Beginning in March I started experiencing the total body itchyness. I am gluten-free now both for foods and skin products. My only problem now is everytime I get my hair colored I have a week of itchyness.

Does anyone know of a hair coloring product [either used in a salon or over the counter] that is gluten-free? My hairdresser has asked her sales representative, but has found nothing. She is wonderful because her Grandmother is also a celiac so she understands the problem, but we can't find anything that works.

You could try henna. It won't lighten your hair, but can be used for shades of red and brown. It's a great conditioner (you can even get colorless henna just for conditioning) and is very easy on the hair. It's not permanent, however, and washes out naturally after about five weeks.

I believe, but am not positive, that Logics brand hair color is gluten-free. You should check to be sure. Kim.

Thanks. I'll pass that information on to my hair stylist.

My Wild Word from Wild Women calendar says: "The heck with the natural look. Where would Marilyn Monroe be if she'd clung to the hair color God gave her? We'd have a movie called "Gentlemen Prefer Mousy Brown Hair."

I just checked with my hair stylist, and she uses Logics, and it isn't gluten-free. If anyone else knows of anything please let me know! Thanks.
