Toxic hair dyes?

Edward Green said:I mean, honestly... how smart is it really to be slathering citric acid all over your head? 😁

E330 !!!! kancerogen !!! Dangerous as hell!!!!

It’s basically like inviting a few different types of cancer to move in at once...

Edward Green said:Yeah, and honestly, the worst part is that even the people skipping deodorant and bras entirely are gonna kick the bucket too.

tough luck.

but hey, at least we won't be stinking up the place while we're still breathing, so I'll take that win.

😁
The best part about all those "natural" types who refuse to use deodorant is that they’ll probably check out way sooner anyway, because let's face it, life expectancy isn't exactly hitting 40 years in Africa like it is when you're living in a polluted corner of Europe where everyone's coasting toward 75.🤔 😁

Like, it causes multiple types of cancer all at once... I guess.

🤣

but honestly, this whole thing with Hennaplus is a much bigger mess.😬

Why's that?
Is it just not looking natural, or is the color not sticking?

not the color;

and Brandon Thomas89 pretty much nailed it.

Edward Green said:Honestly, I have to wonder how smart they think they are—putting citric acid directly on your hair... seriously? 😁

You only need a tiny splash of lemon juice for this—and don't go overboard, either. You can get away with doing this every week or two, but seriously, don't overdo it. At the end of the day, it’s still a hell of a lot healthier than those chemical-heavy boxed dyes you pick up at the drugstore.

So, someone's out here claiming it's fine to just slap lemon juice in your hair every seven days? 🤔

I’ve gotta say, I’d much rather dump some Palette on my hair than deal with citric acid. 😁

Amy Rogers2 said:Either way, it's definitely a healthier choice than those store-bought hair dyes.

But honestly, 😬
what am I supposed to do about my white blonde hair?
I don't want it turning brassy from using lemon juice!

hold on. 😬

I guess I’ve just been 😬 totally obsessed with smiley faces since this afternoon.

I’m thinking we start a thread here for daily check-ins. Just a way to see if everyone’s still upright and holding up.

I totally lost it this past Monday
😬

It’s been 19 days straight of me dyeing my hair!
Honestly, I'm such a goofball—I guess I just love the color 👍

So, since I’ve got three generations of hairstylists in my family, I guess I'm coming at this from a different angle.

You only add a tiny splash of lemon juice to chamomile tea for that purpose, so there’s really nothing to worry about. I actually went ahead and double-checked with my pharmacist because, honestly, I wasn't entirely sure myself if it was okay.

Look, I’m a hairstylist, so let me give you the real talk on this. There are plenty of toxins and nasty stuff out there in the world, but if hair dye were actually as kancerogen !!! as people claim, 90% of women would have been gone by now...

Maybe the trick is just not eating the dye...

The truth is, all those toxic products eventually take their toll. Those nasty ingredients soak right through your skin and hit your bloodstream within minutes—they just build up in your system over time, which is how you end up dealing with various health issues, including stuff that's kancerogen !!!.

By that logic, even a greasy burger from Five Guys is kancerogen !!! because it slowly poisons your system. Cigarettes are bad, sure, and honestly, even the air we breathe can be sketchy. That’s exactly why our bodies have immune systems, antioxidants, and all those other built-in defense mechanisms to fight back. It's really just about not overdoing it.

And who’s going to prove to me that "healthy, organic" food isn't also kancerogen !!!? A colleague at my office passed away from cancer just last month. She was diagnosed and gone within two months. She was an athlete, a total vegetarian, never touched a cigarette or a drink—literally lived on nothing but natural stuff. 😕
