i find many of these ingredients in organic shampoos & soaps so I’m assuming that this will not only do no damage but may actually be healthy for my hair.
or am i wrong? is this healthy for my hair?
and when I’m lightening my hair, i don’t want to go out into the sun. I have a naturally tan completion & my skin is exactly the way i want it to be, i hate the sun in my eyes, the bugs, & all the fresh air! eeewww! hehe
do you think i’ll be just as successful with a bright lamp?
when you write in lemon juice, you usually just put it under a lamp to see it
and if i can use a lamp, should i use the squiggly bulbs or the not so healthy for the planet bulbs?
I also heard you can dye your hair with henna
could you give me links on how to do that?
