Grey hair?

[ricitosdeplata]

My hair has never been curlier since I started using baking soda to wash my hair. Have been doing this for 3 weeks and since I don't have oily hair, this was not a problem. I did notice that my grey hair was turning slightly yellow. I used blue sugar, the type used for decorating cakes and cookies, to scrub my hair after using BS. Now my hair is back to its silver. Didn't use apple cider vinegar this time. Since the ACV i use is unfiltered, I'm going to see if using the clearer vinegar that rises to the top will help avoid the yellowing,since I have 2 full bottles of the ACV. Has anyone out there used anything else to diminish the yellowing? If this doesn't work will try white vinegar like someone else mentioned on the blogh. Would mashed up blueberries be too way out there?

Been eating 100% Raw for two months. Lost 34 lbs so far.
My BP is down from 190/140 to 135/82 and I have twice the energy I had before.
So far its been great, but I have a few problems.

1. My prostate has enlarged and its hard to completely empty my blatter.

2. My weight loss has stopped at 183 for the last two weeks. This may be because I've got hooked on soy Chia tea at Starbucks (3-4 a day). I've given up alcohol, coffee and diet coke 3 months ago and now all cooked foods .

Since I've given up everything I like except sex, my body needs something to enjoy.
Any suggestions

Hey Glenn, I think you may have posted this in the wrong area -- this particular thread is all about the ups and downs of having gray hair.

With that in mind, today I heard the "green smoothie girl" mention that she has been making sure she gets some spinach in every day (via green smoothie) and her gray has disappeared. Something about the lutin in the spinach. Check out her you tube 2nd take on making a green smoothie.

I have no idea if there is any valid reason to this, but it would be easy to try on oneself. Think I'm buying some spinach tomorrow, as I'd love to have all of my well earned gray hairs revert back to their orginal color.

when i first went raw a number of years back my hair changed:

the color seemed 'richer' and the grey went away. at the time my father-in-law asked me if I was coloring my hair and didn't believe me went i said i wasn't.

the texture of my hair got fuller and thicker. i have very fine hair and it's thinning on top. it appeared to be filling in a bit and was most certainly thicker.

i don't know the science behind it....but I sure liked the results!

I'm back to raw vegan after a prolonged abscence and i hope to see those results again!

I started to turn grey when I was 13. I am now 33. It is in my eyebrows, hair, everywhere. I dont mind. It is who I am

If you are interested in dying your hair minus the nasty chemicals- the store LUSH has henna that is easy to use and you can order it online. I use it becasue I am 28 and sarted getting silver hair a year ago- and in my job it isnt really ok!

that being said- i have read numerous times that upping your consumption of seaweed can assist in filling mineral deficiencies that may be one of the reasons for grey hair. I just started eating more of it recently so i will see what happens

I've been calico for years, quite naturally. Dark brown to blonde to silver. I don't really want a color change, but I wouldn't mind if it got a thicker. :)
I am transitioning into a raw diet - about 60% now. Lots of raw greens and other vegs. I still like brown rice and like my lentils lightly cooked.

Metta!
