Many consumers have swapped out their harmful cleaning products and switched to natural items to clean their homes. They stopped wasting water, recycle when possible and eat only healthy, organic foods. Why? Because these things are necessary for good health and for a healthy planet. It is impossible to avoid leaving any footprint behind or to avoid exposing the body to all toxins, but there is more that people can do about both and it does not mean sacrificing anything.
What many people never consider is the impact on their health and the environment due to their hair care choices. The media made many people aware of the dangers of CFCs in hairspray decades ago. This resulted in changes to the industry that gave consumers the option to purchase more environmentally safe hair spray. However, the rest of the beauty industry was largely ignored while this happened. Lula Ruby Salon is not ignoring it any longer.
Organic hair products provide a safer experience for individuals with allergies and asthma. People are much less likely to experience reactions with chemical-free products. This includes fewer respiratory issues as well as less irritation to their skin. Many traditional shampoos and hair styling products contain known carcinogens. They have ingredients that cause skin irritation even in people without any known allergies or sensitivities. In comparison, organic products do not have these dangerous products and are safe to use even during pregnancy.
Lula Ruby Salon also knows that all products must come out of the hair at some point. All of the chemicals they contain are washed out of the hair and down the drain. This puts them into the environment where they can cause great harm. Despite modern sewage treatment, it is still common for chemicals to make it through the entire process and filter into the soil and end up in public water supplies, lakes and rivers and the oceans. For example, P-phenylenediamine, a common ingredient in hair color is known to alter the behavior of fish, kill some species of fish and destroy plankton.
Avoiding these events and protecting the body does not mean giving up a favorite hairstyle or no longer enjoying a day at the salon. No one has to choose between safety or luxury. Visit to see how they are making it possible to have great hair and still use safe, organic products.
