Aveda Hair Color (at specific Aveda salons like Mitra at Belli Capelli 415-346-4100)

Best Cleaners:   Health Food Stores or Lifetime Solutions.   Focus on using vinegar or vinegar based products or citrus based products made from lemmon, orange or grapefruit.   Hydrogen Peroxide is toxic but not too bad if not ingested.   Rubbing alcohol is toxic but tends to be somewhat less toxic than ammonia and many of the other cleaners.   Fairly good natural cleaning products can be purchased from Network Marketing companies such as Amway or www.equinox-products.com or www.vitasalus.com.   The less smelly the product the better. Simple Green is very, very toxic and should be avoided.   Clorox Bleach and similar products should be avoided.   Triad Of Health and Dr. Ilya carry Loalsan which is a pine scented cleaner that can be purchased in the office.
