I had black hair for a while, and got some black and blonde extensions, blonde on top, and black underneathI recently dyed it pure black, and now I want to dye my black and blonde extensions just pure blackBut they're horse hair, i've heard mixed answers, yes you can, no you can't dye themSo I need a clear, detailed answer if I can or notAlso, if I can, can you give me steps? And how long exactly should I leave the dye in the extensions? Thanks!Most detailed answer gets 10 points:)
I live in Calgary, Alberta and it can get cold in the winter, but it doesn't last for too longSometimes in -30'sBut usually -10 to -20 celsiusWe also get a lot of chinooks from the mountains that send us warm, mild airI live in a condo on the top floor and we never turn on our furnace in the winter.the heat risesOur heating bills are no more than $40.00/monthWe are lucky in that sense.
Vancouver which in winter hovers around 0-5CI have R-40 insulation but newer ones have moregenerally fibreglass battens in the walls and loose insulation in the atticsdouble pane windows, natural gas heating use about 0.2 Gigajoules per month in summer (hot water only) but that goes up to almost 1.0 GJ/day in winter months when furnace kicks in.
You see my pic, people assume I'm California but alas Canada does see sun and today its 28 degrees out and our house is insulated much the same as yoursPeople assume we're all ice and snow up here, our summers can be just as hot if not hotter on some days as Florida
Most people heat their houses to somewhere around 68-70F, though some, like me, find that too warmI stick to 65 or lowerIn a very cold area, people still heat their houses to about the same temperature as in warmer areas, or at least they try to, but it costs them more to do itHow much insulation you have depends on how thick your walls areWalls used to be mostly built of 2x4s which gave about 3.5 of insulation, but many newer houses have 2x6 walls so there's about 5.5Roof or attic insulation varies considerably, depending on the age and style of the house, but most places will have 4 inches minimumInsulation is almost always fibreglass batts these daysNewer houses have sealed double glazed windows which make a tremendous difference in your heat bill and comfort level since they create fewer cold draftsI'm in coastal BC where it doesn't get very coldI have an electric furnace so can't separate heating costs easily from the rest of the electric billMy electric bill, which is calculated in kwh, is about $100/month year-round average for a 1,000 sqft house and one personI'd guess that half of that is for heat, but I'm very conservative with the heatI turn it off when I'm out and at nightIn a colder climate I probably couldn't do that or my pipes would freeze.
