I recommend conducting a preliminary strand test first, especially if you have blonde hair and swim in chlorinated pool; your hair may have a green cast after a TR service. Or, have your stylist use a clarifying shampoo and treatments for a few weeks before receiving TR.

The TR System is not recommended to use on Afro-Canadian Hair. The straightening system is not strong enough to relax Afro-Canadian Hair.

No. The chemical ingredient in all TR products is thioglycolate or a derivative of glycolate. Sodium hydroxide and thioglycolate do not mix. I heard some stylists doing it for whatever reason, but I do NOT recommend it. Ask any chemist and they'll tell you it is a no go.

It does of course depend entirely on which drugs are used but, generally speaking, as herbs work to heal the body and the drugs work to allay symptoms, in many cases they can therefore be used together. Please make sure you have alerted us to any and all medications or supplements that you are taking, so that we can let you know if there may be a conflict.

Minimal in the case of the polyethylene boats, Turbo’s and Yole Club. All moving parts and stainless roller bearings should be thoroughly rinsed with fresh water and lubricated from time to time with a silicon lubricant. To clean the polyethylene a regular house hold soft scrub product works well. The fiberglass boats, Yole Class and Turbo Skiff SL, can be cleaned the same as the polyethylene boats and from time to time, a good shine with a boat wax.

The Troll Daddy holds up very well in salt water if taken care of and dried off after each use. It is made of galvanized steel and then powder coated to help make is salt water resistant. Also all the hardware that is comes with is stainless steel.

I do not recommend ever doing your hair at home. Home-jobs are usually done by people without the ability to troubleshoot, especially with hair that has been TRd. People doing their own hair lack the physical perspective which can make all the difference in the outcome. I think that you need to take the time to find a stylist during a time when you are not in an emergency situation. There are many ways to find a great person. Go conduct interviews.

The POOL FROG, when used as a complete system with periodic shocking, offers complete pool care in one complete unit. Some builders promote the addition of other systems to compliment the POOL FROG, such as Ozone Systems or Salt Chlorine Generators. Both of these systems are compatible with the POOL FROG. Ozone acts as a shocking mechanism reducing the need for shock. We still require a low-level chlorine residual in the pool at all times.

The type of disinfection used, and the levels of residual disinfection products in your drinking water, is information that you can obtain from your water business.

Any chlorine in our drinking water is too much, however the EPA guidelines allow up to 4 parts per million (ppm) in municipal tap water. This is a higher percentage than the 3ppm (parts per million) suggested as safe for swimming pools. There is an abundance of information on the internet with evidence that chlorine is linked to cancer, heart disease and many other health problems. Chlorine is needed in water to kill bacteria, but it should be removed prior to use.

The Epsom salt solution seems to be beneficial to the skin. We have listened to some opinions that say epsom salt is very good for strengthening the hair. We know it's good for roses, why not hair? You thoroughly rinse the salt from your hair and body when you leave the tank.

The Epsom salt solution has many beneficial properties to the skin. We have no information on the effects of salt on hair. You thoroughly rinse the salt from your hair and body when you leave the tank. We have not found any way to keep hair dry while floating. Return to Top

Our public water utilities are governed by Federal agencies; we do have government controlled water purification standards. While chlorine, and its by-products, are known to have significant adverse health effects on humans, we choose it over water borne disease outbreaks from bacterial water contaminants (like typhoid and cholera which plagued most countries prior to the introduction of chlorine in the late 1800s).

Yes. The chemical ingredient in all TR products is thioglycolate or a derivative of glycolate. Therefore, you can switch back and forth to any TR brand. Two weeks, if you are looking for straighter results. Remember, with any chemical hair straightening service, it is very important to have structurally competent hair.

No, all of our vessel have heads (bathrooms) and hot showers, and our water maker produces enough fresh water for regular bathing.

Using www.evans-lambert.com shows our sentimental side as this domain name predates the creation of our company. Our internet presence started with the innocent gift from Mary's cousin Neal. We were still very active on eBay and didn't have a real "company" name. When we first started to sell off eBay, this was the domain we started with. Naturally it has a special place in our hearts. However we also currently own www.theothersideofthesun.com, www.othersideofthesun.

Yes. Many tests have shown that the amount of chlorine found in treated water is safe to drink. Chlorine is needed to maintain disinfection throughout the distribution system. The potential of water contaminations without a chlorine additive outweighs the chlorine concerns. The cloudy water is caused by tiny air bubbles in the water similar to the gas bubbles in beer and carbonated soft drinks. After a while, the bubbles rise to the top and are gone.

Many water suppliers use chlorine as the primary disinfectant to inactivate potential disease causing organisms. PW uses chlorine dioxide as its primary treatment plant disinfectant with the addition of chlorine as the disinfectant in the distribution system. Federal legislation known as the Surface Water Treatment Rule, promulgated in 1989, necessitated changes in the way disinfectants such as chlorine are added to water.
