I think that even though there isn't solid evidence that parabens cause cancer, it would be better to be safe than sorry.


Answer
Don't worry about all that icky stuff. I buy the cheapest shampoo - Garnier for Normal Hair.

It's what you eat, and how you style your hair that will damage your hair or not grow normally.

The FDA believes that in low concentrations (up to 25%) parabens are safe for topical use. Most cosmetics have a concentration of 0.3% paraben or lower. In addition, studies on mice, guinea pigs and humans have shown that parabens do not remain in the body but exit rapidly in your urine (example: âSafety Assessment of Propyl Parabenâ Food and Chemical Toxicology 2001). This means that they are not building up in your system but are moving through and out of your body.

Parabens are known endocrine disrupters that are not only detrimental to human health, but also destructive to animal hormones and development. Studies have found higher levels of parabens in tumors from human breast tissue, but, because the potential damage to the endocrine system has yet to be proven, the controversy surrounding the toxicity of parabens is still being debated.

Women in the study with highest concentrations of these chemicals, called phthalates, in their bodies were more likely to have diabetes than women with lowest concentrations, the researchers said.
Phthalates are found in a variety of products, including nail polish, hair sprays, soaps and shampoos. The findings suggest that phthalates could disrupt blood sugar metabolism, said study researcher Tamarra James-Todd, of Brigham and Women's Hospital's Division of Women's Health.

Phthalates are present in certain medications and medical devices, and its possible women with diabetes have higher phthalate concentrations in their bodies due to the use of these medications or devices, James-Todd said.
James-Todd and colleagues analyzed information from 2,350 women ages 20 to 80 who took part in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 2001 and 2008. As part of the survey, participants underwent physical exams and provided urine samples.

HEAT & CHEMICALS are hair's worst enemies. People violate those 2 together, Relaxers and anti-aging or skin lightening products both contain ingredients causing cancers like formaldehyde or
Hydroquinone. There are many ingredients, that we BUY EVERYDAY, to avoid to keep us all healthier. Henna, the more natural way to dye hair, ALSO contains chemicals.
Examples all the fresh fruits & vegetables are full of toxic. UNHEALTHY FOODS: 10 Dirty Fruits & Vegetables. For beauty products go to cosmetics info dot org.

But avoiding everything, we won't have a life would we?

Everyone is preaching buy organics. But Google organics, they are confusing, too! Gives me headache every time I read something, but people keep buying supplements which are being shipped from China, that are also causing us health problems. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesnât have to approve supplements â no agency in the United States does. Because of inadequate quality control and inspection, supplements contaminated with heavy metals, pesticides, or prescription drugs have been sold to unsuspecting consumers. And FDA rules covering manufacturing quality donât apply to the companies that supply herbs, vitamins, and other raw ingredients. One example GREEN TEA: Green tea extract supplements have been linked to several cases of liver damage. Green tea extracts might make liver disease worse.
Beginning in February 2008, they experienced one symptom after another: diarrhea, joint pain, HAIR LOSS, lung problems, and fingernails and toenails that fell off. FDA has received numerous reports of harm associated with the use of these products, including stroke, liver injury, kidney failure, heart palpitations, and death. 3-15-11.

Natural hair means no relaxer, no chemical to straighten your hair out, no styling heating tools. The way it grows out your root, thatâs the way you rock it.

how much does it cost to go to paul mitchell the school?




kacy


i'm wanting to start this coming up fall and was wondering how much it would cost a year?
and is there financial aid?



Answer
Call the school.

BTW: I would never use Paul Mitchell again! I was a model for one of their shows and I was given shampoo samples. I tried it once, it smelled so good! I left it on my tub, and I didn't use it again. But when I went to clean my tub, I lifted up the bottle and there was a ring around the bottom of the bottle. I couldn't clean the stain, it was hard to clean. I thought, if that's what it does to my tub, then I don't want it for my hair! Shampoos are meant to clean, not stain my hair or tub. That was in the '90's.

Many beauty & hair products now have LABEL INGREDIENTS and DISCLAIMERS, specially makeup, they are required to put labels so consumers are aware to watch for chemicals: DBP, TITANIUM, MERCURY, HYDROQUINONE, FORMALDEHYDE, or Toluene solvent, that causes cancer or harm us. In other words, less is MORE.

Women in the study with highest concentrations of these chemicals, called phthalates, in their bodies were more likely to have diabetes than women with lowest concentrations, the researchers said.
Phthalates are found in a variety of products, including nail polish, hair sprays, soaps and shampoos. The findings suggest that phthalates could disrupt blood sugar metabolism, said study researcher Tamarra James-Todd, of Brigham and Women's Hospital's Division of Women's Health.
