Title: Bleaching caused by Headslick
Post by: Slyfive on March 27, 2012, 05:24:55 AM
Hey guys,
All my towels are getting bleached patches on them, and this has only started since I went sly, headslick is the only addition to my routine. Do any of you have any experience with this?

I'v been using Headslick for almost 5 years and have never seen this. BUT.... all my towels are white!  :)

Check the ingredient list. Does it contain, for example, either benzoyl peroxide or hydrogen peroxide? Benzoyl peroxide is found in a lot of skin care products and can bleach pretty dramatically over time.

Back in my bad acne days I eventually gave up on all benzoyl peroxide products. My clothes, towels, pillow cases, sheets, etc. were getting bleached from the products I was using. No matter how carefully I put the stuff on my face my eyebrows and hairline would get bleached too -- brown hair will get an orangish cast to it.

Or get an old washcloth or something you're willing to sacrifice and put some Headslick on it for a few hours and see what happens.

I'm a regular HeadSlick user and haven't noticed any bleaching on the towels.

I have not seen this either.  I have dark blue towels that I have used often!

Been using HeadSlick for over 4 years and I haven't experienced this. Like MikeKoz13 all of my towels are white.

That's a good question to post to the headblade support people. 

I use headslick daily.  Have not noticed a problem.

No problem at all here with HeadSlick in the five years I've used it, and I use towels in colors and white.
Is there any other product you use, perhaps for acne or facial cleansing?

Nope but I think I've found the culprit, a flat mate does use acne treatment and has been wiping his hands on my towel!
