Toxic Tangents

Conventional hair dyes can contain thousands of harsh chemicals. These toxicants sit on your scalp, which can increase the risk of absorbing these toxic chemicals. Long-term exposure to these chemicals has been linked to serious health concerns and infertility. We understand that hair coloring is a way to express yourself or a source of comfort as we age. Luckily, there are natural options for dyeing your hair without the use of harmful chemicals. Henna is a plant-based option that is rapidly growing in popularity. However, many people are still unaware of henna hair coloring. That’s why we’re so glad to chat on IG Live with Khadija Dawn Carryl, Founder of Henna Sooq. During this Live, we’re going to discuss henna for body art and hair dye, how some henna hair dyes can strengthen your hair, tips for applying henna hair color, and so much more!

You may recall hearing about electrons in an introductory science course in grade school. Electrons are particles with negative energy charges, and are essential for all living cells.

That’s why we are so excited to chat today with Carrie Bennett, a Clinical Nutritionist with research-backed expertise in hydration, fasting, anti-inflammatory diets, healthy light exposure, and detoxification.

Today we’re going to continue discussing self-care in the form of healthy breathing habits. Many of our followers are undergoing stress from trying to conceive, detoxing from toxic exposures, or just their everyday lives. A lot of people can help offset that stress by breathing through it. If you think about it, when we’re stressed, we bunch up our fingers, clench our jaws, and bring our shoulders up to our ears. All of this causes us to hold our breath and create even more tension. That’s why we’ve invited Stacy Cohen to our IG Live today. Stacy is a certified Oxygen Advantage Instructor, Buteyko Practitioner, Neurodynamic Breathwork Facilitator, Breathe for Change SEL Facilitator, and yoga teacher. Today, Stacy will discuss the importance of deep breathing and gives us some pointers on incorporating deep breathing techniques into our daily routines.
