OT: heavy metals in hair color products?

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the comments about suncreen -- that Badger brand looks

great! -- but now I have to wonder about hair color... I googled it and

didn't see much in the way of alerts about heavy metals in hair dyes

but thought I'd put it by you experts.

Should I be asking these sorts of questions on another group? Maybe

this is just for the chelation treatment?)

Thanks!

---------Yes it does, and the company sounds great also, to work for, etc. I

had never heard of them before either, and checked them out last

night.----------Jackie

---------I don't dye my hair, so don't know much about them, but on page 74 of

HTI, Andy says that *lead* is used in Grecian Formula, so I guess it could be in

other hair coloring agents as well. So I guess I'd look.----------Jackie

-----------Yes, FDC is supposed to be just for people following Cutler's

protocol, and should try to stay more on topic with that. If you do post

something like this, mark it as OT, or post it on Adult Metal, which is a more

open forum.---------Jackie

Thanks!

Hi Robin,

I'm into the natural stuff, so I went without coloring because of the

chemicals (they're not good for you, period). So, I happen to be bored one day

and googled natural hair dye, and voila! there was a recipe for natural hair

color.

I have a natural dark auburn hair color with red highlights. This will work

for you if you have natural brown color: 1/2 sage leaves with two cups of

water. Let simmer on stove for 30 minutes, then turn off heat and let steep for

several hours or overnight. Apply to hair, leaving on for as long as you like

(I sit at the computer with it on for a couple of hours). Rinse out.

You can do this once a week until you obtain the desired shade. Then once a

month to maintain the haircolor. I've just started using it, but they claim it

will match your hair color, i.e., it should bring out the red highlights

eventually.

Hope this is helpful.

Best,

Robyn, with a " y "

thanks for sharing , 1/2 cup of sage leaves then? you buy that at the

health store? and it only works in you have brown hair, do you think

dark brown hair? You have to do it weekly? I buy a semi-healthy one

form the health store at , no aluminum and something else, cant

recall. It does have some chemicals, needs to bind to hair but its

better than reg hair colors. Also remember lots of makeup contain

mercury esp eye pencils, lead and tons of other garbage. I will def

try the sage leaves.
