The Celiac Diva – Page 11 – The Celiac Diva

Let’s talk gluten-free hairspray. One question you may have is: “should I use gluten-free hairspray? Sounds kinda nutty to me.” lol, I won’t lie, it does sound extreme unless… some people react topically to gluten (ex: it really irritates my eyes), and some people live with DH (the topical form of Celiac Disease). For these 2 groups of people, gluten-free hairspray is a must. That leads us to the 3rd group. What if you have gluten intolerance or Celiac Disease and have been told that you shouldn’t worry about topical products? To you, I’ll share this: I’d like to present another point of view, then you can take that information and make the decision you feel is best for you. Every time we spray down our luscious locks, we inevitably inhale a little hairspray and whatever ingredients it’s made of. Ready for my dramatic analogy? None of us would spray a product with rat poison in it. Why? We wouldn’t want to ingest it accidentally, and we know that could easily happen. For me, the same concept applies to gluten. It’s poison to us, so I steer clear. Every opportunity I have to eliminate the possibility of ingesting gluten, I snag it. For me, this is one more way to ensure that I’m headed towards the healthiest version of myself. Plus, there are tons of gluten-free hairsprays….Inhale away! (Just teasing).
