pretty sure that egg whites can break if you beat it too much and since I am not a baking expert, I. Don't want it to break and have to start over. So right now it's pretty stiff, it's not very liquid We're gonna try this, I bet it'll work really well Now the egg whites did expand more than the whipping cream, so I'm kind of wondering if they're going to do the same thing in the vacuum chamber. I almost want to start with an even smaller amount of the meringue Yeah, let's just try about this much- see how it turns out.

Alright, here goes And it is growing And it's holding a shape. It kind of looks like a little ghost or something, like, "I'm a big ghost now~" I. Can see some bubbles on the surface starting to pop already Broken. Nowhere near the expansion of the whipped-cream So while it had a lot of air in it, I.

Wonder if it had so much that it meant all of the walls holding in the bubbles were extra thin It's far from done moving, but it didn't grow very much I think I'm gonna kill this I've killed the vacuum for the moment, and I want to try this same experiment in the smaller chamber, because it pulls the air out of that much faster. I think we'll have better luck getting our meringue to reduce back down to egg white in there Here goes, 3, 2, 1 Yeah, it just starts growing so much faster in this chamber. It just sort of tears itself apart. I.

Don't think it's expanding, it just has air trapped underneath it, and so it's just lifting the whole blob at once Okay let's try adding the pressure back That to me looks- I mean it's the same color as the egg white The whiter parts here floating around, I think they're that little tail that attaches the yolk to the egg white. We had some of that floating around in there I think it's just a little bit more liquid because we've beaten it half to death with a beater. It doesn't really have any of the connections holding it together that it did before. It's kind of return to an egg white state.

Not bad Well there you have it, whipped cream and whipped egg whites in a vacuum chamber We pull out all of the air, and they kind of return to their un-whipped state The egg whites have a very different texture, and I think that's because we broke up the bonds that were holding together the albumin with our egg beater But the whipped cream actually seemed to return to about how it started, which I thought was pretty cool Thank you Matthew DeRossett for your idea. Check your YouTube inbox, we're sending you 25 bucks. If you've got any ideas of things you want to see us try on the show, let us know down in the comments. If we use your idea, we'll send you $25 Thanks guys for joining us for this video and remember to come gear yourself up with products and merch at thekingofrandom.Com See you there.

New experiment. We get a box. It goes around my arm and the bowl, and we fill it with helium. It's airtight mold box Fill it with helium, and then we whip it so that it's full of helium and not air and we make a meringue that literally floats, and it floats- it's not going to work guys, don't- they won't I'm going to crack one egg and then I'm going to put a whole egg in the vacuum chamber, I'll pull a vacuum and we'll see if anything happens to either of them And now quite a few bubbles inside the egg mixture are expanding out.

Ooh~ delightful What's up guys, Grant here. I'm just working behind the scenes on some important stuff. Keep supporting Nate, he's the man and he's bringing back all the diy that you've been asking for.

Why Does Your Hair Turn GraySpeaking of Chemistry

Why Does Your

Image source: http://files.constantcontact.com/3dce95d1401/376ad50c-2b85-4732-bbda-f9ba02026cee.png?a=1125702917505

Theres no surer sign that youre getting
old than finding new gray hairs. But scientists have finally identified a gene involved in
the hair-graying process. What does this mean and how does your hair actually go from colored
to gray? Watch and weep. Geneticists recently examined the DNA of more
than 6,000 people and found specific genes that influence things like baldness, beard
thickness, hair curliness, and even unibrow...Ness.

But the find that got the most attention was
a particular variation in the IRF4 gene that affects when your hair goes gray. Finding
this specific graying variation in the gene could help scientists develop products to
slow the graying process. Or, speed it up, I suppose, if you want to be a silver fox or
avant garde hipster. But we all actually start out gray, in a way.
Before your hair pops out of your scalp, its completely white.

It gets its color from chemistryspecifically
a group of pigment molecules called melanin, which also determine your skintone and eye
color. For hair, theres eumelanin that creates dark shades and pheomelanin that produces
lighter hair colors. The proportion of these two types determines yourand everyone elseshair
color. How that color gets into your initially colorless
hair is up to your follicles.

Every hair follicle in your scalp contains cells called melanocytes,
which produce melanin. As hair grows in the follicle, melanocytes inject melanin pigments
into your hair cells that contain keratin, a protein thats also in your skin and fingernails.
So as your hair grows out of your head, it gets dyed with its natural hue. Over time,
our melanocytes produce less pigment, so our hair starts to lighten as we age. Scientists have recently found that as we
get older, our hair follicles start accumulating hydrogen peroxidethe same stuff people
use to bleach their hair.

Some hydrogen peroxide is normal. We actually make our own H2O2 as
melanocytes color our hair. Enzymes, especially catalase, break down hydrogen peroxide and
keep its concentration in check. But things get out of whack when older follicles cant
generate enough catalase.

Higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide attack tyrosinase , an
important enzyme in melanin production. No melanin, no color in your hair. If you havent gone gray yet you probably
will around the same age as your parents did. But what about factors outside of age and
genetics? A recent study suggests that smoking can result in early onset graying.

And people
are always saying stress brings on the gray, right? Just look at how gray presidents get
while theyre in office. Some researchers say emotional stress could accelerate whats
called oxidative stress, the damage caused by reactive oxygen species like hydrogen peroxide.
But others contend there isnt solid scientific evidence backing this up yet. I guess you
could call all of these hypotheses a gray area. At any rate, its probably not worth stressing
about going gray, anyway.

Its completely natural and you can totally rock the look.

Vegan Coconut Whipped Cream Recipe - Two Ingredient Takeover Mind Over Munch S02E01

Vegan Coconut Whipped

Image source: https://lovingitvegan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Vegan-Chocolate-Ganache-Frosting-5.jpg

Hey there, welcome to Mind Over Munch Two-Ingredient
Takeover. Where I make delicious recipes out of two simple ingredients. Today Im making
my two-ingredient vegan whipped cream. The two ingredients are one can of full fat coconut
milk
and a sweetener of your choice.

You are going to start by putting your can
of coconut milk in the fridge overnight. This is going to help the coconut water separate
from the fat. The water will go to the bottom of the can and the fat comes up to the top.
The next day when you are ready to make your whipped cream or cool whip, take your can
out of the fridge and flip it over, opening it up upside down. This way you can easily
drain all of the water that had set on the bottom and there is no need to throw that
stuff away, it is great in smoothies.

Then you can just scoop out that creamy, coconuty
goodness, thumbs up if youre as stoked about this as me. It should be solid relatively
firm and of course, squishy. If you do not get the full fat coconut milk, this recipe
will not work, like coconut milk does not work, and a lot of the cans are not noted
to be light but they are watered down. So if you pick it up and you shake it around
and it sounds liquidy, it probably wont work.

Your best bet is to check the nutrition
and look for the higher fat versions. In this recipe the more the fat the better.
Transfer that goodness into a large mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl and go ahead and
add a sweetener of your choice. This is completely optional, this whipped cream will taste delicious
just plain as coconut but if you are looking for a more traditional sweet whipped cream
or cool whip, you are going to want to add the sweetener. So go ahead and add in your
stevia or powdered sugar or agave or my personal favorite, coconut sugar, but beware that will
change the color a little bit.

Any sweetener you want is fine. Using your hand or a stand mixer, youre
just going to whip this up for a quick minute or two until it is light and fluffy. And I
always recommend sweetening this to taste. Comment below, I want to know your sweetener
of choice.

And there you have it, your vegan, coconut whipped cream. It is so creamy and
delicious, great on cakes, pies, shakes, coffee, pretty much anything you can think of. This
coconut whipped cream uses a natural wholesome ingredient with so many micro nutrients. Like
anything this should of course be consumed in moderation but if you have a choice between
hydrogenated oils and healthy fats, the choice is yours.

you are viewing on mobile you can click in the description box below to download todays
PDF which contains this recipe on it so you can keep it for later. And of course its

What Your Hair Length Says About Your True Personality

What Your Hair Length Says About Your True Personality

Image source: http://naturalhealingmagazine.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/593053047a51f_crop.jpg

What your hair length reveals about your personality A lot of the times we decide to cut the hair and change our look completely to feel a breath of fresh air and start a new chapter in our lives. Little do we know the hair length may say a lot about a person's personality and character. The truth is that hair is one of the features that define us most, as we choose exactly how it's going to look, and according to one study, it is also a true reflection of our personality. So let's find out what your hair style says about you.

It's not pure science, so don't take this too seriously. Just have fun with it and get to know whether these descriptions will suit you, your friends, family, your boyfriend or girlfriend. Let's start with common women's hair styles. Number one: pixie cut or very short hair Cutting hair short is a very bold choice for women Unfortunately, this beautiful haircut doesn't suit everyone so you never know whether it is exactly for you or not.

However, women with pixie cuts ooze independence, strong will, and femininity in the most powerful way. If you choose this hairstyle as your perfect look, you are quite confident, sociable, flirty and, overall pleasant person. You find it very easy to meet new people and make new friends. You love jobs that allow you to emphasize your intelligence, and you know exactly how to face problems with integrity and self-control.

Although sometimes you can act without thinking. People around you are inspired by your resilient character and your willingness to find new and fun adventures. Well done! You really are the epitome of a strong and powerful female. Number two: bob cut or above the shoulder hair style This haircut is common for females of all ages, and it's no surprise.

It's very easy to manage and it gives you pretty much no trouble, decreasing the number of those annoying bad hair days. So, if bob is your go-to haircut at all times, you are a straight forward person who speaks the truth even when it hurts. Sometimes people appreciate it, sometimes they don't, but a bitter truth is still better than a sweet lie, right? For you finding a balance between your personal and professional life is just a piece of cake. Plus, you are the queen of multitasking.

You are fearless and very well organized. You can't stand routine, you do not have complexes that endlessly make you insecure, and you'd like to experience new things. Sometimes you act before you think, which can make you stumble from time to time, but usually you're not the one to hesitate and go around in circles for too long. You know exactly what you want.

Number three: lob or shoulder length cut The shoulder length haircut is a certain in the middle compromise between having either short or long hair. That's why this is the most popular type of hair length for women. If lob cuts are the essential part of your look you are most probably happy with your feminine, elegant, and sophisticated appearance. You don't try too much in social situations and just enjoy staying true to yourself.

You love to talk and your natural beauty easily attracts everyone who crosses your path. You have an undeniable charisma. That's why after a first encounter people usually want to know you better and meet you again. You are an expert in starting new friendships and maintaining them, and you have a broad spectrum of acquaintances.

You like challenges and new projects, and you always come out victor from any situation. Number four: long or super long hair Pretty much in every shampoo commercial, you see a woman with unbelievably beautiful and thick hair, and for many women having healthy and long hair became a truly dearest wish. Yes, it's hard to manage and it takes a lot of time to style, but beauty comes first isn't it? Well, if you have long hair you are usually very careful, patient, and dreamy. In love you seek a long-term relationship and give your all, but you are also very selective and demanding with your partner.

You are prepared to fight for your relationship, but only if your partner is ready to do the same. The same thing applies to your dreams; you are ready to do the impossible to achieve your goals. You know your worth and respect yourself, without being arrogant, and your perseverance will help you achieve anything you want. And that's it for women's hairstyles.

Share your opinions in the comments on whether you found some similarities in these descriptions with yourself or anyone else you know. What about us, guys? What surprising things can our hair length reveal about us? Time to find out all the answers. Number one: nearly shaved hair or bald head Nearly shaved hair or even bald head often gives other people the signals of dominance total masculinity and toughness Usually, we kind of go for this hairstyle to appear exactly like that for everyone around, right? But does this really work? Well, simply speaking, if you chose this hairstyle as an ultimate one for yourself, it's not that far from the truth. You like to be in control and feel nervous when you know that you can't do anything to change the situation.

You have a neat sense of humor, which at times catch people by surprise, as they think that guys like you take themselves way too seriously. At the same time, you are very focused and serious, most of the time. You are the person that believes there is a time and place for everything, and one should act appropriately in any situation. You are quite careful, and you know exactly how to stand up for yourself and be a great helping hand for everyone around.

Number two: short hair Short hair lengths still proves to be the most popular one among men. It's very easy, both to do and to manage, so most men simply ask the barber just to cut it short. So, what can this hairstyle say about you? First and foremost, you are a very chill person. You are not the biggest party animal; if given the choice you would most likely just enjoy staying with your friends indoors, drink some beer, play video games, or watch some football or any other game.

You can be lazy from time to time, but if you are truly excited about something, it can be very hard to stop you. You are a very friendly, calm, and easy-to-be-around person. You're not afraid of challenges or any type of obstacles. Instead of panicking, you just start to analyze the situation and try to find the way out.

This helps you to succeed and easily get out of trouble. Number three: medium hair Medium length hair gradually becomes more and more popular. There are all sorts of hairstyles you can do with it, plus it usually looks quite fashionable. So, you choose medium length, and probably, unlike the previous type, are really into parties, clubs, and stuff like that.

You enjoy being the center of attention, making funny jokes, and flirting. Most of the time, you don't really look for serious relationships. It's not like you are a womanizer, you just live in the moment and may find it difficult to commit to someone, as you sometimes feel like it may curtail your freedom. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? But everything changes when you find your perfect woman.

You are definitely a wonderful boyfriend or husband. You really like travelling in new adventures. You are an amazing narrator and have numerous hilarious stories to tell. The great guy to be around.

Number four: long hair Finally, guys with long hair. Now it's your turn to listen carefully. You are probably already aware that your look makes multiple women's hearts beat faster, and it's totally understandable, because you probably appear very artistic and mysterious. You are an introvert.

You feel comfortable being on your own and open up only to people you truly care about. Your friends list is short, but there are only true friends there- those who stayed with You through thick and thin. You place great value on friendship and family. It can be hard for people to earn your trust, but once they do it, you will show them all sides of your personality.

You are also a deep thinker, which helps you easily find a creative solution for any problem. You may lean toward artistic types of jobs, if not, still enjoy doing something creative as a hobby- playing guitar, writing poetry, or even woodworking. You are very open minded and free-spirited in its purest form. So, did these descriptions match your personality? Tell us in the comments section below.
