          It can be tricky knowing when you should use ash hair colors. I have put a few tips below for times when you should be using ash hair color over natural or other toned colors.

·         The major reason for the use of ash colors is when you want to eliminate the “golden” or “red” tones in your hair color.

·         Another reason to use ash colors is when you have natural gold or red tones in your hair. For many who color their hair, the pesky “golden” tones that result can be resolved by using an ash based hair color.

·         Not only can using ash colors help prevent unwanted tones; it can soften your color to a more even all over color. If you have hi-lights you are covering up with an all-over color, or only using one color, it can help to even out the uneven tones that may result from starting with more than one color in your hair.

It’s always been said that you should never touch a bird’s eggs, or its nest, in fear the parents will not return to take care of it. Well… Recently we had a heavy thunderstorm come through with high winds. The next morning we noticed that a bird’s nest had been blown out of a tree. This has happened before, but this time there was a baby bird that had fallen out. I have never seen such a small bird, and to our surprise it was still alive after falling out of its nest. It had no feathers at all, but you could see it breathing.

So the question arose!! Should we try to put the little guy back in its nest? Or would touching the baby Robin, as well as the nest, make the parents abandon it?

After doing some quick research, we were surprised to learn that birds have a low sense of smell. So we decided to try and put the bird back in its nest and put the nest back into the tree.
