Hair gurus get requests ALL DAY LONG: 1 want my hair to be more flattering, easy to manage. I want it to fit my life style, to make me look younger, funnier, thinner. And, I want it to be organic. Organic is good - right? You can do it, can't you?
From demands by Princess Kate, to Jessica Alba to Tina Fey and even the now pregnant Snooki, the glamour industry is answering the questions: What is organic all about - really? And, why isn't everything organic?
Let's answer the second question first. Why isn't everything organic? Well, the manufacturers would have to reveal that the ingredients in their earlier products were harmful, i.e. skin allergies, itching, burning, and staining. And it would be expensive to reformulate and change the manufacturing process. Why change anything sooner than you have to? After all, the public has been accepting hair color "irritations" for a long, long time. We have accepted it as the cost of beauty.
What is organic all about - really? For a hair product to be labeled "organic" it must be free of ammonia, resorcinol or parabens, all chemicals associated with the risk of cancer. Organic products must be produced without genetic engineering, ionizing radiation, or sewage sludge. Don't know about you, but I don't want sewage sludge in my hair products.
We all have lots of beauty products on hand at home and have trusted our salon stylists when products are used in our hair services, but do we know what is in these products? Do we understand what all those ingredients are, what they mean? What is PEG-9 Lauryl Polydimethylsiloxyethyl anyway?
What I have discovered is that "organic" has become a marketing term and may not mean anything in reality. Products labeled "organic" may still have cancer-related ingredients; such as, PEG's (Polyethylene Glycol), PEG-2 (Soy amine), PEG-2 Cocamine, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, and PEG-9 Lauryl Polydimethylsiloxyethyl, and PEG-10 Rapeseed Steryol. PEG's are not good.
And, it's not just the ingredients that come in contact with your skin. The ingredients evaporate and become part of the air you breathe. You are now taking a chemical soup into your body with each breath. What about your baby, grabbing your hair as you play together? They are now receiving in the harmful elements. And, what about when your sweetie gives you a hug and strokes your hair? They too are taking in the harmful elements through touching your hair. Is this how you want to treat yourself and your loved ones?
