March Hair

I, and much of my family, are in need of haircuts.  It's spring, that time again.  I've been learning about natural beauty products more lately and the things in or not in the hair care stuff we use.

Biotin - great for hair, but can't be absorbed by the shaft, so don't be fooled.
Sudsy - detergents, bad for hair, bad for body, but we're so accustomed to the feeling of lather that our "experience" is incomplete without it.  This is something we just need to overcome I guess. :)
Chemicals - there's a lot of hype about shampoos, toothpastes, creams, causing cancer, in reality, according to the ACS (American Cancer Society) our risk of getting cancer in our lifetimes hasn't increased that much in the past 20 years, which is what a lot of sites and emails would have you believe.  Cancer has always been around, fight it with exercise, fruits and veggies, whole grains, and faith.

That being said, our hair needs care to look good.  Our thyroids need balancing, our body need vitamins, and we need to not stand too long in really hot showers.

I'm off to luke-warm myself - later!
