Imagine if you could go from blonde to brunette with just one sweep of a hair-straightener and without using any hair-dye.<\/p>\n
Thanks to engineers at the Los Alamos National Laboratories and the University of New Mexico, that\u2019s no longer just a pipe dream.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ve invented a device, which looks remarkably similar to hair straighteners and uses\u00a0focused ion beam technology to etch patterns onto each strand of hair.<\/p>\n
Those patterns reflect light in such a way that the hair appears to change colour \u2013 to blonde, brunette, or even multi-coloured if you like.<\/p>\n
The device has been 5 years in development and has already been tested on\u00a0black, brown and blonde hair, with brown locks proving the most susceptible to the new technology (see, brunettes do have more fun).<\/p>\n
It could allow those who like to experiment with different shades the chance to create bespoke hair colours, or patterns, taking the trend for hair stencils to the next level.<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s perfect for anyone who is unable to use hair dye due to allergies or skin sensitivities.<\/p>\n
The effect could either be permanent or semi-permanent, according to creator Professor Leseman, who says one way to do is: \u2018to make the pattern directly onto your hair\u2026and that would be more of a permanent change until it grows out.\u2019<\/p>\n
The alternative would be to create a conditioner type product, a \u2018kind of polymer coating for your hair\u2019, he says, which could then be easily washed out.<\/p>\n
Anyone fancy going blonde for the night?<\/p>\n
