Is hair dye safe?

I don't think so!  It's been discussing about this issue since I was a little child that this stuff is carcinogenic.  People just seems to have no choice other than let their hair turn grey but put the danger of getting cancer somewhere in the body to the back of their mind.  Hey self esteem is just as important!  Afterall not everybody get cancer this way.  This is not true! 

I have a patient in her late 20's who dye her hair brown, gold, all sorts of different color for many years.  After not seeing her for awhile, she looked ghostly with deep seated eyes and loss a lot of weight.  She complained of pain deep inside her eye and general malaise. Doctors were not able to find out what's wrong with her after a lot of investigation.

Retrospect I suspect it is her habit of frequent dye hair that predispose to her condition.  Just imagine your whole scalp profusely absorb this chemical every 2-3 weeks.  You might say it is not something you ingest, not so detrimental.  Yes, it won't make you die right away, but the chemical would absorb into your body, through your blood stream....but some of it would enter your brain, your eyes, your ears....

Is it the reason people get Alzemer's, Parkinsonism?  Who knows?

So young girls and boys, don't dye your hair for fun thought that it is just trendy, thought that it is just hair that it won't do any harm to your system.  It has a lot of hidden long term side effect you didn't realized.  

OK come back to the issue- if you start to notice white hair, what should you do?
Pluck it? Dye it with commercial product? Hide it with a wig? 

1. Pluck it?  
Never never never do that!  Though it seems the fastest way.  Afterall it is hair, it will always grow back.  And it is unwanted hair, who cares?  OK let me ask you- what would you prefer? 
A full head of unwanted grey hair that makes you look old or thin scanty hair that makes you look sick?

2. Dye it with commercial products
As discussed earlier, again no, no.

3. Cover with a wig?
One thing, it looks very un-natural. Secondly, the way you fixed it would pull onto your healthy hair putting undue stress on them and the cover up render your own hair lack of air to breathe, and no sunshine.  



Now if I tell you there is a totally natural product which I used to condition my hair to make them strong and shiny and at the same time turn the white hair dark?  Would you believe?

To be cont......


What to do when your hair turns white?

This is a lady in her early 60's in San Francisco, very unhappy about her deep wrinkles and scanty hair.  But surprisingly after 1 hour of Microcurrent Regeneration therapy of Non surgical facelift and hair Regrowth therapy to stimulate the hair follicles, her wrinkles gone, her hair looks much volume and strong, hey, all her white hair disappeared!

But is it a treatment worth to have if the whole head of hair has turn white?  

I don't quite agree, because there are a lot of methods much more economical and faster than this procedure.  I mean in turning your hair from white to dark color.

Of course, if you want a completely natural non invasive way to make yourself look 10-20 years younger or you want a full head of strong shiny healthy looking hair, this is certainly you are after
