Day 2 - Salons are not eco friendly

So today I was at the hair salon, for 3 1/2 hours. I had my hair streaked two different colors and a brass tone added overall. There was so much tin foil on my head it made me wonder about the Alcan workers in Kidimat BC. Are they happy that their work is used for such frivolous things as hair colour? Or dose it disgust them?

I mean after all more work for them is being generated but it is a dangerous job.

I casually ask my colourist about recycling the tin some how.. they have no idea to go about it. This could be a great new business to start... recycling hair salon tin foil...ummm...not for me.

After I get my hair colored I wait for the girl to cut my hair, she is still about 30 min away from being done on her last job. She dose not wanting to let me know the weight time, or wait in vain, she tells me that I need to have my hair blow dried curly so that she can cut it curly. Insidently I have never been told this in my life. This is a big waist of electricity. As I was needing to have a photo taken with my hair straight after she cut my hair (and she knew) so she straightened it then she ended up cutting it some more... damaging and wasteful.

To top it off when I mentioned to her my goal for the next two months she told me of a dry hair shampoo that might be great for me. It donates $2 from the sale to some charity earth thing.. I was not really paying attention cause it comes in an aerosole spray can. How can a company in this day and age justify that is ok...and how can people eat that up?

New project...to make my hair products more green...yah more research.
