Gluten in hair products?

oh so it seems in my absence I have found something out. Something strange and rather annoying.

I've just moved up to LA for six weeks to work on my internship with Sony Pictures Entertainment TV under the VP of Media relations and Promotion. (phew! that's a lot to say) I have to find some nice "work" clothes so I went to the Glendale Galleria with my friend. After spending too much money on clothes I decide to walk into the Aveda store because I need some new hair product for my curly side. I stroll in and the sales woman offers me some tea (it was DELICIOUS) and asks how she can help me. I tell her i'm looking for something to help with my curls and she leads me to the correct section. She then begins to tell me about their best selling product




















Be Curly Enhancer.

She tells me how wonderfully it works because of this little extra ingredient.

Oh? "what could that be?" I ponder.

Wheat Protein


the moment she says the words, my face drops. I let her continue her spiel and then politely inform her I am "Allergic" to wheat. i didn't really feel like explaining the whole gluten thing

Her face then drops as she informs me that pretty much everyone of their curly products contains that wheat protein. when I say pretty much, i really mean every product.

Granted, I'm not sure if this means it has gluten in it, but i've trained myself to head for the hills when I see the word wheat.

stupid oats and wheat. they ruin every good beauty product!!

I had to stop going to Aveda salons! So sad. They don't have any alternatives. Ugh.

I had read that only INGESTED gluten was a concern.

An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment.
I do believe that you need to write more about this subject matter, it might not be a taboo matter but typically people do not speak about these topics.
To the next! Kind regards!!

First off I wаnt tо saу supеrb blog!
Ӏ had а quick question in ωhich Ι'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing. I have had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Appreciate it!
