Some years back in my career, while I was only concerned with\u00a0using whatever products I felt performed well, I ran into a problem.\u00a0\u00a0Several clients\u00a0scalps were mildly to intensively reacting to the color line I was using.\u00a0 For a while,\u00a0I adjusted the formulas by watering them down and that a helped a bit, but eventually, with some of\u00a0these clients, things progressed in a bad way.\u00a0 I hate to admit that\u00a0one even went into anaphylactic shock which then\u00a0actually led her to the ER.\u00a0 This particular client also expressed that she did not want to stop coloring her hair and pleaded with me, asking if there was anything I could do.\u00a0 Another client, who was having a reaction not so severe but still, a reaction, brought me a photocopy of a study about a particular ingredient in most all hair color lines that was\u00a0quite toxic.\u00a0 So, this, amongst a few other things, got the ball rolling for me to begin really spending time researching ingredients in hair color, and then eventually\u00a0all personal care products (ie. shampoo, hair gel, makeup, toothpaste, etc) to see what affect they have on the human body.<\/p>\n
I’ve learned a lot.\u00a0 I don’t think the things we do randomly or in moderation are things of high concern, but rather the things we do often and repeatedly… these have an affect, whether good or bad.\u00a0 And so it is with all\u00a0the personal care products that most of us use daily on our bodies.\u00a0 Think about it.\u00a0 From the time you wake up until you leave the house, what do you do?\u00a0 You take a shower and use soap, shampoo, conditioner and\u00a0shaving cream.\u00a0 Then you get out and possibly use moisturizer, after shave, antiperspirant, toothpaste, hair products, perfume,\u00a0sunscreen, makeup and more.\u00a0\u00a0By the time you leave the house, if you add up the ingredients in\u00a0all of those bottles, you’ll see that you\u00a0easily have interacted with over 100 ingredients.\u00a0 If half of these are toxic, meaning they contain things like carcinogens, hormone disruptors or allergens, this may explain some of\u00a0your health problems as life goes on.<\/p>\n
And so yes, there are other things that affect our health like how we eat, sleep and exercise.\u00a0 There are also other products we use around our home, like cleaning products, that could be affecting us.\u00a0 But, my industry revolves around personal care and so\u00a0my salon\u00a0as well as\u00a0the info I share on this blog and\u00a0on social media\u00a0are just ways\u00a0for me to do my part in helping people with their health\u00a0via being educated about the many personal care\u00a0products on the market today.\u00a0 I feel that this will not only\u00a0bless and help my many beloved customers, but also will help myself and others who work in the industry who would like to enjoy a long healthy career without the negative affects of toxins in hair and skin care products that\u00a0we are around so\u00a0constantly.<\/p>\n
I will write more later about what some of these toxic\u00a0ingredients are and how we have prayed and\u00a0worked hard to find products to use and sell in our salon that do not contain them.<\/p>\n
I also have to mention how\u00a0happy I am\u00a0to say that both the aforementioned ladies still come to get their hair colored with me and,\u00a0with\u00a0the new cleaner\u00a0color line I am using, have absolutely no irritation or reaction.\u00a0 So grateful for this!<\/p>\n
Thanks so much\u00a0for taking the time to read.\u00a0 May you be blessed with a long and healthy life!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
