So we have had a lot of request for “Brazilian Blowout/ Keratin treatment” and while we have been offering this service for the past two years, there is a lot of Buzz going on right now that OSHA has found formaldehydes (a possible carcinogen) in many of the products. What do you as the consumer need to know? The companies promoting these products continue to say no formaldehyde in their system, while products tested by OSHA have shown they contain 8-10% of formaldehyde. So what does this mean to you? I think each person will need to seek the truth for themselves. For the stylist that works with the product daily, the obvious is the exposure which can cause eye stinging, or burning, difficulty breathing, and in some cases possible nosebleeds. So mask, gloves are so important if you are a stylist. For the consumer… when you must weigh the benefits versus risk, consumers are not putting their hands in the product on a daily basis. Here is a link to a report done by GMA, so be informed and make your own decision.
We offer both of the systems shown here.
