According to new research, blondes have more sex appeal. A team of experts in the UK found a link between a sexually active behavior and hair dye. The study revealed that women who dye their hair blonde are more sexually active, because - the study shows - blonde women are more confident and are more likely to initiate sex. Apparently, you don’t need a fancy hair cut, fancy shears, or Yoko scissors - just some good ol’ blonde dye.

“Coloring your hair may seem like an art to most people, but there is actually a lot of science behind it,” said the lead researcher on the study. “The changes we noted in the study participants’ behavior and psychology were significant.”

The team reached their findings after studying 205 women aged between 25 and 66 who dyed their hair. In their study, the researchers found more than 50% of the study participants colored their hair simply to gain attention from strangers or be noticed by friends and co-workers.

Also, the women who dyed their hair blonde were more likely to discuss the topic of a pay raise at work, or raise complains, and ask someone out on a date than women who did not color their hair.

“Not only were their confidence and mood levels elevated but also their inhibitions seemed to be mitigated with many reporting feeling more attractive and sexually exciting,” Dr Sergeant - the head reseracher - said, “there was a marked improvement in the ability to express their opinions and ask for things that they may not ask for ordinarily in a work environment.”

“Across the board participants viewed coloring their hair as something that raised their confidence. They were prepared to ask for things they wouldn’t normally be confident enough to ask for.

Rumer Willis - daugher of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore - is known around Hollywood as a bit of a fashion disaster, but it appears she got it right this time - with the help of a new hair color and a little black dress.

The dress revealed her new slender frame, as well as a tattoo which says, “be present.”

Rumer was also sporting a new red hair colour at the event in Los Angeles County Museum of Art event. The red color made a big difference in her complexion and the fussy, funky ‘do must’ve been cut by an amazing stylist with some amazing scissors - maybe a Yoko scissor?!

An Atlanta woman worked hard to make her haistylist business run well - and in the process she created quite a name for herself!

Before a Yoko scissor was even known as a great tool of styling, Ethel Fae Evans would wake up at 5 a.m. and walk 10 miles every morning, the begin a long day of work in the beauty salon she ran out of her home in northwest Atlanta.

She didn’t have far to go to get to work - Ethel’s Beauty Shop was in her basement. Mrs. Evans had no sign out front, but that didn’t seem to hurt her business. According to Mrs. Evans’ daughter, local politicians and celebrities came to her to have their hair done.

There may not be too many home-run salons nowadays, and certianly not many that draw in politicians - but Ethel managed to build a brandable, successful business anyway! And that’s a lesson anyone can take with them, no matter where you work from!
