Rainbow hairstyle, anyone?

A woman has left the internet baffled after debuting her unique hairstyle in an online video — and now everyone wants to copy her.

At a glance, the dark-haired woman, known only as Jaye, appears to have a normal cropped style. But when she runs her hands through it, viewers are treated to a rainbow of colour as she reveals her amazing green, blue and purple highlights.

The picture was originally uploaded to Tumblr by Jaye last month. Since then it has been viewed more than 330,000 times and Jaye has been inundated with questions about her unique hairstyle.


An egg within an egg!

Chris and Jane Keast couldn’t believe their eyes when they witnessed the result of a rare phenomenon. When one morning, Jane broke the extra-large egg for their breakfast there rolled in the second egg into her frying pan leaving the couple baffled!

The inner-egg was the size of a 2p piece and its shell was still in one piece.

Jane cracked it open and found there was no yolk inside, just the egg white.

Experts say the rare phenomenon is just a quirk of nature and can occur if the hen receives a shock during egg production.


The world’s most helpful dog?

You might envy this dog, who is a big help to his owner. Recently, the clip shared on the social networking site about a handsome German shepherd who loves doing household chores.

One-year-old Baron loads the dishwasher by taking pots off the sink with his teeth and placing them into the wire racks. The dog then heads over to the washing machine and starts adding socks into the drum before grabbing a broom and sweeping the kitchen floor.

The lucky owner, Linda Gonzalez after realising her dog loves nothing more than finishing off all her household chores made Baron’s Instagram and Snapchat accounts, on which Gonzalez uploads scores of adorable photos of her handsome hound.
