− | <p>At the beginning of the project, we carried out a wide range of surveys via interviews, | + | <p>Chemical dyes do great harm to our hair, but nowadays many college students know the harm, |

− | people were interested in Mr. Tony's products with some trust and expectation, the | + | less have hair health problems, such as poorer hair quality, hair bifurcations and so on. |
− | designated product didn't actually eliminate people's biases.</p>
| + | Frequent use of chemical dyes leads to the deterioration of hair quality. The sequelae of |
− | <p>We looked up the relevant information comprehensively and found that prejudice is essentially
| + | appearance reduction such as hair loss, hair loss and bifurcation are the main reasons for |
− | a negative understanding and attitude to people and things that bulit up from objective
| + | college students to give up dyeing their hair. Most students who have dyed their hair or |
− | facts, just like stereotypes. Prejudice is not easy to be eliminated in a short period of
| + | want to dye their hair say they will choose not to dye their hair if the dye makes their |
− | time, and it often requires years of subtle influence to do so. But we wouldn't give up just
| + | hair worse. For natural plant hair dyeing products, most students are very willing to try |

| + | dyeing can have the advantages of various color selectivity and high color fastness like |
− | <p>In addition, we also found that the most terrible prejudice is often the prejudice against

| + | also the prime consideration of their choice of dye. College students who do not have a |

− | University of British Columbia in Canada and health coach, says it's not uncommon, or even
| + | |

| + | |
− | are biases that are embedded by others, often from families where people grew up, and may be | + | |
− | judged from a conservative perspective by family members. And the elimination of this
| + | |
− | prejudice often rely on self-contained self-confidence and a strong heart, telling
| + | |
− | themselves to be brave and not care about what others think. It is in this way that
| + | |
− | HUST-China launched the Brave Color Challenge around the world, calling on people to
| + | |

| + | |
− | <p>The slogan of Brave Color Challenge is to be brave to find the own self, and draws on the
| + | |
− | relay model of the Ice Bucket Challenge to expand the project's impact. We allow challengers | + | |
− | to change their hair color via Photoshop, eliminating challengers' concerns about hair | + | |
− | health and social attitudes, skipping tedious thoughts and selection processes, and just | + | |
− | appreciating their hairstyle after dyeing their hair. We not only provided hair color advice
| + | |
− | for the challenger, more importantly, we aimed to let the challenger find a more beautiful
| + | |
− | self, and encourage them to be brave take steps to embrace their own identity. After the | + | |
− | challenge, many challengers told us that they did challenge themselves and found
| + | |
− | self-confidence. HUST-China is proud to contribute to the elimination of self-prejudice.</p> | + | |
− | <p>In addition, we have made the benefits of natural dyes widely understood to challengers and
| + | |
− | the public through knowledge cards in the hope of enhancing public understanding of this | + | |
− | potentially large but low market share industry.</p> | + | |

| + | <p>Interviewees: three college students from Huazhong University of Science |
| + | and Technology</p> |
| + | <p>Detailed interview notes are as follows:</p> |
| + | <p>Interviewee A:girl with her hair dyed</p> |
| + | <p>Q:How long have you dyed your hair? And how many times have you dyed your |
| + | hair?</p> |
| + | <p>A:It has been dyed for a while, about a month or so. This is the fourth |
| + | time I have dyed my hair.</p> |
| + | <p>Q:The fourth time to dye your hair, it should be regarded as more |
| + | relative to dyeing your hair, so what aspects do you value in your |
| + | choice of hair dye all the time? Are there any requirements for the |
| + | choice of hair dye?</p> |
| + | <p>A:What I value more is the raw material of hair dye. I generally prefer |
| + | the one that does the least harm to my hair. Because I personally like |
| + | to dye my hair, I want to try any kind of color. If the hair dye does |
| + | too much harm to my hair, my hair health can not support my desire to |
| + | dye all kinds of colors.</p> |
| + | <p>Q:May I ask whether your hair dye is chemical dye or natural dye?</p> |
| + | <p>A:Chemical dye. I am just worried that the natural dye will be dyed black |
| + | like Polygonum multiform, and the color richness may not be as much as |
| + | that of chemical dye.</p> |
| + | <p>Q:Oh, so if there is a "natural dye hair dye" product on the market, and |
| + | there are many colors to choose from, would you want to try it?</p> |
| + | <p>A:If the price is also pleasant, it would be great, and it would be a |
| + | boon for those of us who are addicted to dyeing our hair.</p> |
| + | <p>Interviewee B:girl with black hair</p> |
| + | <p>Q:Have you ever dyed your hair? Or do you want to dye your hair?</p> |
| + | <p>A:I haven't dyed it. I actually want to dye my hair a little bit.</p> |
| + | <p>Q: Oh, so what is the reason why you didn't dye your hair?</p> |
| + | <p>A: because my hair has not been very good and dry since I was a child, |
| + | and it has a little bifurcation. I'm worried that dyeing my hair will |
| + | make it worse for my unhealthy hair.</p> |
| + | <p>Q: if hair dye is made from natural pigment, would you like to try it? |
| + | </p> |
| + | <p>A: yes, I would. Would you like to add chemicals if you dye your hair |
| + | with natural pigments?</p> |
| + | <p>Q: the dye produced by our project does not add chemicals, and it also |
| + | has a good effect on hair dyeing.</p> |
| + | <p>A: in that case, I'm more than willing to try.</p> |
| + | <p>Interviewee C:girl with black hair</p> |
| + | <p>Q: Hi, have you ever dyed your hair?</p> |
| + | <p>A: dyed it. But it was a long time ago.</p> |
| + | <p>Q: then why don't you dye it now?</p> |
| + | <p>A: last time I dyed and bleached my hair, which damaged the quality of my |
| + | hair a lot and broke a lot of hair. After that, I never dared to try to |
| + | dye my hair again.</p> |
| + | <p>Q: did you choose the chemical dye for your hair last time?</p> |
| + | <p>A: yes, the barber recommended it, but I think it does too much harm to |
| + | the hair.</p> |
| + | <p>Q: what do you think of natural hair dyeing products? Have you ever |
| + | considered using this kind of product to dye your hair?</p> |
| + | <p>A: yes, but the price of this kind of product in the barber shop is |
| + | really a little high for me as a student, so I am prohibitive. Hair |
| + | dyeing is not necessary, it's just a decoration.</p> |
| + | <p>Q: what if there is a hair dye product with friendly price, green raw |
| + | material and good effect? Do you have the idea to try?</p> |
| + | <p>A: if there is such a product, I would want to dye my hair again. As I |
| + | just said, hair dyeing is a decoration, although hair dyeing is |
| + | optional, but if you dye it to make yourself look good, why not do it? |

| + | <h3>Elderly people</h3> |
| + | <p>In order to investigate the views of different age groups on hair dyeing and hair care, we |
| + | interviewed the middle-aged and elderly people by means of online video. Through our |
| + | interview, we found that more and more middle-aged and elderly people choose to dye their |
| + | hair because of the increase in gray hair. Most people say that they are very supportive of |
| + | hair dyeing, which can cover their silver hair and make a person more energetic in |
| + | appearance, and their mentality will become younger when they see themselves younger. Many |
| + | people say this is an act of killing two birds with one stone. Through our survey, we also |
| + | found that people today are under great social pressure and a fast pace of life, resulting |
| + | in a continuous decline in the age of silver-haired people, and many middle-aged people in |
| + | their forties and fifties (not really old age) also have a lot of gray hair. This group is |
| + | also one of the main consumers in the hair dyeing market. Compared with college students, |
| + | this kind of hair dye consumers are different in their higher consumption and more pursuit |
| + | of quality and raw materials. For them, the safety and health of dyes are more important. |
| + | Many people choose dyes with advertising words such as "traditional Chinese medicine", |
| + | "natural" and "health". They value health more than a variety of colors and cheap prices. |
| + | Therefore, we believe that middle-aged and elderly group will be the main consumers of |
| + | natural dyes.</p> |

| + | <p>Interviewees: two middle-aged and elderly residents: two middle-aged and |
| + | elderly residents. Detailed interview notes are as follows:</p> |
| + | <p>Interviewee D:An old man with black hair mixed with a little gray hair |
| + | </p> |
| + | <p>Q: what do you think of hair dyeing? Do you want to dye it black when you |
| + | have gray hair?</p> |
| + | <p>A: I kind of want to dye my hair. Now that white hair grows out, it shows |
| + | that people are old, and people with dyed hair look younger and look |
| + | better.</p> |
| + | <p>Q: so what kind of hair dyeing products will you choose if you dye your |
| + | hair later?</p> |
| + | <p>A: I see the kind of traditional Chinese medicine dye hair in the |
| + | advertisement, which attracts me very much.</p> |
| + | <p>Q: that's natural dyes. What do you think of chemical dyes?</p> |
| + | <p>A: I always feel that chemical dyes are bad for our health. That hair is |
| + | attached to the scalp. It would be bad if some chemical seeps into the |
| + | body from the scalp and does any harm to the body. We are old now, and |
| + | we are not as good as we used to be. We dare not use it |
| + | indiscriminately.</p> |
| + | <p>Interviewee E:A dark-haired aunt around 60</p> |
| + | <p>Q: Hello, auntie. Your bright black hair is very beautiful. I'd like to |
| + | interview you about how to take care of your hair every day.</p> |
| + | <p>A: I dyed my hair at home. I'm old now. My hair is gray a lot. I look |
| + | young when I dye my hair, and I'm in better spirits.</p> |
| + | <p>Q: Oh, what kind of hair dye do you choose to dye your own hair?</p> |
| + | <p>A: I saw a traditional Chinese medicine hair dye on TV. It advertised |
| + | that traditional Chinese medicine hair dye would not hurt my health. I |
| + | bought it to try it.</p> |
| + | <p>Q: so you chose this product because its slogan is "traditional Chinese |
| + | medicine" and "it doesn't hurt your body"?</p> |
| + | <p>A: that's right. We all know traditional Chinese medicine. Recuperating |
| + | the body will definitely do much less harm to the scalp.</p> |

| + | <h2>1.2 Social Attitude</h2> |
| + | <p>In addition to the health effects of dye reagents, the public's attitude towards hair dyeing |
| + | is also an important factor restricting the freedom to perm and dye hair. In China, |
| + | especially among the older generation, perming and dyeing hair, especially those with |
| + | exaggerated shapes and colors, are often regarded as informal or too lively. Considering the |
| + | universal practicality of the product, we investigated the attitudes of different classes |
| + | towards hair dyeing. The overall survey results show that most people are not resistant to |
| + | hair dyeing, and many people say they want to try. The main problem is that if you want to |
| + | dye your hair, you need to dye it back, which not only do harms the quality of your hair, |
| + | but also makes it more troublesome. Therefore, we imagine that the "fade" function will be |
| + | added to the project, and the color can be faded by using other substances after dyeing the |
| + | hair.</p> |
| + | <h3>Company and employees</h3> |
| + | <div class="image"><img alt="Company-and-employees" |

| + | style="width: 100%" /> |
| + | <p>Figure 3: Company-and-employees</p> |
| + | </div> |
| + | <p>For individuals, dyeing hair shows personality, represents avantgarde and their attention |
| + | towards appearance. But for employees at work, they may be tied up in order to maintain |
| + | their appearance at a critical moment. For companies, employees should be loyal to their |
| + | work when they are at work. If there are more such employees, it will increase unnecessary |
| + | economic and time costs for the company. The boss said that enterprises need to have |
| + | enterprise culture, regulations, and some restrictions. Company needs to regulate employees' |
| + | behavior and appearance during work in order to maintain the image of the company. At the |
| + | same time, the boss also said that apart from working hours, the company has no objection |
| + | but respect all ideas of employees to manage their appearance and publicize their |
| + | personality. When interviewing employees, we come to the conclusion that although most |
| + | people have the desire to dye their hair, it is inconvenient or troublesome for them to go |
| + | to work. Although the company does not restrict the behavior of individuals during their |
| + | non-working hours, dyeing their hair after work and back to work for a day or two is both |
| + | time-consuming, and it will do more harm than good for people who work in society. The |
| + | person in charge said that he very supports the idea that employees have such an idea to |
| + | dress themselves up. Employees do what they want to do without violating the company rules, |
| + | and keeping a happy mood is also a guarantee for the boss</p> |

| + | <p>The plant dyeing process is quite complex and is gradually replaced by |

| + | family of blue-dye craftsmen. She studied Blue-dye from an early age, |
| + | but she did not continue to work in the industry because of the narrow |
| + | market. Later, she innovated the type, color, pattern and technology of |
| + | weaving and dyeing, created her own brand, and was awarded the title of |
| + | "inheritor of vegetation dyeing of Pujiang County Intangible Cultural |
| + | Heritage".</p> |

| + | colors and made use of batik, tie dyeing, knock dyeing and other |
| + | techniques, together with a variety of patterns, to turn blue-dyed |
| + | fabrics into works of art and coruscate new vitality. However, at |

| + | technology to achieve quantitative analysis and clarify the chemical |
| + | composition and biochemical principles of additives in plant dyeing |
| + | processes to make traditional dyes go further. The research and |

| + | <p>In the Dali Lanxu tie-dyeing experience Museum, we learned that the |
| + | tie-dyeing process is divided into two processes: tying and dyeing. The |
| + | technique of tying determines the trend and basic shape of the pattern. |
| + | Complex and exquisite patterns often need to be embroidered with basic |
| + | pattern units in advance, which is similar to the principle of cutting |
| + | window grilles, showing the final pattern symmetrically, and then in |
| + | interviews with staff and follow-up visits, we deeply understand that |
| + | traditional and natural as the keyword of this old craft, have been paid |
| + | more and more attention by the society in recent years, and also meet |
| + | the consumption needs of people in the new era. However, the failure of |
| + | natural dyeing and traditional technology to achieve large-scale |
| + | production is still a huge problem faced by the traditional process, and |
| + | it is precisely because of this that the main production mode of the |
| + | traditional handicraft industry is still small-scale operation, and |
| + | heavily relies on tourism and other industries. In addition to producing |
| + | dyes, our team also needs to explore the optimal dyeing conditions and |
| + | color mixing experiments in order to provide the possibility of showing |
| + | a variety of colors in the tie-dyeing process and mass production. At |
