Luscious Locks

Luscious Locks

Every day, our hair is exposed to metal, including lead, copper, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic. Pollutants in the air, hair products and cookware we use, certain foods, our local water, and even drinking from aluminum cans can cause metal to accumulate over time and cause damage, hindering natural hair growth and vitality.

Metals such as lead and copper can disrupt the natural growth cycle, leading to hair loss and thinning. These metals can weaken the hair shaft, causing it to become brittle and prone to breakage. And, the presence of metals can also affect hair color and texture, causing unwanted changes.

That’s where a metal detox comes in. Understanding the significance of metal detoxing in maintaining luscious locks is crucial.

Bridging the Divide

Bridging the Divide

In Arizona’s vibrant landscape, a persistent challenge that demands our attention and advocacy is the gender pay gap. As we strive for equity and inclusivity, it is imperative to address this issue head-on and work towards creating a fair and just society for all, but more specifically for those who have been marginalized for centuries past. Additionally, we must consider the impact of disclosing salary history and its role in perpetuating existing inequities.
