Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I've been doing hair for almost 25 years. I'm on 20mg of HC and am getting my hair highlighted tomorrow, which I have done before while on HC. I've never had any problems.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I forgot to mention that 1 1/2 years ago I had a allergic reaction to Loreal hair coloring. Got physically sick for an entire day. Also had food allergies at the time. The food allergies are not bothersome anymore however, I know that anything that gets on your scalp gets into your blood. I assume the same is true of anything on your hair. Seems like it would be stressful on your adrenals if they are weak.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Can you start the highlight about 1/4 " past the scalp growth that way you won't have any solution on the scalp at all? I never get color on my scalp when I do my hair. I do it it strips. Cheri Re: Highlighting Hair I forgot to mention that 1 1/2 years ago I had a allergic reaction to Loreal hair coloring.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I had to quit coloring my hair with any kind of permanent color. I would be wiped out for several days afterward if I used it. Linn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Darker colors, but not real dark, sort of a golden brown color. I have chemical sensitivities which I found out a few months ago were linked to candida. I've been on a low carb diet for about 30 years, I've had hypoglycemia since I was a kid. I didn't have all the usual candida symptoms, so didn't really realize it, until I had some testing done. Starting addressing the candida and the chemical sensitivities have gotten much better. I screwed up a couple of months ago and bought the wrong kind of hair color (permanent) and thought since I had been feeling so much better lately that it wouldn't matter, but it did. I can get away with using the kind that washes out in 6-8 shampoos but nothing else. I'm switching to the natural tints now.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I never noticed it until after my adrenal crash. Since treating the candida, I can walk down the detergent aisle in the grocery store again without getting overwhelmed. I used to be able to tell when I was 2 or 3 aisles away and couldn't actually walk all the way through the detergent aisle. Linn > > Linn, > That is just an amazing story.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Hi lighting or bleach is of no consequence to your system....They burn your scalp/skin so maybe the stress of that burn might affect you. Hi lighting however never touches skin. it is the blacks, dark browns they enter you system through your scalp/skin as it is impossible not to have it touch your skin. There used to be coal tar and something I can't remember in these dark colors. And yes they are harmful. . -- Re: Highlighting Hair I've been doing hair for almost 25 years.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 It doesn't effect me at all. I get highlights done every 3 months, and have said to be in stage 4 or 5 AF. > >I'm considering having my hair highlighted with the foil and of course, bleach.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I can't walk down the candle aisle, and around the craft area in any store where they sell dried eucalyptus, etc. is very uncomfortable. Feels like it shuts off my breathing. sol mwm1glm wrote: > I never noticed it until after my adrenal crash.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hey give yourself a few years! I used to dye my hair lighter all the time as when I hit the 30's my natural hair color darkened so much I hated it, so I wanted back the blonde highlighted red hair of my youth.. Now I stopped dying it as i have the prettiest silver laced red hair with NATURAL white streaking! LOL It is really pretty! And to think others pay so much money to have these streak jops done...

Smells bother me so much it's unreal. I can't go near the candle aisle, or the soap aisle, or cosmetic counters in department stores, and I often have to leave places because somebody's cologne is making me sick. Lysol and most air freshener smells give me migraines, as do nearly every perfume on the planet. But strangely, hair color odors don't bug me much. I wonder why. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Is this related to adrenals and/or thyroid? I have the same experiences. There are shops I cannot go into at all. And I've had to leave grocery checkout lines because of scents on people in line ahead of or behind me. I've had to go to the other end of the store to get away from certain " scented " people. I use mainly odorless things for cleaning. Baking soda, peroxide, etc. And I have a Vaporetto for serious cleaning. I uesd to use a lot of white vinegar, but the smell of that bothers me, too, so have cut back on that. The wet dirt smell when rain starts makes me gasp for breath, and hurts my chest/lungs/throat. That is the worst for me--feel like I'm suffocating. sol bigeyes1962 wrote: > Smells bother me so much it's unreal.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Yes! Or you have to change seats at an event, or leave. It kills me that they make laws about smoking, but any stinky toxic cr@p anyone wants to bathe in can assault me at any time in public places. Often in elevators or stores someone's cologne is hanging in the air and they're long gone! I don't understand why these things aren't regulated in the same way when research shows the chemicals in colognes and perfumes are toxic. It doesn't make sense. I'm pretty sure that I could cheerfully strangle Calvin Klein and if I could get a jury of similarly afflicted folks I would skate on the charges and possibly get a medal. God, do I hate *Obsession!* Smells like bug spray and makes me ill, and apparently the sprayer only comes with a *douse* setting. (retch) That awful *Giorgio* is a close second. I'm so grateful that one is no longer popular! Now if I could just find a way to make the *Axe *factory shut down....... 8) > Is this related to adrenals and/or thyroid?

I used to pass out at my desk for a couple of hours every afternoon because a secretary on the floor below would douse herself in stinky perfume every lunchtime. No matter how I tried to make my room stink-proof, the miasma would creep in and knock me out. Course, it may have been my lifelong pm adrenal crash hitting too, but on the days she was off, it wasn't half so bad. And there was NOTHING I could do about it. That was one of the factors that led me to throw in the towel and leave. I often long to be working again, but seriously doubt I could manage to work with people, for this reason. Among others.

The receptionist had bathed in some heavy floral stuff that gave me a migraine at check-in. When I complained to the doc he told me he had talked to her about it before! To me that would be an offense worthy of a day off if I were treating migraine patients in a scent free office, but apparently he thought it only earned a verbal warning for the second or third offense. I guess* he* doesn't get headaches. I have a different headache doc now who I like much better. 8) > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Chemical sensitivities can be caused by candida. That seems to be what it was linked to for me.
