Hair Dye

[anniej55]

Hi All,

I was just glutened by my (new) shampoo. Now I'm just a little worried about my next hair dresser's appt. I have my natural color (HA) improved upon every 5 weeks (permanent dye). Is this a problem? Growing it out would be an absolute nightmare ....

And do I need to ask her about the products she uses, or is my accidental glutened because I lean over my sink and wash my hair as opposed to lying back and having her do it?

Thanks All

Ann

Hi Ann,

I stay away from gluten in all products I use at home - shampoo, etc. When I got it colored i didn't worry too much, as they washed it all out. I think I might check their shampoo/conditioner - but probably wouldn't stop them from using it if it had gluten (cause it all gets washed out presumably). I WOULD insist on checking products used that stay in the hair for styling and decline any gluten containing ones.

Since I now do my hair at home, I check all the ingredients on it. For the most part, if you or your stylist is using a major brand (clairol, etc) they are usually so chemically that gluten is not used. Beware though of "natural-y" labels as they like to stick oat ingredients and things that are derived from nature (gluten) into their products.

Go get yourself some gluten-free shampoo (Garnier Fructis is one) just to be safe
