Zenz - healthy hair

Yesterday I went to an event at the hairdresser Zenz in København Ø at Sortedam Dosseringen 101. Zenz is a green saloon which means they really think about the environment and health, by using cleaner products than usual hairdressers. Their products are some of the best in the market, which means you wont get allergic reactions or problems with your skin. And the hairdressers the same, which normally inhale all the toxic fumes as well as wash out the chemicals in the sink. It was very interesting to hear about their work and products, how hey think about the health of themselves, their customers and the environment. Even their shops are painted in more eco friendly paint etcetera. At the event we even got healthy snacks from the local rawfood take away, Raw Sum.

Throughout the last 10 years I have become a lot more conscious about my health, the ethics of humans and animals (rights and Fairtrade) as well as the environment. I am trying to do my best, by buying the best products but it's difficult when being on a student income. But we all need to make a change for our own sake, our children and for the planet. We need to treat all humans the same and at the best as well as our animals and plants. We all depend on each other.

One thing, we as women could think about, is the use of beauty products. Especially pregnant women who also need to think about their child. How many products do you use on a day? And how healthy are they?

Take a look at this video and make up your own mind, whether or not you should try out some new products.

I normally use products like Sanex and Neutral for my bath and roll on deo. Not sexy but cleaner product than most. Then I normally use an Nuxe oil for my skin and maybe a perfume, often Issey Miyake. On a daily basis I don't wear make up, but going out I would usually wear Mascara from Dior or Korres, blush from Nouba. And if I wanted to go all in with make I would add a Make up store foundation, Mac eye shadow and a lipstick or gloss properly also from Mac. So when thinking about it, I use quite a few products and most of them are filled with chemicals and some properly pretty dangerous for my health. I could definitely change some of the products for the better. I will be starting. Thank god I am not one of those girls wearing make up every day, I think that part really helps my skin and health a lot.

I have already ordered a session with both a haircut and colouring in December, I will of course document the visit with pictures, so that you can see the result. I am especially looking forward to see the colours in action.
