  • Kanekalon Hair: Is it all Toxic?
    So today we will learn if all Kanekalon Hair is toxic or dangerous. This video is in response to the Kanekalon Hair should be illegal video and the second video on this topic. The two Kanekalon hair fibers we will discuss today are the Flame Retardant Polyester and the Organic Collagen Fiber. So many complain about having a kanekalon hair allergy, so how safe is Kanekalon hair?
    We will discuss how Kanekalon hair fibers are made with Polyethylene terephthalate and Regenerated Collagen and if they are toxic to our health or the environment.

    We basically have to choose our poison....the ingredients in makeup are toxic so I choose to be completely makeup free aside from light lip gloss. However, I wear synthetic box braids that I pre soak in vinegar. I figure I don't go for overkill since I gave up makeup due to its toxins.

    I buy the x-pression kanekalon hair for customizing dolls. I always wash it and then boil wash it so it goes pin straight so I can use it. That also makes it super shiney and bouncy. I have noticed that there is what I thought was a sort of product in the hair that comes off the hair after washing. Now I'm wondering if that is a chemical they put on the hair. All in all I'm wondering if it's safe to use on my dolls or if I should switch to a new fiber.

    Research people for yourselves to get a true understanding to make the best possible decision because given certain situations and conditions toxity may differ from gas state to liqiud state to solid state etc. Also, consider the safety data sheets for these ingredients. For example at a liquid state among workers this may be highly toxic but at its normal solid state it's relatively safe for consumer use. Again dig in for yourself to fully determine. May God's peace and wisdom guide you as to its safety at its current state worn. What may be unsafe in one state can be safe in the state to the purpose of its use not giving off the high toxity as it would if otherwise. There's a lot of information out here so look on government sites safety data sheets including the Japanese government since Kaneka Corp is in Japan, and not personal opinion ones that may magnify fear in ways not needed. All of this gave me peace so I encourage you to do the same.

    Hello everyone I think you should definitely look into trying yarn for braids and also it also it’s good for doing twist as well. But I just found out about it like a few years ago and I think it’s a little bit more safer than using kanekalon hair And I feel like yarn hair has some cons about it but I think it’s more safer to use on your hair than the other type of hair and it does tend to get caught on your hair And more... But I can’t go on it does look even more real as they can looks and get older. So we should definitely look it up I think it’s very interesting and I did you a couple videos that show how to braid your hair with it and also helps with your hair with it and it looks really lovely and I’m definitely going to try it out And it’s a little bit more cheaper than using kanekalon on your hair. I hope this information helps you and have a great day.
