So I tried just the clay wash today and it wasn’t good for my hair, just by itself. Firstly I mixed the water and clay and put it on in the shower with my scalp wet, and dunked the length of my hair in the mixture too. I massaged it all in well and rinsed it and it felt like it wasn’t squeaky clean. This is probably where the apple cider vinegar rinse probably would help that, but I just wanted test the clay by itself. I didn’t use any conditioner or anything else blow drying my hair took twice as long cause my hair felt so darned thick and heavy. When my hair finally reached almost dry it had so much static cling, which was not usual, and was awful. I do think that if I had curly hair and weren’t intending to blow dry it, the clay by itself could be really good for that type of hair. Next time I will apply the mixture on dry hair and then rinse it out and follow up with the vinegar rinse and see if that will work for my hair routine.

The UV light angle on this is interesting, the vitamin D generating devices use a UV light to create the reactions in the skin, so it brings into question the safety of these devices as well. In addition the maintenance of the lights also becomes a factor as over time the intensity of light emitted from these devices will diminish so there will possibly come a point where you are exposed to UV light but not at strengths high enough to generate vitamin D, so the risk benefit ratio moves high to the risk side.“Yet another common and "benign" cosmetic procedures has now been demonstrated to be actually quite dangerous. Prior studies have already demonstrated that hair dyes, makeup, botox, nail polish, and even essential oil therapy all have toxic side effects that in the long run can cause serious health issues, both locally and systemically. The study below now demonstrates that the widely used "gel" manicure procedure is cytotoxic, genotoxic, mitotoxic, and ultimately carcinogenic. More specifically, it was the UV-emitting devices, used to harden the manicures that caused all of these toxic effects, despite the brief exposure of the hands/fingers to the UV light. The toxicity of UV light to human skin cells has been known for decades, especially in cells abundant in PUFA, though nobody expected that UV light would display toxicity after even brief exposures (15-20 minutes). “

It is interesting that with all of the chemicals women use, in the name of beauty, that men, in general, have shorter lifespans.
I’ve been thinking about this too. All my female relatives on my dad’s side have/had beautiful hands and always wore nail polish. They colored their hair, and all probably swallowed pounds, literally pounds, of lipstick over a life time. The toxicity of externally applied treatments/cosmetics etc might be exaggerated.
Or maybe men’s bad habits of drinking, smoking and doing dangerous jobs and other activities are more to the reason. If all these chemicals cause cancer, it is interesting that all the woman I know that have died, it has been from cancer mostly, but not the men.
Conventional wisdom says that this is because men are less likely to see there Doctors regularly than women. So there is that possibility, but I am skeptical. @Rinse & rePeat
It's because we have to kiss the lips with all those toxic chemicals!
Ha! Ha! Ha! The kiss of death literally!
Oh yeah, no scare tactic Pap smears and radiation from mammograms, plastic surgery, botox, “fillers” and other snake oils and “preventative care”.
Yes, he did.
Lol.... You can always protect yourself and wear a mask. hahah.
RP talks about men declining from day one, where women’s decline starts at menopause, probably like you said from more progesterone, but RP says it is from less iron accumulation.
How romantic.
