From The Mailbag: Reducing The Environmental Impact Of Rev. Billy's Hair
Reverend Billy -- here is a recipe I found:
Styling Gel ( I know not hairspray, but when you use the Young Living Shampoo you will find your hair is more manageable)
1 cup water
1 tsp. unflavored gelatin
1 to 2 drops Young Living essential oil.I suggest Valor, as when you are speaking this gives confidence.
Heat water but don't bring it to a boil. Stir in the gelatin and the essential oil. Pour the mixture into a clean container with a tight fitting lid, and let it set up before using it. Stored in the refrigerator, the gel will keep about 4 weeks. If you use it everyday. you can store it in a cool, dry, dark place like a bathroom cabinet. To use, apply the gel as you would any styling gel, to add body to your hair and help hold it in place.
Just as companies don't really put on the labels: yes this is made in a sweat shop by people who don't want to work there and just put made in China etc.. So is the companies we use daily to groom ourselves. I think that is alarming as well!! I would like you to be around and share your great message with everyone and not have the products you use harm you. So companies don't have to give full disclosure, they have been putting things like Propylene Glycol which is used in antifreeze solution, and put it in the shampoo, pet food, baby wipes, etc. Even in Essential oils that are on the market that claim to be "natural".

Dear Michelle
Stunning my follicles into submission has been a consumer habit I’ve endured and my live-in wife has put up with the spray of effluent evil in our home as well. So this is time for a confession from the pastor who has these poisons in him, and who has cast-off the spraycans, famously unrecyclable. Suddenly I’m sitting here wondering how it was possible that I let this happen for so long? The sin is habituated, a programmed part of my inertia of desire. I’m maintaining my brand, and I beg for forgiveness – and I will change this immediately. I’ll never buy another White Rain or Aquanet as long as I live. Amen? ---Rev

As you'll see in the database, many top-selling beauty products -- from hair gels and lotions, to make-up and even baby shampoos -- contain chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects, learning disablities and other health problems. There is no need for this. Companies already know how to make safer alternatives, but as long as we have a system that worships the all-mightly dollar at the expense of health and common sense, the shelves will be stocked with toxic baby shampoos and scary hair sprays.

I'm the guy you chatted with on Christmas Eve about energy conservation, catastrophic climate change and hair care products. I am confident that you can tame your locks in a sustainable and socially beneficial way and that shea butter is the answer. AND, it's CHEAPER than the poison you've been buying from the man!
The stuff that I bought was about half the price of what is sold at the link I'm giving you, but I think that a toxic, petroleum product called hexane, which left a horrible smell when I first opened my tub, was used in its production. Fortunately over time it off-gased and now seems fine. But, next time I will make a more educated purchase. Check it out here:
