Hair color

[Guest guest]

Lise - It's very common for babies to be born with bushy dark hair and then

have it turn blond in a few months. In fact, most blond kids I know had thick

dark hair at birth. The change from stright to frizzy, or the other way, is a

little unusual.

i too color my hair, have for years and i have psoriasis all over scalp and

around perimeter of face and sometimes it burns a little but love the results,

wont give it up

(Ed. Note: It seems pretty clear that the possibility of flaring the P on one's

scalp via (the chemistry of) coloring one's hair is a quite acceptable

risk--hell, maybe a necessary one. A line drawn in the sand. You Go, Girls. Good

for you.

hi,

i have pa for 8 years, always with scaly scalp. have never stopped

coloring, i have given up too much else, will not surrender to roots!

i use permanent color, usually a brand that is ammonia free. never

any problems if i keep in minimum amount of time. i still have grays,

but not roots. i tried a new kind, that works in 10 minutes, don't

remember brand. buuurrrrnnned.

that's my 2cents worth.

(Editor's Note: I love it: Your refusal to surrender... . Sounds like you're

aware of the potential problems, and able to keep them to a minimum.

I mean it, though; Good for you. The evidence indicates those of us who refuse

to surrender, who fight back, have the best prognoses.

Hint Hint ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have found that the least harsh to my hair, very kind, gentle to it, and does

not hurt my scalp at ALL........is only one brand.

Gardnier or Garnier (cant remember spelling). It has natural flower extracts in

it.

For those of you that color, of you have not tried that, I promies you, you will

be VERY pleased. No more dry brittle damaged hair or painful scalp. remember all

those tar shampoos KILL our poor hair.

I colored four months ago. Need to do again, I found a GRAY set of hairs

yesterday AM. AACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had not had gray in quite a LONG time.....

geesh....

I have colored my hair for years also. My hair is so baby fine, the color

process gives it body, etc. It also covers they grey, which stops some of the

un-usual questions of " Are you terminally ill " , etc. My hairdresser is one of

my best friends, so when my skin is bad, she uses something that helps the

scalp/skin not be so angry. I am on prednisone, and as most know, this drug

grows hair EVERWHERE, so my hair is longer than it ever has been. I actually

have

3 " to grow before I can donate it to " Locks of Love " .

Hmmm Should I go red or black or perhaps blond if that qualifies as

coloring? Orin

(Red wine may be added to the liquid to intensify the effect.) Allow hair to dry

naturally in the sun, if possible. Repeat the rinsing process with subsequent shampoos until you achieve the desired shade.

Use as a rinse after shampooing, finishing with a water rinse.
