The bathtub's purple. The shower curtain and bath mats are purple. Ditto the toilet seat cover and our hands. Fortunately, we got the kittens out of the way before they were purpled. And even more fortunately, Shay's face is no longer purple. Sadly, his hair, the one thing that was supposed to be dyed purple, isn't, or at least isn't much (compared to everything else that is).
Today's hopefully helpful hint: toothpaste removes hair dye from skin, at least sometimes.
What, you may ask, does any of this have to do with health? (Shay already asked me that when I asked him if he'd mind if I posted about this - and attached the photo.) Maybe nothing. Maybe everything. But when we spent the hour making this mess and cleaning up this mess, laughing, I felt we were on to some good health mojo.
Which is really quite good considering how many really toxic chemicals have to be in this hair dye to make it adhere so amazingly to everything (except hair). I advocate for clean living: healthy food, Tom's toothpaste, organic wine - but I also believe in flexibility. I'd told Shay this would be a one-shot deal - he could dye his hair with a toxic product exactly once.
Fortunately, he agrees.
