Do You Feel Safe Coloring Your Hair


Moongirl

I started this as another question in the product forum.

I am going to get my hair done at my salon for the first time since my DX. I need to get it toned down, its a semi permanent color. And it does have a wheat protein, a few places/people i asked said that they get their hair colored all the time at the salon with no ill effect. (with the wheat in the product)

My question is would you feel safe doing it?

Im not quite sure how the color works, would the wheat protein wash off when they rinse the color?

I feel pretty safe, although when it comes to getting my hair done, I think my vanity outweighs my safety.

Last time I got my hair colored, I seemed to be ok. I go to an Aveda salon.

I'm with ChelsE! I have my hair colored and just don't ask questions.....if it does have wheat in it, then I'd just be paranoid and getting my hair colored! :lol: Vanity before comfort.....I wear uncomfortable shoes for that conviction....might as well risk CC once every 6 weeks too! :D

I am someone who is very concerned about this, especially with a semipermanent color that rinses out a bit at a time. I will get a rash and my hair falls out from this sort of thing so I use a verified gluten free product at home when I color. The last time I used Loreal colorspa. I believe a couple of their others are safe but a couple are not. I check with everything. Not worth the risk of long term CC as it rinses out for me.

You get a rash?? Do you have a skin reaction to wheat maybe? In your case i would be cautious, but ive never had a problem with color before. so im kinda torn as to what to do???

I don't know if my color is gluten-free or not, but I haven't had a reaction. I do get a rash on my scalp if I use a shampoo with wheat in it; I don't really know why as I thought we had to ingest the gluten for a reaction.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      For my Vit D3 deficiency it was recommended to take with Vit K2 (MK7) with the Vit D. The Vit K2 helps absorption of Vit D3. Fat also helps with absorption. I take Micro Ingredients Vit D3 5000 IU with Vit K2 100 micrograms (as menaquinone:MK-7). Comes in soft gels with coconut oil.  Gluten free but not certified gluten free. Soy free, GMO free.

      @Known1, I submitted the following comment along with my contact information: "I have noticed that many food companies voluntarily include information in their ingredient/allergen label section when the product is made in an environment where cross contamination with any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA may also be likely. Even though celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are, technically speaking, not allergic responses, it would seem, nonetheless, appropriate to include "gluten" in that list for the present purpose. That would insure that food companies would be consistent with including this information in labeling. Best estimates are that 1% of the general population, many undiagnosed of course, have celiac disease and more than that are gluten sensitive."

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1
