Hair is a great opportunity to be more environmentally friendly. For the past few months I have had my hair dyed in various shades of red and bleached. Going back to my natural hair color, although it uses chemicals once again that will go down the drain, will allow me to stop having to dye my roots and redye my hair color that has faded. Not only will this be better for my hair but I will be one less person contributing to leaching of chemicals down the drain (and into our water tables!)
A few other ways tips when it comes to hair:
- use shampoo with too many chemicals-try using natural ingredients like baking soda/water or organic shampoos
- don't wash your hair every day-not only will this help your hair stay strong and retain the proteins it has built up, but you will use less water in the shower
- towel dry/air dry your hair as much as possible-this will save on electricity (from dryer/straightener) and keep your hair from getting fried/split ends
