Nina,

I definitely had increased mercury symptoms after having my hair colored with even just a wash-out color from the beauty shop. I don't know what was in it, but I finally made the correlation the last 2 times I had my hair colored. No more.

Instead, I purchased a product at the health food store called NaturTint. I've only tried it twice, but I don't think I experienced any problems with it (sometimes I'm so busy that I forget to make a mental note of things like this).

Not only do I have bad reactions to hair dyes, but also a lot of "salon-type" shampoos and conditioners. Now, all I use is strictly "all-natural" products from the health food store or from NSP...they have a great shampoo and conditioner!
