We all see it. We all use it. It’s liquid. It’s blue. It’s not quite water….it’s BARBICIDE!!!!

It's our friendly Barbicide!

 

Yes, good ol’ Barbicide. Did you know this blue liquid kills almost everything? The HIV Virus, Fungus, Germs, Bacteria, Viruses…and if ingested it can make all of your organs go into shock…so it could probably kill you too…but whatever. Barbicide was invented back in the 40′s and it still used today. No other disinfectant is as powerful or stays blue longer  (they usually turn brown or green after a while).

BARBIE-CIDE?

Invented by a man named Maurice King, this solution was sent out to all barber shops and salons to use to keep tools and implements clean and disinfected. Apparently Maurice hated going to the barbershops and so as a secret joke gave it the name Barbicide which means “To kill the barber…”

So it’s practically winter and we’ve all heard it a thousand times before…. Go darker with your hair in the winter and brighter and lighter in the summer.I am not saying I agree or disagree. I mean come on, everyone is different, both in personality and shape, color and size. So to dictate and entire mass to follow the same trend and same structure every year…. That gets a little…. boring…. don’t you think!??

Well…. I Do.

The Guinness Book of World Records just announced the new worlds largest afro.

Aevin Dugas a 36 year-old social worker from New Orleans, USA, is the proud owner of the largest natural afro in the world with a circumference measuring an incredible 4 ft. 4 in (1.32 m).

The hairstyle that has taken over 12 years to grow can at times be problematic.

 

“It’s always getting caught in trees, and one time I even slammed my hair in the car door!  And I hate it when people touch it without asking my permission first!” , she admits.

 

 ”As a woman you’re told that straight hair is beautiful hair. This is crazy.  The afro is my natural hairstyle and there can’t be anything more beautiful than that”.

Aevin trims her afro three times a year, and uses up to five conditioners at once when she washes it.

“You want to know the best thing about my hair?” Aevin says with a smile: “It provides the perfect pillow. I sleep very well.”The hair is larger than a disco ball! Aevin’s hairstyle is so large she could fit the world’s shortest man inside!

 

The Many Uses For Hair Dryers… Besides Your Hair.

Here is a fun list Yahoo! Green put together filled with 15 (+1 Bonus) ways you can use a hair dryer,; besides using it on your hair.

Hope you enjoy!:

“

  1. If you need to quickly set the icing on a cake, the air and heat of a hair dryer can quicken up the process.
  2. If your cake won’t unstick from the cake pan, use your hair dryer on the bottom of the pan then invert it, it should drop right out.
  3. Running an ice cream scoop under hot water helps, but you can also try using a hair dryer on the carton to soften ice cream for easy scooping.
  4. Some people use pots of boiling water to quicken freezer defrosting, but a hot hair dryer works even more quickly. (Be careful of puddles of water and the dryer, though.)
  5. Automatic ice-makers can get jammed with frozen ice; relieve that with a long blast of hot air to melt unwanted icebergs.
  6. Remove contact paper from shelves by heating it with the hair dryer and gently working the edges up. Also works for bumper stickers and other rogue sticky things.
  7. Use a hair dryer to dust hard-to-dust items; the air will blow the dust somewhere else, but hopefully somewhere else that is easier to dust.
  8. Personally, I like my kids’ crayon marks on my walls, but for the rest of you: Heat the crayon marks until softened, then scrub with hot water and detergent.
  9. Old photo albums with magnetic pages can get stuck — unstick them with a blast from the hair dryer.
  10. Spot-iron wrinkles by lightly dampening the area and then heating the wrinkles with your dryer.
  11. Wet boots, shoes, and sneakers can take on a terrible odor if left to dry slowly — alleviate that by drying them with your hair dryer.
  12. Winter can bring frozen windows and locks — thaw them with a hair dryer.
  13. Window screens collecting dust and pollen? Blow it back to whence it came.
  14. Removing bandages can hurt more than the wound, so soften the adhesive with a hair dryer first to ease the rip.
  15. If you have trouble keeping a hot compress hot, keep your hair dryer by you and reheat as necessary.

Bonus: For wrinkled ribbons and fabric belts, employ a curling iron to straighten them out.

Michelle Monaghan joins the redhead club. Monaghan showed off her fiery looks at the Toronto Film Festival on Monday.  According to some this cut and color seem to be quite the  resemblance to The Help star, Emma Stone….. I guess I see it.

“

On Sunday night she was recognized at the Creative Coalition’s 2011 Spotlight Initiative Awards for her work in the film, which is based on an inspirational true story of a drug dealer who transforms his life.

“To be honored with a Spotlight Award means a lot to me, actually,” Monaghan said. “I think it’s important to recognize projects that take a risk, and this one isn’t afraid to confront the audience with some tough material.”
