The Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz is often portrayed as a dark and brooding character, but beneath her intimidating exterior lies a deep sadness. Throughout the story, it becomes evident that the Wicked Witch's actions are driven by an underlying sense of loneliness and rejection. From her first encounter with Dorothy and her friends, it is clear that the Witch feels excluded from society. She is constantly reminded of her differences, mainly the color of her skin, which sets her apart from others. This ostracization fuels her bitterness and resentment towards those who seem to fit in effortlessly. Furthermore, it is revealed that the Witch's primary motivation is to retrieve the ruby slippers worn by Dorothy.
You wouldn't believe what this has done to get rid of my split ends. I also get hair cuts around every 6 weeks - there is no miracle for split ends, you have to have them trimmed off, but in one month of not shampooing my ends, my hair drastically improved.
I can t believe how shiny my hair is and it does bring out highlights in my color treated hair WITHOUT stripping the color along the hair shaft, or lifting the color from the roots. Then I wrapped my hair in plastic wrap and went out in the sun you don t have to go out in the sun, but I do keep the plastic wrap on for around 1 2 hour to 1 hour, or as long as I can stand it.
Furthermore, it is revealed that the Witch's primary motivation is to retrieve the ruby slippers worn by Dorothy. These slippers represent power and control, something the Witch desperately craves. It seems that she believes obtaining these slippers will bring her the recognition and acceptance she has always desired but never received.
Ardell Gray Magic Color Additive Reviews
Someone on Thriftyfun recommended Gray Magic for hard to color gray hair. I tried it last week and it worked. The instructions recommend 10 drops for one ounce of color. I just followed the Revlon hair color directions and mixed the hair color with the developer and shook it really well as usual. Then I added 10 drops of Gray Magic, and shook the bottle of hair color really well again.
Ok, don't get scared, but after I added the 10 drops, it turned the hair color dark purple! Yes, I was scared. But my philosophy is - hair can always be colored again. I colored my hair as usual, concentrating on the roots. But I also use a large tooth comb to drag the color through the rest of my hair and put some on the ends, since my hair fades there quite a bit.
AdvertisementI did keep my hair color on for much longer than the Revlon instructions; but I always do. I kept it on for about 1 hour. This is IN ADDITION to the time it takes me to actually put the color on my hair (which seems to take forever).
Then, still following Revlon's instructions, mixed a little warm water to my hair making it suds up a bit. I rinsed really, really well - but I always do. Don't get scared. When I rinsed, it rinsed out dark purple. I was scared. However, my results were great and I will definitely use it again. It colored all of my hard to cover grays.
Then I used a really intense hair conditioner after I rinsed and towel dried my hair. Then I wrapped my hair in plastic wrap and went out in the sun (you don't have to go out in the sun, but I do keep the plastic wrap on for around 1/2 hour to 1 hour, or as long as I can stand it. Then I rinse the conditioner out really, really well. I usually let my hair air dry after this, but I've also styled my hair immediately after too.
AdvertisementBut this is one secret I have learned: I never, ever wash my hair the day before I color. In fact, I wait about 4 days after shampooing. Then, I don't shampoo my hair for around 4 days after I color. I don't have oily hair anymore (I'm 52). The combination of all of these things makes my hair color not fade as fast, I don't know why.
But I do rinse my hair in between shampoos (rinse really, really well to remove any gels, hairsprays, etc.) and then style as usual with gel, whatever, hair spray. The next day, I rinse, style and that's that. My hair doesn't get oily.
I bought Gray Magic at Sally Beauty Supply in Houston, Texas, USA, but they do have stores all of the USA.

The Gray Magic box says it's made in the USA, but here is more info from the box: Gray Magic is a registered trademark of American International Industries; AII (UK) Ltd; Berkshire R! 7SR.

I have stopped using shampoo and any hair products with sodium lauryl sulfate. I find it strips my color and dries my hair. This includes high end hair products as well as drugstore kind.
A shampoo that is my latest love is by Shikai and is called Henna Gold Highlighting Shampoo. Safe for color treated hair. And shiny? I can't believe how shiny my hair is and it does bring out highlights in my color treated hair WITHOUT stripping the color along the hair shaft, or lifting the color from the roots. No animal testing or animal ingredients.
AdvertisementA very nice product. I bought it for around $7.99 US for 12 ounces, at a local Whole Foods Store, a high end health food store (www.wholefoodds.com). Here are the shampoo details:

I only use a little bit of this shampoo on my scalp after I rinse my hair really, really, really well before I put on the shampoo.
Another trick: I never, ever shampoo the ends of my hair. I only shampoo the roots, which is really the only part that needs actual cleaning.
You wouldn't believe what this has done to get rid of my split ends. I also get hair cuts around every 6 weeks - there is no miracle for split ends, you have to have them trimmed off, but in one month of not shampooing my ends, my hair drastically improved.
AdvertisementI used Revlon brand 'Colorsilk' in 'medium brown' hair color - sorry, I didn't write down the color's number. I buy it at local drugstores (Walgreens, CVS) and also at Walmart and Target. All of these stores have websites: walgreens.com, cvs.com, walmart.com, target.com, probably at drugstore.com too.
You could probably email Revlon for a store that sells it near you.
Well, I think I have exhausted the subject! I hope you have good luck if you decide to try Gray Magic!

As the story progresses, we learn about the Witch's tragic backstory. Born into a life of hardship and rejection, she is known as Elphaba, and her birth is met with considerable disappointment from her family. This constant lack of acceptance and approval from her loved ones ultimately shapes her identity as the Wicked Witch of the West. In a world where she feels misunderstood and unwanted, Elphaba's transformation into the Wicked Witch serves as a coping mechanism. By embracing her role as the villain, she gains a sense of power and control that compensates for her deep-seated sadness. The wickedness becomes a shield to protect herself from the pain of rejection and heartache. Overall, the portrayal of the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz carries a profound message about the consequence of isolation and the toll it takes on an individual's emotional well-being. Behind her menacing facade lies a character burdened by sadness and longing for acceptance. This complexity adds depth to the story and allows us to empathize with the supposed villain..

The acting felt forced and some of the dialogue was cringe-worthy. The storyline had potential, but it failed to deliver the emotional impact I was hoping for. The lack of character development made it hard for me to care about their journey. Overall, this movie had its moments, but it didn't live up to my expectations.
- Sarah - 2.5/5 stars - I had mixed feelings about "Wizard of oz wicked witch is dsad". On one hand, I appreciated the creative twist on the original story, but on the other hand, the execution felt lacking. The pacing was off, making certain scenes drag on for too long. Additionally, the costume design and makeup of the wicked witch were lackluster, failing to capture the menacing presence I was anticipating. While the concept had potential, the overall execution left much to be desired.
