Are hair extensions TOXIC? Ciara Imani May | Clean Beauty School Podcast

“The issues [with waste ant toxicity] that I identified early on with synthetic hair scared me. Once I understood that normal synthetic hair was made from frowned upon materials and ingredients, I thought, Well, how did it make its way on my head and so many other people’s heads if everybody else seems to know this?” says sustainability & non-toxic beauty entrepreneur Ciara Imani May, founder of Rebundle. Rebundle is a plant-based and fully recyclable hair extension company used in braids and protective styling for Black women. “Beauty should bring joy to our lives, but at what cost?” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen and beauty director Alexandra Engler, chats with May about the burden of toxicity experienced by women of color, the short and long-term consequences of scalp inflammation, and why we need better hair care solutions for Black women.
