Does Your Hair Look Blah?

Tired Of Dull, Lifeless Tresses?

Chances are, it’s that fancy hair conditioner that you are spending $14 a bottle for that has left your hair looking like Spanish moss rather than your crowning glory. Read the label of your current brand. Do you even know what most of the things are on that scary long list? I’m betting you don’t. Do you really want to pour unknown substances onto your scalp which is covered with pores that absorb everything that touches them? Of course not. That is, after all, the part of your skin that covers and protects your brain…a rather important organ!

The Truth Is…
The ingredients in your current hair conditioner may not only be not so great for your hair, they may be actual toxic poison. Here’s a short list of the bad guys, found in countless popular hair conditioners:

DEA, MEA & TEA
Causes kidney and liver cancer…what more need I say?

Formaldehyde
You may remember it from science lab in school. Formaldehyde is a preservative that quickly penetrates the skin and is incredibly carcinogenic (cancer causing). It also causes syndromes of the immune system such as Chronic Fatique Syndrome.

Isopropyl alcohol
A petroleum byproduct (as in car oil!) that is used in antifreeze and furniture polish.

Polyethylene glycol
Yet another petroleum byproduct. Used in oven cleaner (I’m not kidding!). Causes premature aging of the skin.

Propylene glycol
A synthetic petrochemical (car oil, again!). When factory workers deal with this stuff, they have to wear masks, gloves and goggles, but your hair conditioner company wants you to rub it right into your scalp. It’s known to the FDA to cause damage to your brain, kidneys and liver but the FDA continues to look the other way so that cosmetic corporations can keep using this great stuff in your hair conditioner.

Sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS)
Also known as Sodium laureth sulphate or SLES - actually makes your cells mutate. It damages and causes mutation of the brain, heart, liver and kidneys and, according to the American College of Toxicology, can cause mutations of children’s eyes. This product is so hard to avoid, but make every effort to do so.

Tea Tree Oil and Lavender
In themselves, natural substances derived from a plants. However, recent studies have found that Tea Tree Oil and Lavender Oil mimics the female hormone estrogen and overexposure to this for women and girls can have serious reproductive health side effects. Men and boys should also avoid Tea Tree Oil because of the estrogen which unbalances correct male hormones and can lead to disturbing, unwanted side effects.

There are numerous other toxic and carcinogenic ingredients in popular hair conditioners. The above is just a sample.

But if these substances are toxic, why do companies use them?
The answer is that these substances are cheap for manufacturers to buy. Many of them are the byproducts left over from the manufacture of a completely different product. For example, Fluoride is a byproduct that is scrubbed off the smokestacks of Phosphate factories in Florida. No one had any use for it until some genius decided it could be sold to toothpaste manufacturers as a marketable ingredient. As the story goes, Fluoride, once considered a useless toxic waste, was then billed to the public as a wonderful tooth-saving miracle. Don’t take my word for this. Research it for yourself. This is how a huge number of the ingredients wind up in cosmetics.

But that’s so wrong, isn’t it?
Yes. But remember…corporations, for the most part, care about making money…not about you.

But I want to look nice. Won’t my hair be hideous if I don’t buy Hair Conditioner?
The short answer here is no. Cats have beautiful silky, shiny hair and none of them use conditioner. The human body was designed to grow hair on it and no special treatment is required to maintain the hair in a physically healthy state.

The long answer, and the one I hope you’ll really like, is that I have a simple green hair tip that will make your hair shinier and nicer, without you absorbing toxic chemicals into your head or poisoning the water you drink! Yay!

The fact of the matter is, bad water and dirty air does take its toll on our hair and skin. Whether we live in the country or the city, our external selves are accosted by many irritants. If, in addition to this, you are pouring petro-chemicals and toxins onto your head, it’s little wonder you think of your hair as being some sick, unhappy entity that needs urgent, daily care.

THROW OUT YOUR COMMERCIAL CONDITIONER

GO TO THE STORE AND BUY A BOTTLE OF ORGANIC OLIVE OIL

What follows is the BEST GREEN HAIR CONDITIONER RECIPE EVER

Once a month, treat your hair to an all-natural, planet-friendly, human-friendly warm olive oil treatment that will make your hair super soft, super shiny and bouncing with life again.

Step 1) Depending upon the length of your hair, pour 2-5 Tablespoons of olive oil into a small glass.

Step 2) Fill a bowl with 2 inches of hot water.

Step 3) Set the bottom of the glass in the water and briskly stir the olive oil with a spoon until it becomes nice and warm to the touch.

Step 4) Wrap your shoulders in a towel and liberally work the olive oil all through your hair with your fingers.

Step 5) Sweep the towel up over your hair to cover it. Relax for five minutes…read a book, give your husband a kiss, look out the window at the birds.

Step 6) Take a shower and wash your hair twice to get out all of the olive oil. Let dry naturally…do NOT use a hair dryer.

Your hair will look nice the first day, but it’s the second day that you are likely to really notice how much fuller and livelier your hair has become. To me, it feels like my hair has suddenly sprung to new life.

Organic olives are full of good oils that moisturize both hair and skin. In fact, one of the benefits of this monthly treatment is softer hands!

You mean only use this green olive oil conditioner ONCE a month?
That’s what works for me. The media would have you believe that you must constantly be doing something to your hair, your skin, your toenails. It’s a nice lie that helps them make money. It doesn’t help you. Honestly, obsessing about your external appearance makes you vain and unhappy in the long run. Once a month seems like a good balance to me. It allows me to do something nice for myself, but doesn’t take up valuable time I could be spending doing something for somebody else.

But does this green hair conditioner really work?
I’ve had numerous strangers stop me on the street and in the supermarket to compliment me on my hair or ask what products I use. I’m not trying to sell you anything here, so you can take my word on that. People often look kind of taken aback when I don’t reel off the name off some famous brand. My hair is chestnut colored with a natural ripple in it, and it comes down about 8 inches below my hips. I try not to be vain, but I’m proud of it, and I firmly believe folks take notice of it because it has been let to grow long and luxurious naturally…without chemicals, dyes or other weird additives. The opinions of people I don’t know have never meant much to me, but when my husband likens my hair to a shimmering cascade, I certainly do feel pleased.

In the past, nearly all women had long, natural hair. It’s only post-war humans who have come to look upon hair as some sort of problem or terrible issue that must constantly be grappled with. Give yourself a break from this needless, media-induced worry. Give your hair a break from the chemicals. Try my green olive oil hair conditioner for a happier you and a happier planet.
