Chemicals in beauty products

What are the chemicals and toxins we expose ourselves to daily doing to our bodies? Many of the beauty products such as hair, skin and body care and cosmetics as well as the food we eat contain well known carcinogens and are highly toxic. The daily dosage is fairly small but we still don’t know about the awaiting accumulative effects.

Extracts from Dangerous beauty, cosmetics and personal care by Peter Dingle & Toni Brown.
This book is an eye opening experience to what we are actually exposing ourselves on a daily basis.

"Slow poisoning (accumulation)

Slow or chronic posioning can occur in two main ways. The most obvious way is by the slow accumulation of chemicals in the body. And this is quite possible with shampoos. Although the body has an excretory system to metabolize and filter out unwanted toxins, the rate at which the body absorbs them is often faster than the rate at which they can be excreted. Accumulation continues until the concentrations in the blood are high enough to toxicity and severe injury."

 "The areas of greatest absorption are the scalp and other areas of body hair (because of the greater number and size of hair follicles), and areas of the body where the skin is thinner, such as the forehead, the insides of arms and thighs, the eyelids and eye area, the breasts and abdomen."

"Long term toxic effects of personal care products include blood and organ damage, damage to embryonic tissues and DNA, oestrogenicity, and carcinogenic effects."

Take care of yourself and learn more about what the products you use every day contain and the possible dangers of using them.

Care for your extensions

Look good in the best home made hair extensions. Long lasting result with proper care.

The first thought that comes to mind for most people when they think about taking proper care of hair extensions is how it is extremely difficult. This, however, is not the case. Taking proper care of your hair extensions is actually quite easy. There are a few easy things that you can do that will keep your hair extensions looking great for a long time.

The first thing that you should remember to do is to wait a few days before your wash your hair after you first get your hair extensions. The reason for this is that it takes a while for the extensions to completely bond to your hair and the act of washing your hair so soon after they are put into your hair can create issues with the hold. However, once this period of time is over you can wash your hair as often as you like.

Properly washing and conditioning your hair when you have hair extensions is vital to maintaining the look that you want. Because hair extensions are not growing like natural hair, they do not produce their own oils. As a result, it is necessary to use a quality leave in conditioner to keep the hair extensions looking vibrant and beautiful. Making sure that your hair extensions are properly moisturized and conditioned will lead to long lasting hair extensions.

Just because they need to be maintained does not mean you cannot do anything with your hair extensions. In fact, it is quite the contrary. As long as your hair extensions are maintained well, you can do just about anything with them. You can style them with different products, curl them, straighten them, or do anything that you want. Hair extensions can even be dyed if desired. Dying hair extensions, however, can be tricky because hair extensions and your natural hair may take dye differently which may result in a look that is undesired.

With proper maintenance and care, hair extensions can last a very long time. Maintaining hair extensions is not as difficult as is commonly thought, but it does require some time and effort on the part of the wearer. The result of caring for your hair extensions, however, is more than worth the small investment required in order to maintain them.  With the proper care, your hair extensions will continue to look great and provide the look that you intend for an extended period of time.
